CONNECTICUT HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE PRODUCTION STUDY
SUMMARIZED RESULTS ARE PRESENTED OF A ONE-YEAR STUDY OF MAINTENANCE WORK ON 262 MILES OF STATE HIGHWAY IN CONNECTICUT. THE STUDY WAS CONDUCTED TO OBTAIN BASIC DATA ON MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON TIME UTILIZATION AND PRODUCTION RATES OF LABOR AND EQUIPMENT. THIS STUDY YIELDS THE DATA AND SUPPORTING EVIDENCE TO: (1) ACCOMPANY THE PREPARATION OF THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET, (2) SUBSTANTIATE REQUESTS FOR MEETING NEEDS, AND (3) FACILITATE OVERALL MANAGEMENT OF THE MAINTENANCE EFFORT. THE DETAILED SUMMARY DATA RELATING TO TIME UTILIZATION OF LABOR AND EQUIPMENT ARE PRESENTED IN THE FOLLOWING TABLE ARRANGEMENTS: (1) DISTRIBUTION OF MAN-HOURS OF WORKING TIME, (2) DISTRIBUTION OF EQUIPMENT-HOURS OF WORKING TIME, (3) AVERAGE DISTRIBUTION OF WORKING TIME ON ALL MAINTENANCE ITEMS, AND (4) ACCOMPLISHMENT RATES ON SURFACE MAINTENANCE ITEMS OBSERVED. THE FACTS CONTAINED IN THE REPORT SHOW THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEMS INVOLVED AND PROVIDE A BASIS FOR MEASURING AND COMPARING THE RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH DIFFERENT PRACTICES. THIS PLAN OF CONTINUOUS APPRAISAL OF FIELD MAINTENANCE METHODS AND PRACTICES IS NOW ESTABLISHED AS A ROUTINE DEPARTMENT PROCEDURE.
