While working for WWP/Avista in 1989, John audited the damage
reporting systems, where others have damaged electric and gas facilities of the company. It was found that over 50% of all cases were not reported, due to complicated incident forms, and follow up. John worked with operations personnel to re-design the reporting forms, both gas & electric, and eliminated 10 of the 12 crew forms required. Reporting and follow up improved immediately, and collections rose from $200,000 per year to over $800,000 in 5 years. |
