All current business management trends and techniques are aimed at improving the efficiency of personnel management. Traditionally, the main indicators of staff performance assessment are those of workforce productivity. According to labor productivity, Russia ranks 36th. This situation is caused by many factors, including poor management functions in the organization of staff work, i.e. planning, organization, motivation, and control. The research involved monitoring ordinary employees in situations when their managers had questions related to low productivity. Despite the digitalization of all economic sectors, the motion study still remains an objective and reliable tool that helps to understand work organization, as well as to explain low productivity and poor time utilization. The research objective was to analyze the results of the motion study conducted in two organizations, a self-regulatory construction firm and a large food production company. The authors analyzed the time management of the employees by using the motion study method. Therefore, the article presents the results of two projects implemented in different scale and industry organizations to identify the loss of working time and the causes of low productivity. They showed that the main cause of low efficiency, regardless of the size of the business, remains the poor management, especially planning and control.

In this paper, Sumit Majumdar analyses the patterns of utilization of various key resources — production staff, administrative staff, physical capital, and working capital — in the Indian indus try between the period 1950-51 and 1992-93. The ratio of optimal to actual input usage is calculated for the four key resource inputs. It is found that Indian industry was relatively efficient in the 1950s, but efficiency had plummeted in the 1960s and 1970s relative to the 1950s. The regression of industrial performance in the 1960s and 1970s was reversed in the 1980s. However, in the 1990s, the Indian industry has merely caught up with a performance level once attained in the 1950s and no dynamic progress in its performance over time is noted.

Delineate the main trends in the formation of staff capacity of the industry and determine the degree of its influence on the efficiency of the system itself as a whole. Methodology. Methods of logical and comparative analysis of intergovernmental regulation practices in the format of interaction «department - healthcare institutions». Results. After analyzing the staffing policy of the Voronezh Region Health Department and the mortality rate in the region for 2020, we identified an inadequate staffing of health care institutions, which affects the improvement in the quality of medical services and the mortality rate. Application area. Sphere of staffing of the Voronezh Region. Conclusions. In 2020, healthcare institutions of the Russian Federation faced a serious threat to public health, namely the COVID-19 pandemic, which in turn determined the parameters of the roadmap for the development of the industry for the coming years and identified the main problem areas. There is traced the dependence of the decrease in the staffing level, depending on the distance of the MO from the regional center. The number of certified specialists, both doctors and paramedics, is at an insufficiently high level, which ultimately affects the quality of medical care and the mortality rate in the Voronezh region.

148 Background: Providers in oncology must optimize time to serve as many patients as possible daily with the caveat that patient outcomes and satisfaction is paramount. However, a paucity of tools are available to evaluate efficiency. An objective analysis of productivity and patient flow would optimize staff utilization, resulting in an increase in quality and economics of patient care. Methods: Patient flow in a supportive care clinic was recorded manually to delineate patient flow and staff productivity. This method provided baseline data for analysis. An iOS app was then created which can be adjusted to gather data and measure the flow in the clinic prompting patients to complete a questionnaire in the waiting room. The application stores the weather and driving distances to determine how these possibly correlate with efficiency. Additional data points were identified to trend staffing schedules and patient flow. Data inputs include diseases, characteristics, family dynamics and other clinical demographics for analysis and deliverables received. Results: The application generates reports for any variable collected, with a predefined daily report to compute the total relative value units (RVU) of the visit, the total cost and RVUs distribution by provider and/or staff. A percent profit or loss illustrates “value” created by individual objects and staff. The application interprets changes in efficiency over time. In the preliminary results we found direct intervention with the patient and record taking to be the primary deterrent to efficiency and having adequate oncology nursing staffing was most conducive with physician wait times varying significantly with changes in oncology staffing. Conclusions: This tool is unique in producing a cost-effective tool to evaluate daily patient flow and staff utilization. It has future applicability in dynamic analysis of how symptom burden and barriers to care in cancer patients effects the economics of a supportive care clinic. This production of real time information will provide data to improve efficiency, outcomes of care. We plan a pilot study in the supportive care clinic to further evaluate this tool and its benefit to optimizing flow, and enhance cost-effective, patient-centered allocation of resources in supportive care.

