Asset management plan(s)

How has the organisation communicated its plan(s) to all relevant parties to a level of detail appropriate to the receiver's role in theirdelivery? How are designated responsibilities fordelivery of asset plan actions documented?

3 The AMP is communicated to all stakeholders including employees and Field Service Providers (FSPs). The organisation, end to end process, Vector's Delegated Financial Authorities (DFA) and works programmes are all set up to deliver the works effectively. The AMP is also published on Vector's web site.

Plans will be ineffective unless they are communicated to all those, including contracted suppliers and those who undertake enabling function(s). The plan(s) need to be communicated in a way that is relevant to those who need to use them. The implementation of asset management plan(s) relies on (1) actions being clearly identified, (2) an ownerallocated and (3) that ownerhaving sufficient delegated responsibility and authority to carry out the work required. It also requires alignment of actions across the organisation. This question explores how well the plan(s) set out responsibility fordelivery of asset plan actions. It is essential that the plan(s) are realistic and can be implemented, which requires appropriate resources to be available and enabling mechanisms in place. This question explores how well this is achieved. The plan(s) not only need to consider the resources directly required and timescales, but also the enabling activities, including forexample, training requirements, supply chain capability and procurement timescales. Widely used AMpractice standards require that an organisation has plan(s) to identify and respond to emergency situations. Emergency plan(s) should outline the actions to be taken to respond to specified emergency situations and ensure continuity of critical asset management activities including the communication to, and involvement of, external agencies. This question assesses if, and how well, these plan(s) triggered, implemented and resolved in the event of an incident. The plan(s) should be appropriate to the level of risk as determined by the organisation's risk assessment methodology. It is also a requirement that relevant personnel are competent and trained.

3 Vector's delivery model is continuously reviewed to identify opportunities to improve efficiencies. Options are also being reviewed to develop and approve longer termwork plans, which provide more certainty to VectorFSP's to allow them to resource appropriately and delivergood customerexperience, network performance and cost efficiencies.

3 Contingency plans are in place forbusiness continuity, supply restoration, response to natural disasters, health, safety and environmental events. Supplies to critical areas are duplicated and temporary generation is available for emergency supplies. Regular reviews of business continuity and emergency plans are completed to ensure they remain current. Reviews are also completed following majorevents to identify and make improvements (eg following the April 2018 Auckland storm). Incident management processes and Corporate HSE policies ensure that incident and emergency situations are appropriately managed and reported both internally and to external regulators if required.
