Abstract:
The problem of operational-search support of special operations with the help of a complex of operational-search measures and other auxiliary tactical methods of actions that contribute to the effective achievement of goals and the solution of special operations tasks is considered. Based on the definitions of the concepts «special operation», «operational-search operation» and the opinions of researchers, the author proposed a definition of an operational-search support of special operations, tasks and stages of its implementation are formulated. It is noted that the entire range of tasks can be solved only with the widespread use of the undercover method, the use of an operational game, which implies the use of an organizational and tactical form - an operational search operation. If it is necessary to urgently conduct a special operation in conditions of extremely limited operational illumination, only certain measures of operational-search support are possible, which do not include an operational-search operation. Analyzing the experience of the practical activities of the internal affairs bodies of Russia, the author concludes about the consideration of special and operational-search operations in their dialectical interaction, when one type of operation by tactical methods of action can solve problems inherent in it, and at the same time it can ensure the actions of another type of operation. When analyzing the operational-search support, the author determines its most effective organizational and tactical form – the operational-search operation.

Abstract:
The article outlines conceptual and corresponding formal models of system functioning. Models provide means for estimation of information operation effects and the operational properties of systems and their functioning. Such systems are changed due to information operations. Examples of operational properties are efficiency, the effectiveness of system functioning, system capabilities and system potential. Operational properties are estimated based on functioning effects. Such effects of information operations are manifested through a system functioning under the conditions of a changing environment. An estimation of effects and operational properties is fulfilled analytically. It is made through plotting the dependences of the predicted values of effects and operational properties of information operations and corresponding IT usage against the variables and options of problems solved. To develop this type of model, the use of information operations during system functioning is analyzed through an example of a technological system. General concepts and principles of the modeling of information operations during the operation of such systems are defined. An exemplary modeling of the effects of technological information, and the related technological non-information operations of technological systems operation is provided. Based on concept models of information operations of technological systems, functioning set-theoretical models followed by functional models are introduced. An example of operational properties indicators estimation is considered. It is based on Architecture of Integrated Information Systems (ARIS) diagramming tools’ usage. Use cases of such indicators include choosing optimal information operations characteristics.

Abstract:
After spring barley harvest the operational effects of tillers and seed drill on spring barley residues were evaluated in two variants of cultural operations. Generally low values of soil surface coverage by crop residues after cultural operations were performed document that soil tillage and sowing did not comply with the criteria for conservation technologies – the coverage of soil surface by crop residues was lower by 30% after all cultural operations. After silage maize harvest we determined the weight of maize crop residues and coverage of soil surface by these residues after shallow tillage by a disk tiller when nine variants of the operating mode of the tiller were used. Obviously, the change in the operating mode of the tiller was able to influence the coverage of soil surface by maize residues. The evaluation of the operational effects of disc tiller on crop residues indicated some restraints of the use of this group of implements for conservation (erosion-control) technologies of soil tillage.

Abstract:
There is a risk that the transition process from the mining construction stage to the mining production operation stage will fail, which will have an impact on the production operation going forward. The impact of productivity, cost, social and security, commitment to customers are concerns. This study aims to find out what happened during the transition phase of construction to mining production operations at PT Maruwai Coal.To achieve these objectives this research uses a qualitative approach, case studies, data collection by interviews, observations and documentation and directly involved in the Operations Readiness process.The steps to create an Operations Readiness Plan and an Operations Readiness Execution Plan are critical in determining the success of Operations Readiness, which focuses on building a team, licensing and community acceptance, building infrastructure and mapping operational needs and schedules.Thus Operation Readiness requires a schedule, budget, organizational structure and senior management commitment. Operations Readiness must be considered for implementation by mining companies in preparing new mining operations from the start.Keywords: Operations Readiness, PT Maruwai Coal

