MODERNIZING ORANGE COUNTY'S MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AGENCY

Le résumé fourni par la source

In September 1981 Orange County, California, requested proposals to evaluate and make recommendations for improving its Maintenance Operations Planning and Scheduling System (MOPSS). MOPSS, which was designed by in-house personnel, was not achieving management's objectives. Computerization of the system had become so complex that it was incapable of functioning properly. Phase I of the study was an evaluation of MOPSS and phase II was the development and implementation of phase I recommendations. Orange County obtained a consultant to assist with the evaluation of MOPSS and to develop and implement was completed on July 1, 1983. The results are documented savings in excess of $790,000 per year. The savings have occurred through (a) more efficient identification and scheduling of work, (b) improved work methods, (c) improved productivity, and (d) optimized crew size. In addition, all data processing is accomplished on a microcomputer at the public works site. Rapid turnaround measured in hours, efficient input of data, and ease of update are some advantages of this computerized system. The system operating in Orange County is a dynamic system. It was implemented with the full cooperation of all management levels who maintain and assure that the system is responsive to today's challenges.