Efficiency on service delivery is about those with authority being answerable for their actions to the citizens, whether directly or indirectly, and managerial efficiency on service delivery is about making those with delegated authority answerable for carrying out agreed tasks according to agreed criteria of performance. The interest in efficiency on service delivery within public sector reform is a desire to make public sector staff more accountable for their decisions and actions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of public resource utilization on the efficiency of service delivery of the county government of Machakos. Specifically, the study sought to: establish the effect of equitable share utilization on the efficiency of service delivery of Machakos County Government, Kenya, determine the effect of own source revenue utilization on the efficiency of service delivery of Machakos County Government, Kenya, to assess the effect of donor funding utilization on the efficiency of service delivery of Machakos County Government, Kenya and investigate the effect of conditional grants utilization on the efficiency of service delivery of Machakos County Government, Kenya. The study additionally sought to determine the moderating effect of county service delivery principles on the relationship between public resource utilization and efficiency of service delivery of the county government of Machakos. The study was informed by Public Choice Theory of Budget, The resource-based view theory and the Rostow-Musgrave Model. The study adopted a descriptive research design and targeted all the employees of Machakos County totaling to 1,950. The study used a simple random sampling of 10% of the total population yielding 195 respondents as the sample size. The study used both primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaire, while secondary data gathered using data collection sheet. The collected data was analyzed with the aid of SPSS using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study used Pearson correlation to show the association between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The results were presented in tables, charts and bars. It was established from the findings that; money set by national government wasn’t used effectively for the current expenditure and that the county government was striving to collect and prudently utilized it’s owned collected revenue. External donors were observed as the leading source of income for development and that the county rarely received the equalization funds disbursed on an annual basis. The study recommends that the central government should monitor and evaluate the utilization of funds and disburse equalization funds timely. The county government on the other hand should uphold integrity in the utilization if funds and seek to generate more funds locally. Keywords: Public resource utilization, equitable share utilization, County own source revenue utilization, Donor funding utilization, Conditional grants utilization, Efficiency of service delivery, County service delivery principles

This paper compares a homogeneous group of countries in terms of capacity and technology, where we picked income as indicator for capacity and technology. We study the case of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. We apply radical data envelopment analysis to 36 middle income countries where we calculate constant returns to scale technical efficiency and variable returns to scale technical efficiency to show the health care sector efficiency in Jordan. Using different factors for input first we studied healthcare expenditure per capita then as percent of GDP and public expenditure as percent of GDP and private as percent of GDP, and last was the number of beds per 1000 population and physicians per 1000 population all to the same output life expectancy. The results show that there is inefficiency in health care expenditure. The inefficiency mainly is shown by two major findings, first the lack of utilization of resources. Secondly, the public-sector inefficiency. The output is justifiable for many challenges faced the health sector in the year of the study one of which is the Syrian refuges crisis. We shed light on factors causing the inefficiency where modifications could yield substantial efficiency gains. As for the mix between public and private sectors and the quality and utilization and distribution of the real resources, nevertheless adding health economists to the management staff for there is a managerial inefficiency.

84 Background: The Woodlands RCC opened the Ambulatory Treatment Center in September 2010. The center houses 14 infusion units. Within 1 year, the demand for its infusion therapy services had more than doubled with continued rapid growth expected. The perception was that more patients could not be accommodated without additional space and staff. Therefore, a performance improvement team was formed in August 2011 with the goal to increase operational efficiency to satisfy patient demand, while maintaining the highest level of quality care. The increased access for patients allows for treatment to start sooner. Methods: The six sigma Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control methodology was used to manage the project, and several lean and six sigma tools were utilized. The project commenced with a project charter with a measureable AIM statement to increase infusion volumes from 1.7 to 2.4 patients/unit per 9 hour day. Historical data was extracted, and all patients’ movements were timed for 3 weeks. Benchmarking, observations, and process mapping were also performed. Baseline performance was measured using SPC charts. Sources of variation were uncovered using statistical quality tools, brainstorming techniques, and cause/effect analysis. Key interventions consisted of standardized scheduling practices, development of a scheduling template, creation of a fast track room, new processes for overbooks and preschedules, and work balancing of nursing staff using an acuity rating system. In addition, staff workload was redistributed, and the lab was reorganized. Results: Within 3 months, the center met targeted capacity and provided regional care access to 41% more patients without additional staff, space, or working hours. By March 2012, the center accommodated 67% more patients (2.9/unit or 40/day) without adversely affecting patient wait time. Infusion room utilization increased by 15%. Conclusions: Although space constrained, The Woodlands RCC was presented with the challenge to provide patients’ open access to infusion therapy services. The team successfully applied lean and six sigma principles to evaluate the current state, perform a gap analysis, and deploy interventions to support quality and operate more efficiently.

