Jason Dean

Jason has a degree in Mathematics and a formal qualification through the Association of Project Management. He has held a number of Project Management and Operations Support roles within the BNFL group and has developed and implemented improvements to processes and plants. In addition, he has worked as a business analyst in the BNFL group and in the Department for Education. His experience varies from advising Senior Management at a strategic level through to the implementation of enabling projects on the shop floor.

Prior to joining the Nexia Solutions Strategic and Operational Analysis Team as a senior analyst, Jason spent five years in Manufacturing Support and Management Roles for two waste processing plants, implementing a number of IT infrastructure projects and managing two key waste tracking systems. He was responsible for reporting operational data issue resolutions to the Environment Agency and was the key contact for all IT issues, including the delivery of training.

As a Senior analyst Jason has tackled diverse problems using a number of tools, including spreadsheets, databases, simulation modelling, coupled with specific techniques such as Goal Programming and Value Stream Mapping. The business issues addressed have ranged from paybill and school funding allocation modelling, to engineering plant design support studies for Waste Processing facilities at Sellafield. This includes the latest MOX plant and Auto sampling on THORP.
His main areas of expertise are:

• Plant operational performance analysis and modelling 
• Identification and implementation of cost reduction and productivity improvements 
• Manufacturing process improvement 
• Design support including design for manufacture 
• Value Stream Mapping 
• Broad analytical and problem solving skills 
• Business Process Re-engineering 
• Project and programme management

Recent projects led by Jason include:

• Initiating and developing a process on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority that will enable audit of Site Licence Contractors Waste Treatment plans against industry best practice.
As a result, improvements maybe targeted and as a consequence money saved.
• Supporting the development of the British Nuclear Group Plutonium Contaminated Material strategy. This includes provision of a model to underpin scenario development and consultancy / facilitation services to drive forward both strategy development and implementation. 
• Managing a number of projects in series to support Low Level Waste Processing improvements including Value Stream Mapping, Re- engineering and Container Tracking. The cumulative effect of these projects was to strip out non-value added activities and free up time for plant and resource to accelerate production / absorb new feed.
• Development of a process to allow the Decommissioning business unit to both qualitatively and quantitatively prioritise delivery of projects to maximise value for money.