Abstract:
Major objectives of farm mechanization are to maximize production at minimum risks and optimum cost of equipment usage by good management planning and operation of machines to carry out sequence crop production operations for the whole farming system. Hence this study was needed at Sunti Golden Sugar Company, Nigeria to determine cost of equipment use and select appropriate tractor power and machinery for the crop cultivation, crop establishment, weed control, cane harvesting and transporting to the store for post-harvest processing for future target of 4,770 ha of sugar cane farm. Based on agricultural farm size, field operational planning factors like soil, weather/environmental conditions, each implement matched with appropriate tractor size was calculated. Costs of equipment use, ownership and operational costs for implements and tractors were also calculated. A well-drawn cropping field operations calendar was very important for crop and operational sequencing was recommended and was put in-place since the operations overlaps with multi-periods. As part of the recommendation, during the planned equipment downtime, major repairs and maintenance were to be carried out before critical field operation's period to improve pre-field and in-field efficiency for effective equipment and field operational planning and management. Determined are the values of each implement field capacity within allotted time available, actual number of implement/tractor power required, fuel and oil consumption per unit time for the sugar cane cultivation, harvesting and transporting operations at the sugar cane farm. Also appropriate earth-moving and earthwork equipment for road, irrigation and drainage structural works were also selected.

Abstract:
Introduction/purpose: The goal of the research in this paper is to present and evaluate the method of modeling operations by aggregating forces by simulating the battle process with Lanchester's equations. This method is the software basis of a certain number of programs used in NATO, in war simulations, and in the planning and analysis of operations. Its value is in understanding the consequences of decisions made with outcomes and results of combat actions. Methods: The case study of the well-known Operation Desert Storm gathered the necessary data on operational parameters and the way forces are used in battles. The obtained data were transformed into operational variables of the combat model using the force aggregation method, whose simulation was carried out using the method of differential Lanchester's equations (quadratic law). Results: By simulating the modeled operation, the parameters of the outcome of the conflict were obtained with numerical indicators of success, consumption of resources, etc. The results were analyzed and a certain correlation with the parameters of the real operation was determined, which enables the validation of the model. Conclusion: The partial validity of the model describing the conflict on a practical historical example from a case study was confirmed. There are objective limitations in the application of modeling of military operations and optimization of the use of forces. The value of this method is the possibility of a reliable strategic assessment of the adversary's military power at the strategic level.

Abstract:
Abstract Aligning resource choice and operations decision in the value chain (input-process-output) is one of the most important functions of a firm not only to make its operations to be competitively distinct but also very important for the firm’s growth and survival. However, the role of competitively distinct operations in maintaining better performance in dynamic and changing business environment has remained unclear. Therefore, this paper examined the relationship between competitively distinct operations, high efficiency operations and operational performance (research model one). In the similar manner the relationship between turbulent business environments, operational performance and financial performance were also examined (research model two). The study was conducted considering survey responses from 61 small and medium size enterprises from Finland. Correlation test and structural path modelling was used to test and validate the proposed hypothesis and research model. The results showed that competitively distinct operation enables high efficiency operations, which influences operational performance positively and significantly. In the similar manner, operational performance influences financial performance positively and significantly. Likewise, turbulent business environment was found to have a negative impact on operational and financial performance. The research findings are found to be adequate enough to highlight the importance of aligning resource choice and operations decisions in reducing the impact of turbulent business environment on organizational performance.

Abstract:
Thesis (MA (Political Science. International Studies))--Stellenbosch University, 2005.
Peace operations and security co-operations are expensive. Even though there are a variety of factors that influences peace agents when they consider approving a new, expanding an existing, or closing down a peace operation or security co-operation, one of these factors is the cost factor. If we were to isolate the cost factor it would follow that a reduction in the cost of peace operations and security co-operations, are likely to contribute to peace agents being more willing to approve new, expand existing or to give existing missions more time to consolidate before closing them down. There are a variety of ways how the cost of peace operations or security co-operations can be lowered. This thesis suggests an alliance with the private sector in the form of corporate sponsorships. In short, that peace operations and security co-operations be commodified and commercialised. This would entail introducing corporate sponsorship of some of the commodities that are used in peace operations and security co-operations, followed by the corporate sponsor using their involvement in the peace operation or security co-operation to their commercial advantage. The commodification and commercialisation of peace operations and security co-operations should result in the relevant operations and co-operations benefiting in a cost-effective as well as practical effectiveness sense, whereas the private sponsor should benefit in either or both a financial (profit) or an image-making sense. The psychological theory supporting such an argument is that of social identity theory. This theory explains how positive connotations made with peacemaking in warlike conditions will motivate industries to use this opportunity to show that their products can succeed in such demanding circumstances. Accordingly, social identity theory provides us with evidence as to how the commercialisation and commodification of peace operations and security co-operations can succeed. We also support our argument by providing a case study, Operation Rachel, which serves as a successful example of an operation that was (partially) commodified and commercialised. Operation Rachel, which can be seen as either or both a peace operation and security co-operation, shows that in the case of security co-operations, these operations should be presented as peace operations during the commodification and commercialisation processes.

