STATUS REPORT ON THE LOUISIANA MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LOUISIANA MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS GIVEN. THIS REPORT IS BASED ON DATA PROVIDED BETWEEN JULY 1, 1969, TO MARCH 20, 1970. HOW SURPLUS MANPOWER IS TO BE HANDLED IS DISCUSSED. A PERFORMANCE BUDGET FOR THE COMING FISCAL YEAR WAS PREPARED FOR THE FIRST TIME. MAINTENANCE EXPENDITURES REACHED A PEAK IN FY 69 AND DECREASED TO THE FY 68 LEVEL IN FY 70. (AS THE FIGURES ARE IN ABSOLUTE DOLLARS, THE TRUE SAVING IS EVEN GREATER.) AS LOUISIANA LAW STIPULATES MAINTENANCE PRIORITY IN THE HIGHWAY BUDGET, THE SAVING CAN BE FREED FOR USE IN NEW CONSTRUCTION. ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION IS DEVOTED TO WORK PRODUCTIVITY, LABOR MANAGEMENT, MAINTENANCE MACHINERY ASSIGNMENT BY LINEAR PROGRAMMING, AND COMPUTER APPLICATIONS TO OPERATIONS.
