PHD: PERFORMANCE
STANDARDIZATION FOR
SUSTAINABILITY IN
COMPLEX PRODUCTION
NETWORKS
BY JAKOB E. BEER – IN PROGRESS
(2011-2014)
DESCRIPTION:
While many approaches exist to measure sustainability within the boundaries of individual organizations, there is no common reference that takes into account the realities of today’s complex business environment with various interlinked actors. A comprehensive approach needs to consider stakeholder relations and objective alignment in order to create the basis for common sustainability measurement.
In cooperation with several other European research institutions, this project aims at the creation of a framework that supports and facilitates the measurement and standardization of sustainability performance as well as its comparability among organizations.

PHD: HUMAN TECHNOLOGY
AND ORGANIZATIONAL
ISSUES
BY HAFTAY H. ABRAHA – IN
PROGRESS (2011-2014)
DESCRIPTION:
As industrial assets are exposed to new challenges, they are more inclined to use more advanced technologies and operational solutions to overcome business risks. An important issue that matters for fail-safe, error-free, and secure performance in such technology-based complex operating environments is the integration of human and organizational issues as an embedded part of the solution development and implementation processes.
Even though this is a common understanding, different organizations attempt to approach this issue from different perspectives. This is largely conditioned by various attributes ranging from long-term development plans to technology strategies and costs involved. It is of importance from R&D terms to learn why different solutions are needed in different circumstances, so that new knowledge can be generated and new theories can be developed for further scientific work.
At the same time, it is also useful in industrial terms where those organizations that rely on complex technology based operations can learn from the work and explore necessary practices to avoid traps in complex integration processes.

PHD: WORK PROCESS
INTEGRATION FOR
INTEGRATED OPERATIONS
BY YU BAI – FINISHED (2006-2011)
DESCRIPTION: The current development in Integrated Operations (IO) basically focuses on the integration of existing processes and organization. O&G producers have realized the importance of work process integration, and demanded a smart, intelligent integration of work process to rearrange all activities of production.
The Norwegian O&G industry today has created and implemented a method named Integrated Work Process (IWP) for achieving commercial benefits and high-level ambitions of IO. IWP could be regarded as a set of processes reorganization for capacity increase, cost-effectiveness, and better decisions making (Khan & Islam, 2007). That requires work process must extend from partly, isolated, independent integration that mostly utilized within each functional discipline to complete integration in multi-disciplines’, field-wide environment.
As described of OLF, based on the scope of integration, IWP can be considered and classified as two phases: 1) IWP for offshore and onshore; and 2) IWP for O&G operators and vendors (2005). First phase is focusing on the integration for operation process with the support from OSCs. IWP development in this regard involves organizing & improving the capacity of performance plan; precisely assessing potential risks of modification; creating relative tools to standardize the variable application systems; coordinating logistical competences and requirements of production; accelerating data mining / transfer speed; and increasing the reliability of whole offshore production. The ultimate goal is to systematically research the feasibility of value-creation surrounding operation activities by these directly value generating activities. As IWP reaches such an operational state that mentioned above, second phase will be started to collaborate outer vendors for business benefits maximum and continuous guarantee of the needs of high-efficiency in wider scope. In this phase, the IWP can be improved to a large extent that involves the scope, organization structure, budget /investment of business co- operation, even world-wide integration between different geographical places.

PHD: CONTRIBUTIONS TO TREATMENT OF
UNCERTAINTY IN RELIABILITY AND RISK
INFORMED OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
BY JON T. SELVIK – COMPLETED
DESCRIPTION: The PhD work of Selvik can help to increase the quality of operations and maintenance planning in the industry, thus providing a better basis for decisions to be taken in situations associated with risk and uncertainty.
Several of the articles deals with decision problems and methods related to the choice of maintenance strategy, what kind of maintenance that is best suited to certain situations and when these should be performed. The thesis describes how the main methods can be improved by introducing simple measures, thus giving decision makers a better information base for making good choices based on the different options that are available.
Two of the methods discussed are reliability driven maintenance and risk based inspection. The thesis points out weaknesses in the current use of these methods, and Selvik is developing upgraded versions of these methods based on a thorough analysis of uncertainty and risk.

