A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO THE MANAGEMENT OF HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE
A CONCEPTUAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE IS DISCUSSED WHEREIN THE MANAGING AND ALLOCATION OF AVAILABLE RESOURCES IS CONTROLLED AS DETERMINED FROM A RATHER COMPREHENSIVE REPORTING METHOD OR INFORMATION SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM WAS DEVISED AS THE RESULT OF A STUDY TO REPLACE THE FISCAL CONTROL OR HISTORIC COST METHOD PREVIOUSLY USED. STEPS ARE GIVEN TO DETERMINE SUITABLE MEASURABLE WORK UNITS AND MEANS BY WHICH PRODUCTIVE AND NON-PRODUCTIVE TIME CAN BE REPORTED IN ORDER TO ANALYZE OPERATIONAL METHODS IN MORE DETAIL. THE MEANS OF ACHIEVING DESIRED QUALITY LEVELS AND THE WORK QUANTITIES NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN THEM ARE DISCUSSED. A BRIEF DISCRIPTION IS GIVEN OF THE TRAINING METHODS ADOPTED TO ENABLE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SYSTEM WITHIN A LARGE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT. /AUTHOR/
