***************************
This 1-day webinar is for all operations and related field staff who do or oversee any aspect of construction, retirement, and maintenance of your utilities distribution system.  This webinar details the components and requirements of a work order and the purpose and outcome of the overall work order process.  We will follow the life of a work order from opening to close and correlate the jobs that employees and contractors do within the process.  

Participants will gain an understanding of system maintenance versus system improvements and retirements, but more importantly why the understanding of expenses and assets is important to every employee.  We will discuss the what it means to properly complete a service order and a work order.    
By the end of the webinar, participants will understand the impact of the work they do to the on financial statements and ultimately to member/consumer rates.
