The Epsilon staff of operations professionals provides innovative and effective
solutions to many operational management issues critical to safe and efficient operations.
ESS staff have hands-on experience in the development and utilization of process
management applied to operational environments. They are experienced in applying
the appropriate level of rigor to operational activities and can assist in bringing
about new levels of safety, quality, and efficiency in their operations. Staff members
have been instrumental in the development and implementation of many of the Department
of Energy's (DOE) initiatives designed to enhance DOE facility operations.
Epsilon has highly qualified personnel available who can help improve a wide range
of operational areas such as Self-Assessment, Operations Program Evaluation, Configuration
Management, Conduct of Operations, Unreviewed Safety Questions, Integrated Safety
Management, Maintenance Management, Work Control and Safety (Authorization) Basis.
ESS understands the dual needs to be cost-effective and results-oriented in the
implementation of management systems. The application of the appropriate level of
rigor and process controls to operational activities yields productivity improvement
with desired safe, efficient, and quality achievements.
Conduct of Operations
Today's business environment requires that industrial operations be conducted with
a high degree of formality and discipline to ensure safety and continuity. Conduct
of Operations provides guidance for establishing the infrastructure necessary to
achieve the appropriate levels of formality and rigor.

Performance Monitoring (Self
Assessment)
An effective self-assessment program is critical to any successful operation and
is vital to continuous quality improvement. Successful organizations understand
the need to evaluate their performance, measure the results, and implement timely
and effective corrective actions. (More Info)
Configuration Management
Configuration Management (CM) is the control of the physical assets of a facility
or operation through the accurate maintenance of records and management of resulting
data. An accurate understanding of facility configuration is vital to assure the
facility operates safely and efficiently. (More Info)
Unreviewed Safety Questions
The concept of the Unreviewed Safety Questions (USQs) was established to provide
contractors at nuclear facilities the flexibility needed to conduct day-to-day operations
by allowing contractors to make limited changes without prior DOE approval. The
USQ process is DOE's method for determining the proper approval authority for proposed
facility changes.
Safety (Authorization) Basis
While several documents comprise the Safety Basis for a DOE facility, the foremost
of them are the Safety Analysis Report and Technical Safety Requirements. The need
for the highest level of quality and accuracy is of utmost importance in the development
and upgrade of these documents. ESS has the capability and experience to produce
and refine these documents to the necessary state of quality and accuracy required
by DOE Orders and Standards. In support of the writing of these documents is our
capability for performing hazard and accident analyses, evaluating natural phenomena
hazard classifications, and determining the safety significance of structures, systems
and components. This experience base supports not only nuclear, but non-nuclear
activities as well. (More Info)
Training Services
The ESS staff of training professionals provides complete training services for
the industrial customer in need of cost-effective, high-quality, results-oriented
training programs. Our staff has extensive experience in the management of the following
training functions: program and course development and management, program and trainee
evaluation and assessment, and training delivery. (More Info)
