This Consultant conducted an interviewprocess/assessment with the team involved with the testing. After gathering, analyzing the data, andpresenting it to the team, the recommendations were accepted. Implementation included analyzing existingworkflow, redesigned digit ized workflow and added new features to allow the fuel tests to be properlyrequested, performed and completed. This resulted in reducing fuel waste and lowering safety violations onthe test site while increasing the quality of test results with process improvements that put in place due to theConsultant recommendations.
