Operations Readiness And Assurance
Operations Readiness and Assurance (OR&A) is used primarily in the oil and gas exploration and development business. The name is also used extensively by the U.S. military and NASA, but to describe a wholly different concept (mission readiness). It can be used anywhere where a requirement for a certain level of assurance, that a given status or specified capability exists (or will exist, at a given point in time), is required. It is commonly known by the acronym OR&A (the ampersand is used and retained in the acronym for clarity).
The name Operations Readiness and Assurance (OR&A) Ltd. is a registered UK company who has also registered the acronym OR&A® as a registered trade mark. The company also markets a text book on the subject for OR&A practitioners, as referenced below.