Abstract:
Abstract The framing into demand driven operations is because of the operations research modelling approach. The modelling approach requires continuous regressors and an independent response factor. The demand as an operating factor is considered as independent response factor in relation to the continuous regressors. The method validation is made along several longitudinal case studies to cover local, global and international industrial operations. The examined operational scope is from continuous operations to one-off production. Concerning scheduling, these examined demand driven, industrial operations are considered as open and dynamic, flow shop or job-shop operations. The examined managerial scope is from local work management to global industrial operations management. The theoretical framework of this study is based on operations management, productivity and controllability engineering. The strategical target is to improve productivity. The operational target setting is based on linear goal programming, streamlined demand driven material flow and specified operating factors according to this study, Forrester effect diagnostics and replenishment models. The engineering of strategical target into exact operational schedule as a task target is hard to accomplish, because of the combinatorial dynamic job-shop problem. The purpose of this study is to simplify this managerial task. These study operating factors are the heart in constructing a Decision Support System for the examined operations, alongside the method’s product flow diagnostics. This operations management method consists of the operating factors, specified in this study and these specified factors’ use in constructing a Decision Support System, by engineering current operations management system. The construct consist two parts. Firstly, the exact operational target alignment along this method diagnostics and secondly, the control mechanism according to this operational linear target. The expected managerial benefit is in productivity improvement. The practical benefits are in savings in logistics costs and improvement in customer service, due to shorten lead time and exacting delivery.

Esta tese aborda o tema de Planejamento de Vendas e Operações, designado pelo acrônimo inglês de SeOP (Sales and Operations Planning). Trata-se de um campo recente em Gerência de Operações. SeOP é definido como um processo interfuncional e integrado de planejamento tático e como um conjunto coeso de práticas gerenciais que unificam diferentes planos de negócios (vendas, marketing, desenvolvimento de novos produtos, manufatura, compras e finanças) em um conjunto de planos integrados internamente e na cadeia de suprimentos, com a finalidade de criar valor e impacto no desempenho das empresas. Objetiva equilibrar oferta e demanda em nível de produtos e famílias de produtos, com um horizonte de planejamento que coincide com o ciclo de planejamento estratégico dos negócios. A eficiência do processo é medida e avaliada para melhoria continua. Compreende um conjunto coeso de práticas gerenciais, direcionado a incentivar o alinhamento horizontal (entre funções) e vertical (do plano de negócios a operações), na empresa e na cadeia de suprimentos. O objetivo da tese é duplo: proceder a uma revisão sistemática e abrangente da literatura em SeOP; avaliar o impacto dos processos e das práticas de SeOP no desempenho operacional da manufatura. A revisão bibliográfica sobre SeOP foi feita a partir das bases de dados eletrônicas EBSCO, Emerald e SCIENDIRECT. Ao todo 271 resumos e 55 textos completos foram revistos e classificados em um quadro conceitual de referência, que relaciona variáveis contextuais, de entrada (inputs), objetivos, estruturas e processos, resultados intermediários e resultados finais do SeOP. Foi constatada a ausência de sínteses anteriores da literatura sobre o tema e uma grande disparidade de conceitos e modelos de maturidade do SeOP, que impossibilitaram a análise estatística dos resultados publicados (meta-análise). Uma síntese sistematizada da literatura foi apresentada. Notou-se igualmente que existem poucos artigos científicos rigorosos que demonstrem o impacto das práticas de S&OP no desempenho das empresas. Ainda mais raros são os estudos empíricos baseados em teorias de gerência de operações. A verificação empírica do impacto das práticas de SeOP interno e de integração na cadeia de suprimentos com fornecedores e com clientes foi realizada com modelos de equações estruturais e de regressão múltipla passo a passo. A base de dados da Pesquisa Internacional de Estratégia da Manufatura (IMSS-V), reagrupando 725 empresas de 34 países foi utilizada na análise. A formulação dos modelos baseou-se na teoria de contingência estrutural. O efeito do SeOP (medido pelo coeficiente de regressão) no desempenho operacional da manufatura foi positivo e consistente para as dimensões da qualidade, flexibilidade e entregas, situando-se no intervalo entre 0,26 e 0,36. Contatou-se igualmente que a integração com fornecedores e as tecnologias de processo na manufatura são moderadoras do impacto no desempenho em todas as dimensões de desempenho e que a tecnologia de produtos modera o desempenho em termos de qualidade. Conclui-se que há uma necessidade de aprofundar a agenda de pesquisas com estudos empíricos baseados em teorias de gerência de operações na manufatura em diferentes contextos e indústrias, de estender e aprofundar a análise do SeOP na cadeia de suprimento, assim como de conduzir estudos de casos. A principal implicação prática do estudo resulta dos fatores contingenciais do impacto do SeOP no desempenho. A indústria ganharia a conduzir processos e práticas de SeOP de forma concomitante com a integração com fornecedores na cadeia de suprimento e a adoção de tecnologias de processo e de produtos que sejam adequadas ao ambiente no qual atua.
Sales and Operations Planning (SandOP) is a new and growing research field in Operations Management. The thesis intends to: (i) provide a comprehensive research synthesis of the extant literature on SandOP; and (ii) explore SandOP impact on manufacturing operational performance dimensions of quality, delivery and flexibility, informed by structural contingency theory. A synthesis framework was proposed. Due to disparate concepts and measurements, the field is not yet ripe for meta analysis. There is also a paucity of rigorous empirical research in the impact of SandOP on manufacturing operational performance, anchored in Operations Management theories. Data from 725 metal products and machinery manufacturers (ISIC 3.1, code 28-35) in 34 countries from the fifth round of the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey was used for hypotheses tests. Scales were validated with confirmatory factor analysis and analyzed with stepwise multiple regression. SandOP effect size on quality, delivery and flexibility was on the 0.26 - 0.36 range, after controlling for economic development, market dynamics and firm size. Supply Chain integration with suppliers and manufacturing process technology moderate SandOP impact on all three performance dimensions. Product technology moderates quality but not delivery or flexibility. Misfit of process technology, cross functional team work and product technology adversely affect performance. Practitioners should simultaneously pursue SandOP implementations, integration with suppliers and use of adequate technology to boost performance. Further research should focus on theory validation, case studies and survey research on SandOP.

Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is ranked as the top hospital in New England and second nation-wide. It is also the largest hospital in New England; it uses an average of 58 operating rooms, where approximately 150 surgical procedures are performed daily. Management of surgical supplies is a critical component of the processes supporting this infrastructure. Specifically, ensuring the right equipment and supplies are available at the right time is critical for the efficiency and quality outcomes of each of the procedures. The materials management group handles over 10,000 unique items, purchased from more than 400 vendors. The majority (60-70%) of disposable supplies are ordered through Owens & Minor, a medical and surgical supplies distributor. The supplies are stored in multiple locations throughout the hospital, including two central locations as well as carts and cabinets on the surgical floors and in the operating rooms. The work described in this thesis focuses on the inventory management of disposable surgical supplies, where the current system design has inefficiencies in the inventory levels and location of items. Using a data-driven approach, based on historical demand, we calculate base stock levels by item that maintain three days of inventory at a 99 percent service level. In addition, we suggest a methodology to support decisions on inventory locations of the different items. Implementation of the recommended changes is estimated to result in savings of 30-40% in inventory levels (and space), corresponding to a one time saving of $700,000-$900,000, depending on the implementation scenario. In addition, the reduction in inventory levels can be translated to future savings in inventory holding costs at an estimated 40% rate, leading to a saving of roughly $300,000 annually.

