Introduction:

Objectives: The project objectives are:

• Reduce operational risk by improving the currency of schematics (by generating them from live data)
• Ensuring schematics are uniform in design (and so support more consistent provision of information)
• Shortening the time to produce schematics and removing the risk of data errors being introduced to schematics (by removing the otherwise labour-intensive process)
