Lummus advised to increase productivity The major contractor at Ontario Hydro's Bruce Heavy Water Plant construction sites has been told to shape up or lose the contract for completing the job. Hydro announced last week that Lummus was given until November 1, 1977 to improve its performance and productivity at Bruce Heavy water plant. Hydro's announcement ' came a few days after the Port Elgin Beacon Times published a story containing a scathing attack on Lummus productivity. In the Beacon Times story a former Lummus employee in the cost control department blamed Lummus management for poor productivity and escalating , construction costs. U.A. Jackson, general manager of design and construction, said Hydro completed, an audit of Lummus' performance in the summer of 1976 which in- cluded a complete review of the project and _identified areas which required im- proved performance, Lummus worked with Hydro throughout the winter to implement changes and presented a revised work plan in April 1977. At that time, Mr. Jackson said, Hydro officially notified Lummus that "unless satisfactory progress is being Made by November 1 1977, relative to Bruce Heavy Water plant B and D schedules and cost estimates Hydro may cancel all or any part of the scope of the work of the company." Mr. Jackson said -published reports critical of Lummus ignored the progress made to date and the cooperation of the company in remedying the situation. Hydro's 1976 audit showed field productivity at heavy water plant B has been abbut :10 per cent below that of plant A also built by Lummus.

Mr. Jackson said Lummus' performance and costs are reviewed by Ontario Hydro at regular 'meetings between senior management of both companies. Meetings are held every six weeks to review progress. The last meeting was July Lummus was awarded the contract for the second and third heavy water _plants at Bruce because of the quality of its performance in building the first plant. During 1976, the A plant achieved a capacity factor of 91 ,per cent, 'far above the performance of any other Canadian heavy water plant. "Lummus has had more experience in design and construction of heavy water plants than any other com- pa'ny in the world, and the outstandingerformance at plant A testifies to that." Mr. Jackson said. The contract with Lummus for the B and D plant was aWarded on a costbasis plus a fixed fee to the company. "This is different from ,a standard cost plus contract where the higher the cost the greater the profit to the • cpntractor. This arrangement protects the interests of Hydro and its customers." Mr. Jackson said. Tight construction schedules, requiring simultaneous work on engineering, procurement, and construction made it impossible to obtain a fixed price contract for a large part of the field work. Lummus undertook much of the structural and pipe* installation work at cost using its own resources, Mr: Jackson said. The main problem areas identified in Hydro's audit of the project included em- ployee relations, procurement, planning scheduling, material control, priiductivity and safety: "Lummus is devoting all it resources to meeting the improved performance . standards by our November 1 deadline," Mr. Jackson said. If it becomes necessary to cancel all or part of the Lummus contract, Hydro will consider completing the job With its own forces.
