The following abstract is about a completed OMNI project. This project summary offers insights into our expertise and value we bring to our clients' efforts to improve their operations.

The Ohmsett National Oil Spill Response Test Center, a unique national resource managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior, conducts marine oil spill response research and testing. The Test Center's technical capabilities in oil spill response research are unparalleled. However, operations and maintenance activities were consuming Test Center resources at an inexplicable and ever increasing rate, leaving no resources for internally funded research and development work. In hopes of reversing this trend, the Test Center asked OMNI to conduct an independent review of Test Center operations and maintenance activities.

Based on information gathered during the study and the expertise of OMNI's performance management specialists, OMNI provided a number of recommendations to improve the Test Center’s effectiveness and productivity. These recommendations concerned the Test Center’s organizational structure, communication among managers, resource management, policies and procedures for selecting projects to fund, and facility maintenance.

The Test Center began implementing OMNI’s recommendations within one month of receiving the study report. Within the first year of completing the study, operations and maintenance activity costs were brought under control, and resources became available to conduct research and development studies important to the advancement of marine oil spill recovery technology and capacity.
