BACKGROUND
![Page 5: Structured Application Process 2 - BCEIAbceia.com/best/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Cassandra_Caunce_SA… · Structured Application Process ... – 2 Kaizen Improvement Workshops (Spring](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070804/5f036bac7e708231d4091f13/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
History & Context
• Each year the Ministry receives approx. 750 EMA applications
• In September 2014, the Ministry developed a new application process designed to be efficient & equitable for all clients– SAP 1.0 was based on first in, first out
• In 2015, the Ministry commenced a review of SAP 1.0

Review Process: LEAN
• EMA Application Process Lean Project – Methodology: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve & Control
stage– Data driven, customer‐focused, done by employees
• Two Phases:– Phase 1 ‐ Define and document an approach for how EMA
applications are received, categorized, prioritized & selected for processing ‐ in a fair, transparent and consistent manner
– Phase 2 ‐ Define effective, efficient and consistent processes for handling specific types of applications, in order to reduce unnecessary errors, delays and rework.

Review Process: LEAN
• Measure & Analyze steps included:– Analysis of data from our AMS System (application types, volumes, cycle
time etc.)– Interviews & focus groups with staff & executive– Online surveys of staff and clients
• Improve steps included:– 2 Kaizen Improvement Workshops (Spring 2016)– Development of comprehensive guidance & tools– Minor systems upgrades (October 2016)– Communications & staff training (underway)

Preliminary Application Phase• Includes pre‐application meeting with Ministry
• Designed to ensure applicant fully understands all application requirements– Information Requirement Tables
• Applicant receives an Application Instruction Document (AID)
• Ability for clients to request “exemption”
![Page 21: Structured Application Process 2 - BCEIAbceia.com/best/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Cassandra_Caunce_SA… · Structured Application Process ... – 2 Kaizen Improvement Workshops (Spring](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070804/5f036bac7e708231d4091f13/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Preliminary Application Phase• Applicant Work Window
– The period of time when the applicant completes the work required to produce a Final Application package for the ministry. Once the AID is issued, the amount of time required to generate the Final Application package is at the discretion of the applicant, but the work window cannot exceed 36 months from the date the tracking number is assigned.

Screening Phase• Administrative screening in Business Services Branch– Presence/absence check – are all the pieces there?
• Technical screening in Regional Operations Branch– Are all the pieces of sufficient quality and quantity to inform a decision?
• Final categorization of the application sets target date for decision

Screening Phase• Categorization Considerations:
– Risk to the environment– Proven vs. unproven technology– Potential to impact First Nations (potential impact & strength of claim)
– Public/stakeholder interest
