MODERNIZING PENNSYLVANIA'S MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Pennsylvania's maintenance management system (MMS) was developed in the early 1970s and was operating statewide in 1975. When the system was developed it was state of the art, but computer technology has advanced significantly since that time. Thus the staff of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has been prompted to review and update its procedures for handling information. The primary objective for many modifications is to make the information collected available promptly to the field offices. On-line Flash reports have been developed. Each organization manager inputs the parameters for the information desired and receives a report on the screen of the organization's terminal that was generated in the central office computer. If the manager wishes a hard copy the report may be printed at the organization's printer. For example, a manager may obtain information on activities performed by each foreman so that the foreman's recent jobs may be reviewed and evaluated; or ask for information by Legislative Route to show what activities were performed and how many dollars were spent to maintain that highway. Recently reports have separate entries for units of work and the dollars spent by contractors and the activities performed by department forces.
