Due Diligence Investigations

Companies today planning the purchase of a pipeline asset need to know not only what they are buying, but also research the pipeline installation and operational records and determine if there are hidden regulatory issues. JMS has experience reviewing pipeline records to confirm the seller's representation of the asset, and perform independent assessment of the regulatory situation. It is much better to identify any issues prior to purchase so remediation can be negotiated.

Process Improvement

Confusion in any process leads to project errors and costly delays. As the existing process is documented, the participants automatically identify the pain points and desired improvements. Review of the process with an eye towards streamlining and reducing hand-offs is also beneficial.
Job Aides or process checklists are helpful to ensure implementation of the new process.
JMS is experienced in all aspects of process improvement and able to assist you.

Guidance Document Development or Update
