The IGBC™ is a multi-company
initiative for those companies who:
|
 |
operate fleets
of fossil generation plants. |
|
|
are under increasing
pressure to cut costs while maintaining
historically high reliability standards. |
|
|
experience the everyday
realities of an aging infrastructure, but have
limited capital to address the problem head on. |
|
|
have an aging workforce
driving needed productivity improvements and the
preservation of institutional operations and
maintenance expertise. |
|
|
have a genuine desire to
learn through the sharing practices, insights,
and relevant process performance
benchmarks. |
Target
Participants
Utilities, utility affiliates and
independent generators who operate fossil fueled power
plant fleets generally exceeding 5,000 MWe of installed
capacity.
|
|
Operations located in
Europe, Australia, Africa and the Americas. |
|
|
Primary fuels are coal,
lignite and gas. |
|
|
Power production,
combined cycle and combined heat and power
technologies. |
Our
Approach
The approach is
modeled on UMS Group's diagnostic and benchmarking
methodologies, a unique framework that has been employed
for nearly 20 years at several hundred organizations.
Outputs
and Deliverables
A focused set of
relevant comparative performance metrics, best
practices, and insights from the world's largest power
generators, gathered every 2 to 4 years:
|
|
Performance comparisons on
cost, productivity, and service levels,
segmented by plant size, unit size, fuel,
operating environment, age, etc. |
|
|
A web portal to support
alternative comparisons and monitor improvement
progress between program cycles. |
|
|
Frequent issue-focused
practices sharing forums conducted by
teleconference and on-line interface. |
|
|
A catalogue of insights
and best practices from high performance
plants and fleets. |
|
|
Operational results/best
practices conference designed for functional
managers and directors responsible for
addressing opportunities and implementing key
learnings. |
|
|
Optional on-site workshops
for each participating company to focus
attention on results and potential improvement
initiatives. |
