Oncor Electric Delivery
The Overall Business Strategy
The overall strategy and Business Model looks at the business in three major segments:
• Asset Ownership
• Asset Management
• Asset Services/Operations
Oncor Electric Delivery
Asset Owner Function
Key Driver is Business Excellence

Asset Manager Function
Key Driver is Asset Excellence
Strong focus on the performance of all Assets (financial, physical, human, etc.)
Core competencies in performance measurement, analysis, economic lifecycle & managing risk
Leverages information technology to manage accurate & timely information
The Asset Manager Drives:• Strategic asset planning
• Balancing the financial, technical, & sociopolitical components
• Holistic consideration of spending (Capital, O&M)
• Performance accountability

Asset Services Function
Key Driver is Service Excellence
Best-in-Class Implementation of Asset Plan(s)
Focuses on efficient & responsive service delivery
Values customer service & the quality of the work
Core competencies in work management & operating acumen
Asset Services drives:• Best in class processes
• Most effective use of resources
• Consumer/Customer Satisfaction

Key Accountabilities
Asset Owner
Develops overall business plans
Determines appropriate level of investment & spending for assets (capital & O&M)
Defines owner’s risk tolerance
Defines expected level of performance of
assets:
- Financial
- Technical (Reliability)
Asset Manager
Develops strategies, policies, & standards
Monitors implementation of
Asset Plans and key performance indicators
Asset Plans include:
- Asset expansion, augmentation and
replacement projects & programs.
- Materials, design, and construction standards
- Maintenance & operations guidelines
Asset Services
Implements Asset Plans according to predetermined
performance metrics
Designs & builds asset expansions and
replacements per standard
Maintains and operates assets in accordance with guidelines
Provides key feedback on asset condition & performance

What’s Different And What’s Not
What's different:
Asset Management will be more focused on planning, strategy, policy
Asset Services will be more focused on superior Plan execution
What's not different:
Asset Services input and feedback on system planning, standards, plan development and other issues is just as critical as it ever has been
Clear, continuous, straightforward communication between groups is the key to shared success

• New concept initiated for the performance of distribution field engineering and customer service activities “out of office”
• Concept based on the criteria to provide plan of service, design specific details, calculation of customer charges, and other project specifics (easement & vegetation management requirements, etc.) while “on location” with customer and potentially during first site visit
• Includes integration of new tools including non-graphic estimating tool and design programs into mobile computer system
• Future enhancements include mobile connectivity to System program to update databases and issue work requests & service orders

• Construction pricing developed to utilize “unit pricing” for performance of construction specific activities
• Goal is to “unitize” as much work as can effectively be captured with this type of pricing
• Expected that approximately 90% of all construction to be based on unit work
• Construction units are integrated into estimating systems such that system output includes quantity and type of construction units for that specific project (based on estimate by designer)

• Example of construction unit is as follows:
Unit # Unit Description
CB2000
PRIMARY CABLE, SINGLE PHASE. INCLUDES: SET UP/BREAKDOWN, PULL ROPE, PULL CABLE IN CONDUIT, MAINTAIN MOISTURE SEAL AT CABLE ENDS AND CLEANUP. UNIT OF MEASURE = PER PULL (245' AVG PULL).

• Audits of design & construction activities have been initiated to provide an “external” look at the quality of work
• Items include full range of design & construction activities
• Actions plans from audits to provide training and educate field personnel on design & construction standards
• Additional activity includes review of Standards of construction and material requirements for “real work” application
• Also includes review & revisions to design estimating units and associated material requirements driven by estimating system

• Centralized development of maintenance programs to provide efficiencies on performance of work and also consistent approach to maintenance practices
• Maintenance programs developed and targeted to address specific items (facilities) or issues to derive maximum benefit from maintenance dollars
• Maintenance programs developed by Asset Manager organization with review of latest technology and practices available
• Field organizations charged with timely and cost-effective completion of specific maintenance work
• Both organizations judged by improvement in operating performance of distribution system

Engineering & Construction – What Changes?Program Development
A summary of the various types of maintenance programs are as follows:
• Visual & infrared inspection of feeders• Ground line pole inspection, treatment, reinforcement and
replacement• Underground cable testing & diagnostics• Cable rehabilitation (silicon injection)• Capital replacement programs (poles, crossarms, cable,
etc.)• Open-wire secondary replacement• Vegetation management activities

• Performance Metrics developed to focus each organization on its specific activities and areas of control
• Metrics developed around design, construction, and operational items at a more “operational” level than before
• Metric owners and also data sources identified to provide ownership responsibility and consistency of data measurement & application
• Electronic “performance dashboard” developed to provide up-to-date picture of performance
• Timely reporting allows timely adjustment to developing trends as well as overall focus on organizational goals