INTERNATIONAL PROJECT:
MIN NOVATION
INTERREG BALTIC SEA 4B PROJECT
(2010-2013)
DESCRIPTION: MIN-NOVATION aims to create a trans-national network with regional networks as building blocks of effective multi-lateral cooperation. The activities carried out on the regional and transnational level will secure better access to knowledge, state-of-the-art technologies and good practice to SMEs active in the mineral waste management & prevention sector. The project will address all the waste management challenges and opportunities which face the BSR mining industry, which should be understood as extending to all forms of extraction of natural non-renewable resources. The countries represented are PL, DE, FI, EE, SE, NO. The project activities will be facilitated by the commitment to participate by an additional 8 associated organizations representing mining industry stakeholder associations and/or national government bodies. The main project activities will be:(in WP3) the organization of regional networks in 5 BS regions, the organization of a transnational (Baltic) network which will provide transnational feedback to nat'l/regional issues and which will also secure the participation of regional, national and internal‟s stakeholder organizations at key moments throughout the project;(in WP4) the development of guidelines for action, including on the transnat'l level and the working groups which will help implement them;(in WP5) the completion of transnat'l pilot investments, including follow-up activities, and follow up on the guidelines. The main transnational outputs will be :(in WP3) SME database, a series of reports on the status of mine waste management in the BS region;(in WP4) compendium of technologies for waste management/prevention, Baltic guidelines and Declaration on Waste Management & Prevention;(in WP5) 4 pilot investments with follow-up activities. The main expected results are a sustainable multi-sector network for supporting transfer of knowledge and innovation in the BSR to SMEs as well as sustainable regional networks carrying out activities meant to strengthen the SME sector in given countries of the BSR and influence policy related to mining and mineral processing waste management. A related expected result is a common, BSR-wide approach to select mining sector growth issues and effective action by the MINNOVATION transnational network on knowledge transfer issues found in EU-level policies on waste management/prevention and mining. MINNOVATION is the response to a clear need to tackle waste management/prevention issues for the entire life cycle of the mine and from a legal, financial and economic perspective, which requires multi-sector involvement. The relevance of addressing this topic is obvious if one notes that 29% of the total waste generated in the EU each year is from some type of mining activity.

INTERNATIONAL PROJECT:
COLL-LIVING LAB
NORDIC FUND PROJECT (2010-2012)
DESCRIPTION: The aim of this project is to build on and improve the work of existing Living Labs and generate knowledge on how to innovate new services, media and infrastructure in Living Labs in three different Nordic countries.
A central premise in service management is that services only become valuable in use. Quality perceptions and experiences are formed in use or during consumption. Value is co-created with customers or users and assessed in the context of its intended use. Companies that aim to develop innovative products or services should place a stronger emphasis on understanding the users‟ value creation processes, resource constellations available for users and the relationship between the quality of the technical solutions and user perceived quality. It is critical to identify and understand mechanisms in which value emerges for a customer or a user and its relationship to the technological platform for the service. Users should be invited and given the opportunity to act as co-creators in an innovation system, particularly evident in development of new ICT infrastructure, services and media.In the project, research from disciplines such as computer science, psychology, marketing, e-health, media and communications, electrical engineering, information engineering and economics and business will be combined in order to contribute to the field of service research where the issue of how to integrate users in co-creation of new services, media and infrastructure is a highly relevant issue.
Compare Testlab - Karlstad, NettOp - University of Stavanger, and CNP - Aalborg University, are three living labs for development of new ICT-services, infrastructure and media by means of involving users (i.e. end users as well as companies). The industrial partners Ipark (Stavanger Innovation Park), ICTNORCOM, and the Greater Stavanger Development will present real cases to which users will be invited to co-create and test ICT services.
Research suggests that there is a lack of knowledge (a „knowledge gap‟) when it comes to how best to involve the user in the innovation process, something that is as relevant in business as it is in academia. The premise of the three Living Labs is that they constitute a fruitful combination of organizational structures and technical platforms that can facilitate (bridge the gap) in the involvement of users in the innovation of new ICT-services, media and infrastructure.
INDUSTRY PROJECT:
INTEGRITY THROUGH
SYSTEM DESIGN
RESEARCH RELATING TO WIND
ENERGY IN PROGRESS (2010-2012)
DESCRIPTION: This is a sub-project initiated between Centre for Industrial Asset Management (CIAM) of University of Stavanger and VTT Research as a part of the newly established The Norwegian Centre for Offshore Wind Energy (NORCOWE) in Norway. Specific connection is to the Asset management section of the WP3 on „Offshore deployment and Operation’.
Different designs have different characteristics, which subsequently have different implications during operations. In general during the design, systems integrity focus could be in the requirements generation and management of process. Requirements management is essential for owners, operators and maintenance companies and delivers the baseline for operation and maintenance activities and a large part of operational costs.
From system‟s integrity perspective, for instance RAMS during process design is important for companies delivering windmills. It is expected to extend traditional concepts related to the assurance of systems integrity with Inspectability/Inspection aspects that is turn out to be important in offshore installations. It is also expected that baseline for systems integrity assurance is reviewed for different concepts and compared to develop an optimal criteria.
