WELCOME TO
THE FUTURE OF READINESS ASSURANCE
A high-risk facility typically operates under a contract or a licensing agreement that expresses the laws, standards, and governing documents (i.e. the requirements) the facility must meet to operate. Authorizing authorities and regulators of high-risk facilities perform reviews to confirm the facilities are in compliance with the requirements. Before those external reviews occur, the facilities themselves should, or may be required, to verify that all start-up or operational requirements have been met. Readiness Certification Assurance (RCA) is an integrated process for assuring operational readiness in high-risk industries.
The Readiness Certification Assurance Process
The RCA process was born out of a desire to have a high level of confidence that a major half-billion dollar nuclear project would be operationally ready and provide the needed mission capabilities it was being built to deliver. This should be every Project Managers dream, right. Despite obstacles along the way, the process worked to rave reviews and acclaim. To top that, it was also done within budget and on schedule. Dream realized.
So what is this RCA Process?
The Readiness Certification Assurance (RCA) process ensures that a high risk facility or process is ready for operation through a systematic approach to showing that a set of defined requirements have been met, that there is evidence to support that fact, and that the evidence has been verified as meeting the defined requirements.
This is the basis for the RCA process and its supporting software tool, the Readiness Certification Assurance Process Tracking System (RCAPTS).
