How to Manage Employees in Nuclear Outage Work

Did you know a lack of sleep causes similar impairments to drinking alcohol? According to the CDC, being awake for 24 hours is comparable to a BAC of 0.10%. In nuclear outage mode, maintaining strict employee operating conditions is crucial. Integrating these conditions into your scheduling platform is vital to a smooth operation. Stay compliant. Get Indeavor. Watch this.

Managing a nuclear power plant’s online and outage states is critical to its successful operation, but can be complex and challenging, especially when it comes to managing the workforce. That’s where Indeavor comes in. Indeavor is a company that specializes in providing unique workforce management capabilities in the nuclear industry.

One thing that excited me about joining Indeavor is our focus on providing fatigue management at the point of scheduling.  But something else that excites me is our ability to easily transition from outage to online mode back and forth within our scheduling tool. One of the main challenges of managing a nuclear plant’s schedule transition from online to outage mode is complying with employee operator conditions.

Indeavor’s software solution can manage this transition efficiently, ensuring compliance with the appropriate rules and regulations, which can be complex and burdensome. Legacy systems have struggled to keep up with the unique demands of the nuclear industry. These systems are often outdated, inflexible, and lack the necessary functionality to manage the transition from online to outage mode.

Additionally, I would say many of them are antiquated and are unimpressive, frankly, to younger employees who you’re trying to attract and retain and who are used to things being done smoothly on an app. Indeavor’s software solution is tailored to the nuclear industry and can seamlessly manage this transition from online to outage.

The software includes an attributes tab that can be used to mark employees as online or outage, allowing for efficient management of the workforce. For example, if an outage is scheduled for a certain period of time, but finishes early, our software can be used to switch employees back to online mode right away for the remaining days, recalculating all constraints and ensuring compliance with applicable rules and regulations.

In addition to these benefits, Indeavor’s software solution also offers advanced scheduling and reporting capabilities that legacy systems simply can’t match. The software can automatically generate shift schedules. Assign tasks and track progress, allowing managers to easily monitor the status of the workforce and to make adjustments as needed. 

By using Indeavor’s software solution, nuclear companies can efficiently manage the transition from online to outage, fly with rules and regs more easily, and manage their workforce more efficiently. Unlike legacy systems, Indeavor’s solution is designed specifically for the nuclear industry and offers advanced functionality that significantly can improve a plant’s overall efficiency and reduce downtime.

If you’re looking for a workforce management solution that’s specifically tailored to the needs of the nuclear industry, I highly recommend choosing Indeavor.
