Notes, if any

Tim had additional questions; Archita to work with IronSight/ Erica


to ensure they are addressed:
* Need workflow of what each group is responsible for monitoring
and follow up with the appropriate teams
* If we are viewing the Realtime Dashboard, is it our responsibility
to ensure the system is performing as intended?
* Field ops could reject the truck based on
HSSE/Equipment/security issues. Workflow to be included to cover
this scenario

04/11: Brian P: Requested as-is flows that remain unchanged, so


TOC has end-to-end workflows ahead of providing approval
04/16: Met with Brian; Brian ok to provide approval but has asked
for further diligence during Discovery on the following step: Review
the job and gather more info if needed

04/11: Mandy has asked for workflow where a job approved by FA


is then disputed by Field Ops or partially disputed by Field Ops. Will
this will go back to the vendor first? Will there be a note that it was
disputed in IronSights that would trigger the vendor to correct and
resubmit for Field Accounting to then validate again?
04/17: Met with Erica and Mandy; we will map the workflow for
the (rare) scenario where Field Ops might dispute a PR in part or
full. This will be done during Discovery

04/11: Bryan would like to confirm when geo-tracking of Drivers on


their phones start/ end. Only when the app is in use?
04/11: Sent IronSight policy from their web-site to Bryan; awiating
confirmation if that will suffice
04/12: Bryan confirmed approval

04/11: Bryan would like to confirm when geo-tracking of Drivers on

IronSight | Project Charter
Project name POC Estimated Costs
IronSight Antonio Falcon $1,348,860.00
Estimated cost savings ~ Approx. $1.3MM with improved callout process
~ Cost reduction in avoidance of non-productive time
~ Savings of ~$600K with changes to the water validation process and better
rates due to change from Net 30 to Net 15 day-terms

PROBLEM/ BUSINESS CASE GOAL(S) DEFINITION/ MEASURE(s) OF SUCCESS

and sufficiency ~ All callouts and communications are only via Ironsight HOW we will measure success.
~ Ironsight will track acceptance and rejections automatically building the
database required not only for the water validation process but also, provide
insight for vendor management efforts

Callouts made via phone calls and followed by emails ~ Automated callouts leveraging one of 4 methods to assign loads to different ~ Complete elimination of manual (email/ phone) processes
vendors: ~ All callouts and communications are only via Ironsight
1) Assign Directly/manually
2) Call out from Pool/Call-out list (time based)
3) Automatically assign (Dedicated trucks) and,
4) First come first serve
~ All correspondence contained in IronSight

Inability to evaluate vendor’s performance Ability to extract reports to evaluate Vendor performance ~ Predefined reports on metrics to evaluate performance, including productive
and non-productive time
Manual water validation process
Delays in water validation have led to past due payments ~ Streamline the water validation process by providing all required data and ~ Complete elimination of manual (email/ phone) processes
creating friction with multiple vendors support to validate loads to both the FAT and our Vendor base ~ Updated contracts with new payment terms
~ Ability to offer Net 15 terms vs Net 30

Poor data quality used to validate loads Standardization of data for each step with validations to confirm integrity and ~ Complete elimination of manual (email/ phone) processes
sufficiency ~ All callouts and communications are only via Ironsight
Using Vendor and SWD’s spreadsheets with backup images Standardization of data for each step with validations to confirm integrity and ~ Standardization across vendors with ability for them to attach files/ images as
sufficiency needed
Time consuming – manual process Automated process with pre-defined triggers and alerts to ensure timeliness ~ Complete elimination of manual processes
~ SLA-based triggers/ alerts to enforce target turnaround at every step in the
process

Inability to validate travel times (Yard to location, loading ~ Full visibility on travel through geolocation, allowing us to monitor and ~ TOC has visual updates on the location of each truck via IronSight
time, location to disposal sites, etc.) identify every load destination/disposal site utilized – critical for ESG purposes
~ Full visibility on travel through geolocation allowing us to monitor and
identify travel time outliers.

Inability to monitor/track destination/disposal of loads Precise, real-time tracking of each truck ~ TOC has visual updates on the location of each truck via IronSight
Inefficient Invoicing through Ariba
Vendors utilizing Factoring companies have had issues given Standardized formats and process ~ All invoicing will only be raised in Ariba, using standardized formats
Ariba’s self service capabilities
SES issues prevent multiple users from working concurrently Design a process that does not require concurrent access by multiple Users
on the same PO
Manual Truck management & tracking
TOC needs to call every driver/company to get ETA Precise, real-time tracking of each truck ~ Complete elimination of manual callouts
~ Dashboards that provide real-time status and ETA
Inability to re-route trucks with regard to real-time conditions Precise, real-time tracking of each truck ~ Real-time alerts to drivers and TOC

Unable to identify trucks on standby – Non-Productive Time TOC and Field personnel have real-time visibility of all incoming trucks ~ Dashboards that provide real-time status, including status post
through geolocation communicating emergencies/ change in routing* (is that accurate?)
Inability to re-direct on-route trucks from nearby jobs ~ Ability to release trucks on standby reducing unnecessary spend ~ Dashboards that provide real-time status
~ Ability for TOC to override hauls, identifying trucks closest to location in ~ TOC able to override jobs per need
case of emergencies and/or prioritization between jobs

Other benefits
Asset Shut-in Decrease risk (Can we measure it? $/day? $/hr)
Call-out optimization Decrease/ eliminate callouts Decrease from top 5 usage ~$642/yr
Water Validation Increase efficiency – Payment Terms Decrease from ~$600k/yr
HSSE/Legal/ESG Increased visibility
Escalation to other programs – i.e. Chemicals
Alignment with Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Library This initiative addresses the following items on the ERM Library: N/A
ERM-14, ERM 18, ERM-20.

