Thames Water Implement j5 Operations Management Software Across Water Control

j5 International, a leading provider of Operations Management Software, have written a Case Study with the UK’s largest Water company – Thames Water – who are using the j5 Operations Logbookj5 Shift Handoverj5 Work Instructionsj5 Standing Orders and IndustraForm® applications at their Kemble Court Operations Management Centre.

Thames Water were using inconsistent time-consuming tools in the Operations Control Centre and their Shift Handover process; increasing organizational risk and inefficiencies, such as:

  • Spreadsheets
  • Paper
  • Word Processor Documents
  • Verbal Only Meetings

To solve this problem, Thames Water decided to commission an E-Logging project to provide greater visibility, retrieval and audibility of Water Control information.  Thames Water evaluated several E-Logging solutions in the marketplace and selected j5 International as their preferred vendor.  The j5 Operations Bundle (j5 Operations Logbookj5 Shift Handoverj5 Work Instructionsj5 Standing Orders) and IndustraForm® was selected to fulfil Thames Water’s E-Logging requirements.  The j5 Operations Bundle is used to log crucial routine information and provides an effective and informative Shift Handover, which facilitates the sharing of relevant information with operational teams.  The structured escalation process within j5 also benefits Thames Water customers, with emerging risks tackled quicker; reducing the risk and severity of events.  Additionally, a custom module for the handling of Events was created to support the work of the Duty Managers.

The implementation of j5 across the Water Control function has given greater visibility of
on-going issues and given us a consistent and accountable handover tool.

The release of j5 2017.2 has brought exciting new features to j5 Operations Management Software, including j5 IndustraForm® Mobile.

j5 Mobile users can view and edit the same IndustraForm® options that are available on desktop computers.  All the benefits of IndustraForm® technology are available on the mobile device, including workflows, approvals, advanced calculations, data validation, and more.  These can easily be customized to suit an organization using the spreadsheet-like j5 IndustraForm® Designer application.  As a result, desktop and mobile applications are now in sync and there are no advanced source code programming skills required to modify or add new mobile applications – such as j5 Shift Handover forms – to the j5 Framework.  IndustraForm® applications on j5 Mobile allow for the viewing and editing of any IndustraForm®.  For example, the Permit and Certificate applications in j5 Permit to Work have been built using IndustraForm® technology, allowing the permit process to continue out in the field without requiring staff to regularly return to the control room.

The release of j5 2017.2 has brought exciting new features to j5 Operations Management Software, including j5 Permit to Work (Mobile Extension).

j5 Permit to Work brings mobility to the Permit and Certificate applications, allowing the permit process to continue out in the field without requiring staff to regularly return to the control room. Combined with IndustraForm® technology, this provides a powerful and flexible mobile Permit to Work solution, putting organisations in control of their processes without requiring costly customisations from a vendor.  The same flexible IndustraForm® applications are used on desktop computers and the mobile devices.  When using the j5 Mobile application, any permits and certificates created on a desktop computer can be synced to the mobile device.  From there users can view permit details, review and record isolations, edit values, perform and receive approvals, and more, all without needing to return to a control room to manually enter data.  This reduces the risk of data entry errors, and reduces process overheads by avoiding unnecessary staff movements.