Abstract:
A hospital consists of a number of wards, units and departments that provide a variety of medical services and interact on a day-to-day basis. Nearly every department within a hospital schedules patients for the operating theatre (OT) and most wards receive patients from the OT following post-operative recovery. Because of the interrelationships between units, disruptions and cancellations within the OT can have a flow-on effect to the rest of the hospital. This often results in dissatisfied patients, nurses and doctors, escalating waiting lists, inefficient resource usage and undesirable waiting times. The objective of this study is to use Operational Research methodologies to enhance the performance of the operating theatre by improving elective patient planning using robust scheduling and improving the overall responsiveness to emergency patients by solving the disruption management and rescheduling problem. OT scheduling considers two types of patients: elective and emergency. Elective patients are selected from a waiting list and scheduled in advance based on resource availability and a set of objectives. This type of scheduling is referred to as ‘offline scheduling’. Disruptions to this schedule can occur for various reasons including variations in length of treatment, equipment restrictions or breakdown, unforeseen delays and the arrival of emergency patients, which may compete for resources. Emergency patients consist of acute patients requiring surgical intervention or in-patients whose conditions have deteriorated. These may or may not be urgent and are triaged accordingly. Most hospitals reserve theatres for emergency cases, but when these or other resources are unavailable, disruptions to the elective schedule result, such as delays in surgery start time, elective surgery cancellations or transfers to another institution. Scheduling of emergency patients and the handling of schedule disruptions is an ‘online’ process typically handled by OT staff. This means that decisions are made ‘on the spot’ in a ‘real-time’ environment. There are three key stages to this study: (1) Analyse the performance of the operating theatre department using simulation. Simulation is used as a decision support tool and involves changing system parameters and elective scheduling policies and observing the effect on the system’s performance measures; (2) Improve viability of elective schedules making offline schedules more robust to differences between expected treatment times and actual treatment times, using robust scheduling techniques. This will improve the access to care and the responsiveness to emergency patients; (3) Address the disruption management and rescheduling problem (which incorporates emergency arrivals) using innovative robust reactive scheduling techniques. The robust schedule will form the baseline schedule for the online robust reactive scheduling model.

Abstract:
Special Operations Forces (SOF) have assumed a unique and expanded role as a strategic asset of the United States. The conjunction of changing political and security environments and new technologies present both challenges and opportunities for SOF. Special Operations Forces provide the National Command Authority (NCA) a variety of unique capabilities and expanded options for achieving strategic goals at minimum costs. The recent drawdown has placed even more value on the capabilities and leverage provided by SOF. Additionally the rapid pace of technological change - the "information revolution" - has opened the door to a potential "Revolution in Military Affairs" (RMA). New approaches to warfare, like Information Operations (IO), are beginning to emerge from the RMA. Information operations, like SOF, can also provide a means to leverage limited resources. At the strategic level, SOF can provide support for IO; at the tactical level, IO can support of special operations (SO). Each has distinct implications for SOF. In either case, the object of the supporting operation is to generate or expand a window of opportunity for the supported operation. Separately, both SO and IO can provide economy of force. Properly employed, this leverage is multiplied and offers a tremendous strategic asset.

Abstract:
Combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq demonstrated that different types of military forces must be integrated to effectively counter evolving threats. Senior Army leaders have identified the need to retain the ability to effectively integrate conventional and special operations forces. Integration should not aim to combine forces to the point they are indistinguishable, but should maximize the effects of each forces unique capabilities. This thesis concludes that in the future, conventional and special operations forces integration should be addressed with the following tenets integration should be determined by the task, not the unit integrated operations require a dedicated staff at the joint task force level the supported/supporting command relationship is most appropriate and should be determined by task It also proposes a methodology that enables the identification of task interdependencies between conventional forces (CF) and special operations forces (SOF). Identifying these interdependencies informs staffs and commanders where integrated operations are best conducted. The design structure matrix, an approach used in the business and systems engineering sectors, provides a basis for the methodology. The goal of this campaign planning tool is cross-force synergy emerging from utilization of the unique capabilities of CF and SOF for maximum gains.

Abstract:
This thesis examines military performance in both urban and traditional non-urban environments. Cases used in this study are German operations on the Russian front, Israeli operations during the Yom Kippur War, and U.S. Marine operations in South Vietnam. This thesis establishes a framework for analysis consisting of six factors. These include environment, time, informational aspects of military operations, application of existing technology, intangible human factors, and the decisionmaking of both political and military leaders. Analysis of the three cases points to a number of common trends including, shortcomings when units enter in the urban environment. We note a lack of urban operations training, an increase in time to accomplish tasks, a resistance to operate at night, difficulty processing and communicating information, and micromanagement of city fighting by political and military leaders who typically refrain from such management during non-urban combat. Results of this study suggest a need to incorporate consideration of our six factors into current doctrine.

Abstract:
As of March 2010, Bluewater’s FPSO Munin has been operating on Dynamic Positioning (DP) in the South China Sea. The station keeping is performed by the vessel’s DP system only; no anchor leg mooring is used. Offloading from the FPSO is done to conventional (non-DP) shuttle tankers. See Fig. 1. This means that the DP system has to deal with a relatively large external force, and that the tandem has to respond appropriately to changing environmental conditions. To prepare for this operation, extensive FMEA proving trials have been performed prior to start-up of production. Furthermore a bridge simulation program has been conducted in which the offloading operations have been trained. From the FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) proving trials, the offloading simulations and operational experience, a lot of knowledge has been gained on this specific DP operation. This knowledge is not only applicable to this single operation, but can also be used to enhance many other DP operations. This paper describes the Munin’s unique DP operations and the lessons learned from the FMEA proving trials, the offloading simulation program and operations in the field.

