Operational Readiness, Activation, and Transition - ORAT

MAv-ADP ORAT Services leverages Groupe ADP’s proven ORAT methodology worldwide successfully deployed at US airports such as DFW CTA Expansion Projects, EWR Global Gateway Project, ORD, and Mumbai T2 (India).

 

 

MAv ORAT methodology engages all identified project and operational stakeholders on the main pillars described below:

 

  • Project management structure, including governance and comitology setting,  planning monitoring, risk analysis and precise reporting through dashboards integrating data and KPI from multiple sources, providing a structured platform for updated information sharing and decision-making

 

  • Strong Interface with construction project management teams, ensuring seamless information circulation between project teams and future operating teams

 

  • Operational Process approach, assessing challenges to be addressed for each process, formalizing operational strategies, and producing and validating standard operating procedures (SOPs)

 

  • Operational Staff preparation: identifying HR requirements, monitoring recruitment processes, and defining, implementing, and tracking the delivery of training to ensure staff are well-prepared for new systems and processes

 

  • Iterative ORAT trials sequence, from process walkthroughs to standalone operational trials, to integrated operational trials to assess on-site the management of operational processes in nominal and contingency situations

 

  • Transfer preparation, mobilizing all stakeholders in the last mile before opening, monitoring, and accompanying the first period of live operations

 

The key benefits of having an integrated ORAT team within DFW Projects management and Departments include:

 

Improved Coordination and stakeholder engagement: 

Ensures seamless communication and collaboration among all stakeholders, leading to more efficient project execution. Keeps all parties informed and aligned through shared dashboards and regular updates, fostering a unified approach to operational readiness goals.

 

 

Risk Reduction: 

Identifies and addresses potential risks early, minimizing disruptions, ensuring smoother transitions, and reducing downtime during transitions.

 

 

Enhanced Efficiency, safety, and security compliance: 

Streamlines processes and integrates new systems effectively, ensuring safe, secure, and efficient operations from day 1.

 

 

Enhanced Passenger Experience: 

Ensures all aspects of airport operations function smoothly, leading to increased passenger satisfaction and loyalty as well as non-aeronautical revenues.

 

 

Continuous Improvement: 

Allows for ongoing monitoring and enhancements, helping the airport adapt and improving operations over time.