Abstract Abstract 5151 Patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) may require intravenous (IV) iron supplementation in an outpatient hematology setting. Such infusions require multiple visits and several hours of patient time. Ferumoxytol (Feraheme®) Injection is a novel IV iron approved for IDA in patients with reduced kidney function (CKD stages 1–5). Ferumoxytol requires fewer visits and fewer hours per treatment than other IV iron treatments. For instance, iron sucrose is generally given to nondialysis CKD patients in 200 mg doses given in five separate 1 hour infusions while ferumoxytol may be given in 510 mg doses given as a rapid injection in 2 visits. The objective of this analysis was to understand the impact of increased ferumoxytol utilization on patient, staff and financial efficiency metrics for an outpatient infusion clinic. Data on IV iron and other procedure mix, payer mix, length of clinic visit, medication and administration costs, and treatment revenue were collected from hospital financial data, staff interviews and pharmacy records for the 10-chair outpatient infusion clinic of a 325-bed academically-affiliated, non-profit hospital from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2010. Cost of medication and administration used in each procedure came from the hospital's cost accounting system, revenue was captured as the amounts reimbursed by payers and margin was calculated as the difference between costs and revenue. Cost, revenue, margin and chair time required per IV iron treatment were analyzed for each year and estimated for 2011 utilization. Per hour efficiency metrics were calculated as the total revenue divided by total hours for each procedure. Revenue and margin per hour for the clinic's other administered therapies were also analyzed and modeled to quantify the projected financial impact of allocating freed IV iron chair time to these therapies. The clinic estimates that 80% of patients receiving IV iron treatment have reduced kidney function. Ferumoxytol treatment became available in 2009 and its share of the clinic's administered IV iron increased from 0% in 2008, to 25% in 2009, and to 42% in 2010. From 2008 to 2010, the clinic's use of iron sucrose dropped from 12% to 4%, sodium ferric gluconate decreased from 65% to 5% and iron dextran increased from 23% to 49%. The clinic forecasts that ferumoxytol will represent 60% (in 75% of ferumoxytol-eligible patients) of all IV iron administered in 2011. Because ferumoxytol requires 30 minutes per visit vs. 1.5 to 4.5 hours for other IV iron treatments, the average number of patient hours required to infuse a gram of IV iron in the clinic dropped 80% from 9.6 hours in 2008 to 1.9 hours in 2010. Furthermore, our study estimates that the clinic saved 282 hours of chair time in 2009 and the first half of 2010, and will save an additional 23 hours in 2011 by further increasing ferumoxytol utilization. Staff interviews suggested that ferumoxytol IV iron procedures were associated with improved clinic efficiencies such as reduced pharmacy preparation time (10-15 minutes less time) and improved availability of high demand equipment such as IV smart pumps. While total IV iron medication cost increased from 2008 to 2010, decreased chair time resulted in increased revenue per hour for IV iron medication (542%) and IV iron administration (153%). IV iron medication and administration margins per hour also increased (370% and 571%, respectively), moving the clinic's overall IV iron treatment margin per hour in line with their higher margin therapeutics, such as chemotherapy agents, erythropoietin, and monoclonal antibodies. By 2011, the clinic will have increased IV iron medication and administration revenue per hour by 858% and 195%, respectively over 2008 figures, and margins per hour by 588% and 753%, respectively, over 2008 figures. Given the clinic's average revenue and margin per hour for the current mix of other (non-IV iron) infusion therapies, reallocation of freed chair hours to other infusion therapies represents an additional clinic revenue and margin opportunity of $191,669 and $18,670, respectively. In conclusion, increasing use of ferumoxytol in an outpatient infusion clinic was associated with patient, staff and clinic efficiencies including fewer IV iron patient visits, decreased IV iron procedure time, the opportunity for increased clinic throughput and a substantial increase in overall IV iron revenue and margin per hour.

