1 – Introduction

The NPP Best-Practices documents describe ideas or processes that contribute to reduce NPP costs. These documents are
validated by the NPP Best-Practices Steering Committee, which is composed of representatives from all BGs and from NPP,
and are published in the NPP Best-Practices Intranet.

The NPP Best-Practices Intranet contains also Benchmark documents.

2 – Process to establish NPP Best-

Best-Practices

The NPP Best-Practices can have different sources:

- benchmark between plants allowing to identify the better performing ones and to collect their best-practices

- workshop with an expert of the subject

- proposal issued by a plant

In all cases the best-practices are validated by the Steering Committee before publication.

3 – Process to implement NPP Best-

Best-Practices

The process can vary according to the subject, the maturity of the plant on that subject, or the amount at stake.

The deployment can be limited to a simple information to the Managers on the availability of the best-practices, or
based on a formalized action plan monitored by the management of the plant.

The levels can be as follow:

1 Communicate NPP Best-Practices to trigger interests and facilitate implementation

2 Organize gap analysis for more relevant practices in order to evaluate the plant
situation and to identify improvement opportunities
3 Define targets, using, for example, benchmarks with other plants, and schedule an
action plan.
4 Deploy and monitor an implementation action plan
5 Obtain and measure cost improvements.
