Organizational Effectiveness – John Sevier Combined Cycle Plant

Report Information

Date Issued
Report Number
2021-15802
Report Type
Inspection / Evaluation
Description
The Office of the Inspector General conducted a review of the John Sevier Combined Cycle (JSCC) Plant to identify factors that could impact JSCC’s organizational effectiveness. During the course of our evaluation, we identified behaviors that had a positive impact on JSCC. These included positive relationships between team members and management; however, we also identified minimal behavioral risks associated with communication and accountability. In addition, we identified minimal risks to operations that, if unaddressed, could hinder JSCC’s effectiveness. These were related to resource needs, such as problems obtaining parts and materials needed to perform jobs, as well as a desire for additional training, including instrument mechanic and instrumentation training.