Taiwan has implemented the National Health Insurance Scheme and commencing the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) changed the payment system to a global budget, but due to budget constraints, medical and health care institutes faced tremendous financial difficulties and as a result, have to drastically cut down the establishment of health care professionals. Compounded with an imbalance of the overall supply and demand of medical health care professionals, and the extreme workload placed upon medical staff but who were not suitably remunerated, the deployment and utilization of human resources became a central issue faced by all medical units. The purpose of this research was based on the under a reduction of human resources, to safeguard patients’ rights, to enhance the operating efficiency and to minimize the pressure upon medical staff. This is a descriptive research using the examples of two large hospitals in central Taiwan. One of which is a medical center while the other is the obstetrics department puerpera of a metropolitan hospital, to study the deployment of human resources under a 3-shifts system against the rate of admission and discharge of patients. The research was collected from the obstetrics and gynecology department of the two hospitals during the period 1 January and 31 December of 2008. Medical center collected data of 1175 pregnancy, while 743 data sets were collected from metropolitan hospital. Upon analysis, it was found that the peak birth delivery period each day was during 8:00 am until about 1:00-2:00 pm, and another peak occurred between 10 pm and 2 am at night. The conclusion was based on the analysis, birth delivery rate during the midnight hours were substantial as it represented about one-fifth of the total births. However, during these late night period, staffing resources were minimum and staff fatigue was also an influencing factor. Consequently, it is necessary to develop an appropriate human resources policy and a workable plan to adjust staff deployment accordingly in order to alleviate the stress upon medical professionals and to relieve the tension between medical staff and patients.

This chapter examines a paradox of GroupCare Hospital's palliative care program. On the one hand, GroupCare created a space for intimacy, honesty, and personal connection that has become exceedingly rare in the U.S. medical system. On the other hand, GroupCare considered the palliative care program to be consistent with its goal of “appropriate utilization” and likely would not have invested such resources in the program had it not been seen as economically efficient. This chapter shows that the staff at GroupCare tended to believe that through evidence-based medicine, technical savvy, and systems integration, it could make the mission of health care and the market for health care consistent with and supportive of one another. It also considers how GroupCare seemed to have succeeded in taming the market for hospital care and aligning the health of its membership with the economic interests of the organization and the practitioners within it.

The aim of the present study is to develop a model for the integration of lean thinking into the corporate loan process with a special focus on the utilization of the value stream mapping technique. In line with this aim the study proposes a three-legged model specifically for the corporate loan processes of banks in Turkey as a developing country pursuing to integrate into the global financial world. The three dimensions included in the model are operational dimension, staff dimension and customer experience dimension. The study argues that by applying the proposed model based on the lean six sigma approach, banks can achieve and sustain a high level of improvement that would increase speed, value creation, cost-efficiency, profitability and customer satisfaction and reduce waste, processing time and effort, duplication and prolonging of transactions, redundancies, risks and errors in the whole corporate loan process.

The United States’ Institute of Medicine established patient-centered care as an aim for the 21st-century health care system. Patient-centered care focuses on the patient, their family members and staff experience, while ensuring patient safety and high clinical quality. A medical center in the Veterans Affairs healthcare system approached the Veterans Affairs Center for Applied Systems Engineering to assist in the redesign of the facility that provides medical cancer care. Their goals were to design a patient-centered, state-of-the-art center. Discrete event simulation provided rough order of magnitude estimates for facility and resource planning. Primary metrics of concern were patient length of stay, patient wait time, and room and staff utilization. The simulation included an animated visualization of ‘a day in the life’ of a patient. It also collected metrics on patient experience and center efficiency. Watching the patient flow animation provided two primary insights to the stakeholders. First, it was evident that the patient care process was patient-centered in that it limited patient movement. Second, observations of traffic flow indicated that the design can accommodate the desired patient demand. The visualization showed that increasing the number of providers resulted in reductions in patient wait times and that reducing the number of exam rooms did not significantly affect patient wait time. This exercise demonstrated the value of simulation in the planning and analysis of facility configurations when considering patient-centered design.

This paper aims to provide a first evaluation of the University of Bedfordshire Business School’s innovative attempt to develop a new suite of Masters Programmes that delivers in terms of academic rigor and employability requirements while providing a rich student learning experience. The new delivery is based on a block delivery model that rationalises the previous offerings by providing a smaller range of standardized large units which are more tightly integrated to each other and are part of courses with particular characteristics such as a four-tier induction system (with inductions being progressively more employability-focused as students’ progress from one unit to the next) and the final capstone unit where students have a choice between a traditional dissertation and an experiential final project. That common architecture is coupled with a flipped classroom delivery style, utilization of blended learning and rich peer-to-peer learning opportunities with multiple entry points providing additional students into the cohorts for each unit. Preliminary data is provided here as an early evaluation of the approach’s effectiveness and efficiency in terms of the delivery experience, the assessment strategies, the levels of student engagement and performance, as well as the experience of staff and students.

