Planned work

to be executed

• Allow for participants having different backgrounds and thus

not the same ability for interpreting data

• Allow for knowledge sharing

• Visualize history, consensus and implications

• Provide an overview of the planned activities

IO MAP prototype

Developed in the IO-FuCE project

in phase 1 of the IO Center by IFE

[Braseth & Sarshar, 2012]

IO1 Teamwork and Capabilities

Findings from the usability study 1/2

• IO-MAP fills an important function in visualising risk

factors in connection to tasks and location, offering

an extra highlight and reminder of these on the map.

• Visualization may help onshore staff with limited

offshore familiarity to align to the existing offshore

setting.

IO1 Teamwork and Capabilities

Findings from the usability study 2/2

• The findings from the usability study of the first

version of the tool showed that users could more

easily share understanding and communicate

through a shared visualization.

• Such tools can help simplify the day to day operation

in the way that information is gathered in one place

and it allows users to see relations and possible

outcome of the job planning.

IO1 Teamwork and Capabilities

On-going study:

• Explore the relation between high quality plans for

offshore maintenance and operational activities and

major accident prevention.

Assumption:

• Low quality planning processes lead to low quality

plans, which in turn increase the risk for major

accidents.

IO1 Teamwork and Capabilities 12

• Maintenance management is illustrated as a work

flow where products are produced with low HSE risks

and high production performance [NORSOK Z-008].

• A high quality plan shall make it possible to execute

the work in a safe manner, without accidents, and

make it possible to deliver a finished work

state/product that can be operated safely.

IO1 Teamwork and Capabilities 13

What are attributes of high-quality plans vis-à-vis

preventing major accidents?

How should the planning process be organized to

promote development of high-quality plans?

• The plan is robust and is comprehensible to its users

• Description of task execution includes contributions from all

disciplines and parties

• All safety issues have been resolved

• Allow time and avoid pressure

• Competence

• Involvement

• Communication

• Feedback loop
