Excerpt from Electricite De France's Performance Feedback System at Work: The Case of the "Piquage"
Edf's system of nuclear power generation is based on the premise that by having many plants of the same size and basic design, knowledge of how such big machines work efficiently and safely can more easily be accumulated over time. This knowledge can identify and solve generic problems so that the uncertainties in running such machines can be reduced. Since nuclear power plants are designed on the basis of known technical and regulated systems, periodic inspections can be made on various system components through measuring and/or calibrating tangible characteristics.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the Electricite de France's (EDF) performance feedback system and its application in the "piquage" case. EDF's system is designed to enhance the sharing and application of information derived from the performance of multiple nuclear power plants. The author posits that knowledge about engendering safe performance is created through performance, or operations, itself. By operating numerous nuclear power plants, EDF creates a repository of knowledge about plant operations, enabling the identification and resolution of generic problems. The case of the "piquage" demonstrates how EDF's processes for sharing information and reacting to performance lessons function in practice. Through continuous monitoring and testing, the system allows for the detection and correction of latent defects before they affect plant performance, fostering a culture of error detection and correction. By analyzing the piquage event, the book highlights the significance of organizational learning in nuclear power operations, showcasing the processes and structures that EDF employs to facilitate information sharing and the creation of shared solutions across the organization. Ultimately, the book underscores the crucial role of performance feedback systems in enhancing safety and efficiency in complex, high-risk industries such as nuclear power generation.