The network is very important to the normal operation of all aspects of society and economy, and the memory leak of network device is a software failure that seriously damages the stability of the system. Some common memory checking tools are not suitable for network devices that are running online, so the operation staff can only constantly monitor the memory usage and infer from experience, which has been proved to be inefficient and unreliable. In this paper we proposed a novel memory leak detection method for network devices based on Machine learning. It first eliminates the impact of large-scale resource table entries on the memory utilization. Then, by analyzing its monotonicity and computing the correlation coefficient with the memory leak sequence sets pre constructed by simulation, the memory leak fault can be found in time. The simulation experiments show that the scheme is computationally efficient and the precision rate is close to 100%, it works well in the actual network environment, and has excellent performance.

The analysis of different energy systems has shown various sources of variability and uncertainty; hence the necessity to quantify and take these into account is becoming more and more important. In this paper, a steady state, off-design model of a solid oxide fuel cell and turbocharger hybrid system with recuperator has been developed. Performances of such stiff systems are affected significantly by uncertainties both in component performance and operating parameters. This work started with the application of Monte Carlo Simulation method, as a reference sampling method, and then compared it with two different approximated methods. The first one is the Response Sensitivity Analysis, based on Taylor series expansion, and the latter is the Polynomial Chaos, based on a linear combination of different polynomials. These are non-intrusive methods, thus the model is treated as a black-box, with the uncertainty propagation method staying at an upper level. The work is focused on the application on highly non-linear complex systems, such as the hybrid systems, without any optimization process included. Hence, only the uncertainty propagation is considered. Uncertainties in the fuel utilization, ohmic resistance of the fuel cell, and efficiency of the recuperator are taken into account. In particular, their effects on fuel cell lifetime and some simple economic parameters are evaluated. The analysis distinguishes the specific features of each approach and identifies the strongest influencing inputs to the monitored output. Both approximated methods allow an important reduction in the number of evaluations while maintaining a good accuracy compared to Monte Carlo Simulation.

The agricultural operations in India are suffering from a serious problem of shortage of electrical power on one side and economic and effective disposal of agriwaste stuff on the other. India being agriculture based country, 70% of its main income (share in GDP) comes from agriculture sector. Any enhancement of income from this sector is based upon adequate supply of basic inputs in this sector. Regular and adequate power supply is one such input. But, the position of power supply in our country defies both these characteristics. With a major portion of power produced being sent to the industrial and urban consumers, there is a perennial shortage of power in the agriculture sector. Consequently, there is an emergent need to produce more power in order to fulfil the needs of this sector effectively. One way of accomplishing this is setting up captive, preferably rural based, small power generation plants. In these power plants, instead of water-head, diesel oil or coal, we can use agri-residue to produce electricity. One such power plant (1–2 MW capacity) can satisfy the power need of 25 to 40 nearby villages. The agriwaste like rice straw, sugarcane-trash, coir-pith, peanut shells, wheat stalks & straw, cottonseed, stalks and husk, soyabean stalks, maize stalks & cobs, sorghum. Bagasse, wallnut shells, sunflower seeds, shells, hulls and kernels and coconut husk, wastewood and saw dust can be fruitfully utilized in power generation. This stuff is otherwise a waste and liability and consumes a lot of effort on its disposal; in addition to being a fire and health hazard. Agriwaste stuff which at present is available in abundance and prospects of its utilization in producing energy are enormous. This material can be procured at reasonably low rates from the farmers who will thus be benefited economically, apart from being relieved of the responsibility of its disposal. Agri-residue has traditionally been a major source of heat energy in rural areas in India. It is a valuable fuel even in the sub-urban areas. Inspite of rapid increase in the supply of, access lo and use of fossil fuels, agri-residue is likely to continue to play an important role, in the foreseeable future. Therefore, developing and promoting techno-economically-viable technologies to utilize agri-residue efficiently should be a persuit of high priority. Though there is no authentic data available with regard to the exact quantity of agricultural and agro-industrial residues, its rough estimate has been put at about 350 mt per annum. It is also estimated that the total cattle refuse generated is nearly 250 mt per year. Further, nearly 20% of the total land is under forest cover, which produces approximately 50 mt of fuel wood and with associated forest waste of about 5 mt.(1). Taking into account the utilization of even a portion (say 30%) of this agri-residue & agro-industrial waste as well as energy plantation on one million hectare (mha) of wastelands for power generation through bioenergy technologies, a potential of some 18000 MW of power has been estimated. From the foregoing, it is clear that there is an enormous untapped potential for energy generation from agri-residue. What is required is an immediate and urgent intensification of dedicated efforts in this field, with a view to bringing down the unit energy cost and improving efficiency and reliability of agri-waste production, conversion and utilisation, leading to subsequent saving of fossil fuels for other pressing applications. The new initiatives in national energy policy are most urgently needed to accelerate the social and economic development of the rural areas. It demands a substantial increase in production and consumption of energy for productive purposes. Such initiatives are vital for promoting the goals of sustainability. cleaner production and reduction of long-term risks of environmental pollution and consequent adverse climatic changes in future. A much needed significant social, economic and industrial development has yet to take place in large parts of rural India; be it North, West, East or South. It can be well appreciated that a conscious management of agri-residue, which is otherwise a serious liability of the farmer, through its economic conversion into electric power can offer a reasonably viable solution to our developmental needs. This vision will have to be converted into a reality within a decade or so through dedicated and planned R&D work in this area. There is a shimmering promise that the whole process of harvesting, collection, transport and economic processing and utilisation of agri-waste can be made technically and economically more viable in future. Thus, the foregoing paras amply highlight the value of agri-residue as a prospective source of electric power, particularly for supplementing the main grid during the lean supply periods or peak load hours and also for serving the remote areas in the form of stand-alone units giving a boost to decentralised power supply. This approach and option seems to be positive in view of its potential contribution to our economic and social development. No doubt, this initiative needs to be backed and perused rigorously for removing regional imbalances as well as strengthening National economy. This paper reviews the current situation with regards to generation of agriwaste and its prospects of economic conversion into electrical power, technologies presently available for this purpose, and the problems faced in such efforts. It emphasizes the need for an integrated approach to devise ways and means for generating electrical power from agriwaste; keeping in mind the requirements of cleaner production and environmental protection so that the initiative leads to a total solution.

