Organizational Effectiveness - Southaven Combined Cycle Plant

The Office of the Inspector General conducted a review of the Southaven Combined Cycle (SCC) Plant to identify factors that could impact SCC’s organizational effectiveness. During the course of our evaluation, we identified behaviors that had a positive impact on SCC. These were related to teamwork and interactions with others; however, we also identified risks related to employee and managerial behaviors that had a negative impact on SCC morale. In addition, we identified risks to operations that could hinder SCC’s effectiveness. These were related to (1) ineffective work management, (2) inaccurate plant drawings, (3) inadequate staffing, and (4) perceived negative interactions with an internal TVA business partner.