Full text
Abstract:
Scour is an imminent threat for jack-up operations in shallow waters with sandy seabed conditions, strong tidal currents and/or a harsh wave climate, such as the North Sea. Jack-up operations in scour-sensitive areas require jack-up operators to evaluate the risk of scour and to adapt a scour management strategy in order to safeguard against foundation failure. Jack-up deployments are characteristically short term operations. This can be in the range of one day (construction project jack-ups) to several months (drilling units). Often, the strategy is to monitor scour and take remedial measures if and when required. An operational scour forecast and hindcast system was developed in order to assist jack-up operators with their management of scour. The system is based on automated importing and processing of metocean data (water levels, waves and currents) from operational metocean models or measurement stations and calculating forecasts for the temporal scour development with semi-empirical relations, derived from physical model tests for various types of foundations. During an operation, the results provide the basis for a periodic assessment whether, how much and where scour protection is required and when surveys should be performed. After an operation, the hindcast results serve as calibration for the scour prediction model and as evaluation of the scour management strategy. This paper presents two case studies for which the system was applied in the southern North Sea. In the first case study, the system was used to forecast scour around unprotected spudcans. A few weeks into the drilling operation, the operator decided to apply scour protection based on the warning that the predicted scour depth was reaching a critical value. A field survey performed after the scour protection installation confirmed that the predicted scour depth had been in line with the measured scour depth. The second case study comprised a drilling operation before which scour protection had been installed. The main objective of the system was to predict the stability of the scour protection and provide recommendations for scour protection maintenance and scheduling of scour inspection surveys. The field survey performed after the main storm event revealed that the predicted scour depth had been overestimated. A hindcast was performed to calibrate the scour model for future operations. It was concluded that the improved scour forecast system is an important milestone for scour management and contributes to improved safety in future jack-up operations.

"Online Flow Assurance Tool for Optimum Wax Management at Field." In SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition. SPE, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/210281-ms.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Traditionally, a field’s wax management and operating philosophy have been developed by conducting a rigorous Flow Assurance (FA) study. Optimization at field level warrants the study to be updated from time to time to reflect the actual field performance. This accounts for overall field performance but does not incorporate variations due to operational changes. Rather, the operating philosophy is based on representative scenarios where conservative measures are often used to safeguard operations. With the increasing number of waxy crude oil pipelines within company that demands immediate attention, an online prediction/monitoring tool that quickly adapts to operational changes is one important enabler, not only to optimize operations and address the huge Operating Expenses (OPEX), but also to address remote/unmanned operation’s requirement especially for subsea operation. Unfortunately, to date, such a tool is not commercially available or deployed widely. To address this gap, this paper aims to present the Online Wax Smart Meter development concept and to showcase the performance of an online wax monitoring tool which enables fast and optimum wax management.

Abstract:
This report summarizes the results of the Office of Evaluation and Oversight's (OVE) annual validation of the self-assessments of project performance and results completed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and IDB Invest in 2019-2020. The IDB and IDB Invest have systems in place to measure the development effectiveness of their operations. These systems use a number of instruments to assess projects at the design, implementation, and completion phases. The design-phase assessment uses a “Development Effectiveness Matrix” (DEM) for sovereign guaranteed (SG) operations. The effectiveness of non-sovereign guaranteed (NSG) operations is measured with a “Development Effectiveness Learning, Tracking, and Assessment tool” (DELTA). Implementation-phase assessments measure SG operations with “Project Monitoring Reports,” while NSG operations are assessed with “Project Supervision Reports.” Upon completion, SG projects are self-evaluated with “Project Completion Reports,” or PCRs. NSG operations, use “Expanded Supervision Reports,” or XSRs when they reach early operation maturity (EOM). OVE validates Managements self-evaluations (PCRs and XSRs) and assigns a final project performance rating to each operation. As part of the 2020 validation cycle, OVE reviewed PCRs for 63 operations, 62 with operational closure (CO fully justified) in 2018 and one in 2013. XSRs were reviewed for 36 IDB Invest operations that had reached early operating maturity (EOM) in 2018.