The RACI chart lt is a quick way to lay out roles and


nd

responsibilities on your project. It allows you to discuss,


Ve

communicate and agree upon roles for your project. It is a great


External Resources thing to do up front, but can also help identify reasons why a
process is not working mid-stream. The idea is that in order to get
something done, you need to understand which people need to
work together to make it happen, and what all of their roles are.

Golden rule: Only one 'A' per row


OK to have more than one letter per person on a row
OK to skip C or I on a row.

The WBS is a "family tree” (parent-child) of project components that
organizes and defines the total scope of the project. Each descending
level represents an increasingly detailed definition of a project
component. Project components may be products or services.
It details WHAT will be delivered, which is also called the SCOPE of the
project, It breaks down deliverables to the least 'work package'. If a
requirement is NOT in the defined scope or needs to be changed AFTER
the plan is approved, it will not be delivered in the project unless
approved by the Steering Committee. This falls under Change
Management
List all work that must be done to complete the project, use outlined
bullets to make sure you capture every aspect of the work.

03/22: Laura sent initial documents; archita has requested templates to document
scope and shared the draft WES has started
03/22: Received templates and had discussion with Laura, to walkthrough their
implementation process

3 03/20 Confirm that IronSight can integrte OKTA Laura 03/20: IronSight to send documentation for OKTA integration approach so Marc can get
authentication sign-off from the Security team
04/02: Received and sent docs to Marc to confirm if it is adequate to get sign off from
the Security team

4 03/22 Set up formal kickoff and weekly touchbase for Archita 03/22: This will be set up once we have finalized the workflows
project 04/09: Initial internal call completed. Weekly calls will commence once we have
approval to proceed

6 03/26 Create Level 3 process maps to show future-state Erica 04/01: Archita to draft flow based on conversations to date, Erica to review
flows 04/09: # of 5 flows are complete
7 03/26 Request IronSight for details of where they have Erica 03/26: Sent request
executed integration with SAP/ Ariba 03/27: Received information from Laura - closed
8 03/26 Confirm that OKTA is added to MSA/ SOW (or Archita 03/27: Conveyed to Antonio; we will ensure this is added in the final version signed
Work order) as initial scope to be delivered
9 03/27 Confirm if we can skip DOA (as recommended by Erica 03/27: Erica confirmed with the Accounting team that we MUST include DOA ahead of
Gautam) or if must account for DOA as part of the PO creation. Also, we do not want to stroe DOA hierarchy in IronSight
approval, ahead of the PO being created
10 03/27 Confirm how master data must be sent to to Laura 03/27: Will this be SFTP? What is the file format? Csv, Xml, Json, other? Are there web
IronSight APIs available? Need technical details like are they exposed as web service, REST api,
etc; how change logic is handled, are these full reloads each interface or do they
ADD/DELETE/EDIT type logic in them, is master data feeds normally flat files but then
the PO push into IronSight is a web API?
03/28: Laura sent response: IronSight_Location_Sync.pdf – this document details how
to synchronize locations and cost centers in IronSight with an external source. It’s a
REST endpoint that accepts the full master dataset as a CSV file. Locations in the file
that aren’t already in IronSight are added, locations that already exist in IronSight are
updated in-place, and locations no longer contained in the CSV file are archived in
IronSight. To be confirmed with Marc: Good to close item?

11 03/27 Confirm how will we receive data from IronSight Laura 03/27: Are these web APIs exposed that we poll? What fields are available on the data
that’s exposed?
03/28: Laura sent response:IronSight_API_Sample.pdf – this document details a subset
of the IronSight API endpoints for reference purposes. Any operation that’s available
from the user interface is available through an equivalent API endpoint. In the Oxy
workflow they call the Get Jobs endpoint, then reconcile the data against SAP, then call
the Update Custom Fields endpoint to write the PO details back to the IronSight job. To
be confirmed with Marc: Good to close item?

12 03/27 Confirm IronSight testing approach Laura 03/27: Will IronSight provide/ help identify the test scenarios that need to be
executed? Will there be a test environment we can use or do we use the production
environment and if so how do we delete the test data? Will we have a test
environment for usage in general if we have support issues?
03/18: Laura sent details. To be confirmed with Marc: Good to close item?
04/ 02: Marc has conveyed preference for testing; IronSight to set up test
environments

It is a best practice to keep documenting your learning right from Day 1


when you start, versus waiting until after the project ends: you will
