The Automated Document Transmittal System (ADTS) is an application that provides an easy way to generate, track, and maintain document transmittals related to different document sets (Ex. Controlled Set, Work Plan, Procurement Set) used by a utility. Virtual copies of the document sets are created within ADTS and the system provides data manipulation and generates reports to allow document control staff to prepare and transmit documents to the selected document “control station” work packages and vendors.

Calculation Utility uses the latest database technology to search thousands of records in a matter of seconds. It offers an on site solution, which realizes the necessity of keeping hard copy calculations on site, PKMJ brings manpower and equipment on site for calculation scanning. PKMJ’s experienced staff converts documents currently stored in paper and microfiche format into digital / electronic images via high-speed paper and film scanners. Viewing electronic images using the Calculation Utility shortens document retrieval time from days to seconds. It offers a number of user friendly features, including pop-up search screens that allow users to easily conduct complex searches with only a few clicks of the mouse.

The Configuration Management Interface System (CMIS) is an easy to use tool to create Engineering Changes packages that is customized to each fleet/site process and enforces procedural requirements. CMIS allows users to generate a complete package for an engineering change including forms in the application and any PDF attachments. CMIS allows users from any site to view completed Equivalency Evaluations across all participating sites within the application. Once a desired solution is found, users can then replicate the completed evaluation into the user’s Site Equivalency Forms. This supplies users with key fields that are mapped between each site’s Equivalency Process giving the user the information required to complete the evaluation. This replication includes reference documents used in the original equivalency such as Vendor Manuals.

The Critical Spares (CS) application is an add-on module for POMS that assists utilities with identifying what the critical spares are within their inventory and what their stocking requirements should be. Users are able to manage their critical spares program by evaluating their inventory based on reports within the application and keeping track of the results.

The ER Workbench consists of a set of web applications called modules, each designed to assist in a specific task. Each module has been designed to integrate with other modules for overall superior manageability of equipment and ease of use. The ER Workbench features a built in search engine, the ER Analyzer. The ER Analyzer takes criteria from the user and builds complex queries. The Analyzer can be used to search across business-objects. For example, with the Analyzer, users can search for components that contain stocks procurement has deemed obsolete. The analyzer also has built-in ad hoc report generation capabilities, know as Custom Summary Analysis. Custom Summary Analysis puts the user in control of the Workbench's reporting capabilities.

Identify obsolescence issues, leverage stock information from purchase orders, Bill of Materials, Work orders, and internal notifications, utilize RAPIDs data, and evaluate material availability.

This module is used to automate template duplication and revision. Track revision history of templates, perform "What-if" cost-impact analysis on template changes. Provide and track effective and challenge period. Components assigned to a template can also be tracked using module 2.

Track components by replacement method, store obsolescence information, categorize components by effect of component failure on outage, Single Point Vulnerability (SPV) reduction planning, component replacement budget estimates, and replacement strategy.

Reference all corporate PMs, perform annualized cost/savings analysis to aid in PM Optimization, validate template tasks to PM frequencies, generate truth table reports, and document justifications when/if they are allowed.

Used to generate the yearly plant health report, but capable of monitoring the health of the plant every day to notify system engineers where plant health is trending.

Monitors the effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants. Monitors the overall continuing effectiveness of maintenance programs to ensure that systems, structures, and components are capable of performing their functions. It includes system and function scoping, unavailability and functional failure tracking, and evaluations.

PKMJ offers an industry leading Obsolescence program that utilizing “Engineering on Demand” services, Proactive Forecasting, Data Analysis, along with procedural alignment. Each portion of the Obsolescence Program is flexible and can be tailored to accommodate site specific requirements. The outline below details a top down approach to our process.

PKMJ has implemented services and software products at 117 nuclear units across the United States, Canada, Europe, and South America. In addition to these activities, PKMJ has been invited to several obsolescence self assessments and has gained great amount of knowledge and implementation experience.

Plant Health is the only application on the market that allows users to easily identify system issues, to send those issues directly to the Plant Health committee, and to track those issues to completion. Plant Health also solves the lack of communication between System Engineering and other departments at a site, including design and management, to ensure System Health related issues are resolved. Plant Health integrates System Health, Long Range Planning, POMS Obsolescence Issues, and Configuration Management all in one application.

The Preventive Maintenance (PM) application is an add-on module for POMS that assists utilities with aligning all of their maintenance plans and scheduled work orders with available inventory. This identifies when needed materials to complete preventive maintenance activities will be depleted due to maintenance plans at different frequencies utilizing the same piece part. Additional usage analysis and future material needs are incorporated. PKMJ’s forward-looking analysis also uses obsolescence information from the Proactive Obsolescence Management System (POMS), along with current stocking level data and PM frequency to determine potential deferrals.

POMS, the Proactive Obsolescence Management System is a database and search tool designed to provide quick and easy retrieval of equipment and vendor obsolescence information. It also incorporates OIRD (Obsolete Items Replacement Database) part data and EPIX (Equipment Performance and Information Exchange) information. The BOM (Bill of Materials) reconstitution system links equipment to parts through the BOM and work orders to better associate obsolete part information to the parent equipment. POMS links equipment to parts through the BOM and work orders to better associate obsolete part information to the parent equipment and fill in the gaps.
