FEEDBACK FROM CLIENTS AND WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS IS OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE
In 2017, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) adopted BlueDragon as an integral part of Contractor Assurance (CAS).
“The CAS program has transformed our culture, aggressively addressing weaknesses and identifying issues, being self-critical and developing meaningful corrective actions.
-
CAS has driven substantial performance improvement; it is identifying issues and has avoided major events.
-
Numerous external reviews (EA31, EA22, EA33, INPO, VPP, L&A, BOD CAS Sub-Committee) have validated strong engagement as a result of CAS.”
