An Operations Management System is an integrated set of requirements, responsibilities and business processes that will continuously improve performance and help you achieve your goals. We find most companies have many overlapping goals that can all be addressed by the Management System:

You already have many policies, processes and procedures required for a Management System, so many of the OMS building blocks will be in place. SPAN helps you take what you've got and align it with the requirements you need to meet including standards such as CSA Z662, CER OPR, API RP 1173, or ISO standards. We then help you put a robust implementation plan in place following our proven 4-Stage Implementation Process to ensure your OMS gets implemented correctly.
SPAN's proven 4-Stage Implementation Process provides an efficient and cost effective way to implement your Management System. We provide you the process and then guide you through each step to implement your OMS.
A key component of our implementation process is the use of Octane, our Operations Management System implementation tool. Octane is used to conduct gap assessments in a collaborative way with your teams, and then manage the workflow of gaps and actions to ensure improvements are made. Octane's robust reporting and analytics also allow you to see and report on Management System performance in real time without the need for time consuming spreadsheet work. Without Octane you run the risk of accidentally losing or contaminating valuable data or breeching company data security requirements which is commonplace with spreadsheets and email.
Our Management System services cater to your company no matter what stage of development you're at. We find that all companies need to go through the same fundamental steps, which we guide you through and customize to meet your needs.
