-Nuclear Program Plan Initiatives are des.ignated by NPP prefixes.

PIP Action Plans are represented by numerical prefixes.

SY!;0PSIS OF RECENT PERPORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ACTIV! TIES i

21Feb91 Twelve Action Plans were reviewed and closed by our Performance i mp r ov e tte n t Review Panel (PIRP) in Novettbe r.

The panel consists of the Vice President Nu-clear and his Managers.

Their charge is to evaluate verified Action Plans againsc their root. causes and menagement expectations Pollowup actions were assigned to 6 and investigations addressing the need for further imp rovettent s were initiated for 3.

Management responses to the findings of the 2nd Effectiveness Verification were received in Decembet.

Analysis of these, including followup of the 1st vertical slice recommendations was initiated in January.

PIP transition to Nuclear Program Plan wns irrplement ed in J anuary.

Other significant changes associ.

ated with this tree tion include implerren* '

i,eessment/ Performance litp roveme nt Cycle

-refocus..g ecountabitity for performance ittp roveme nt from the PIP project team to the line organization.

-converting PIP P/2 schedules into Action Item Trachite due dates and mile-stones

-adding 8 new performance improvement initiatives and modifying 4 P!P Action Plans in response to Summer Planning Conference recommendations The concept of business process was adapted as a cornerstone of future Nuclear Program Plan performance improvement rfforts.

A business process represents a discrete operation or activity that ran be ditected by an " owner", produces a

" product" for " customers", and has na output goal (performance standard) and a means of measuring achievement against that goal (performance indicators).

The BG6E procedure hierarchy establishes a framework supporting business proc-ess definition.

Future perform 1nce improvement s will be categorized into oi-ther business process upgrades or cultural (nuclear divisional) upgrades.

A pilot program to establish 8 business processes, owners, and performance indi-cators was initiated in January.

Definition of the remaining buniness proc, esses is expected to follow during 1991.

The NRC Site Residcnt inspector was briefed on c,ur recent performance improve ment activities in January.

Two Action Plans were traced through the verifi-cation and closure path by the NRC Site Resident inspector.

The results will be presented in an inspect ton report.