Abstract Mexico has set challenging oil and gas production to meet worldwide demand. In order to deliver promised oil production outputs in this challenging environment, the operator came up with efficient partnerships with key service providers to leverage resources and technical know-how whilst encouraging knowledge transfer and drilling project cost reduction. By working with various service companies, the operator creates a competitive environment where each strives to outperform the other. One such success case is in the "S" field, a heavy oil field producing via steam injection in the South of Mexico. Utilizing a creative design and execution methodology, the "S" project team succeeded to deliver improved project performance over the course of drilling the 14 wells in the campaign. The average well operational time was successfully reduced by 10%, hence maximizing the well construction index to 122 m/day and reducing overall well costs. The main strategy to optimize performance is to re-engineer solutions for profitability such as performing a study to replace OBM by WBM, designing a new wellhead system, collaborating with the rig contractor to reduce flat time activities, redesigning cement properties for losses mitigation, improvement of ROP by merging new technologies and local practices, among others. Complementary to this, the strategy is to prioritize realistic areas of improvement by the development and utilization of a new tool called Best of the Best (BoB), a methodology breaking down all well activities in order to measure its fastest time per well and then aiming to achieve that aggressive goal. Detailed follow up in the field allows to reduce operational times by allowing the wellsite team monitor and suggest new and improved ways of doing a routine task all of which result in lower costs per foot. Utilizing this BoB approach and stringent performance monitoring while drilling (pre-actual-post) activity analysis, allowed superior performance to be achieved. The project reached a 60% improvement on well times from the first well drilled to the best performing well. The best well was drilled in 8.68 days versus a field average of 18 days (217 m/day construction index). This generated 369,000 bbls of earlier oil production, 176 days ahead vs client expectations. Furthermore, in coordination with field staff, lessons learned were captured. But this is not enough since fast and effective communication is required, and the BoB methodology provides the solution to share optimization tricks quickly and effectively between crews, to continue well to well improvement and overall project and field level learning. Improved well delivery results is possible only by aligning the detailed planning and execution follow up in both the wellsite and a remote operations centre which monitored drilling activity in real time from town. This synergy and proactive communication system is also a key factor in the project delivery. This paper will present the results from the first application of the ‘Best of Best' (BoB) methodology in Mexico. This successful application enforces the idea that by coupling re-engineering practices to develop a more creative well design along with stringent performance monitoring; any field performance can be improved to deliver stellar results.
