REPORTING SYSTEM FOR FISCAL AFFAIRS AND MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS

MANY STATES HAVE UNDERTAKEN STUDIES TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS TO IMPROVE THEIR MAINTENANCE PRACTICES. THEY HAVE DEVELOPED AN INTEGRATED REPORTING SYSTEM THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS AND PROVIDES MANAGEMENT WITH INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR EFFECTIVE PLANNING, EXECUTION, AND CONTROL OF HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES. THE ELEMENTS ARE PRESENTED OF AN INTEGRATED MAINTENANCE REPORTING SYSTEM. ADVANTAGES OF THE REPORTING SYSTEM ARE: (1) ONE REPORTING SYSTEM FILLS THE NEED OF FISCAL MANAGERS FOR FISCAL INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE MANAGERS FOR MANAGEMENT INFORMATION, (2) THE REPORTED INFORMATION IS FAR MORE ACCURATE THAN BEFORE, (3) A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH IN THE BOTTLENECK FOR PROCESSING DATA WAS ACHIEVED, (4) THE NEW SYSTEM MAKES WORK REPORTING MORE CLOSELY RELATED TO WORK SCHEDULING, AND (5) REPORTED DATA IS NOW IN A FORM WHERE THEY MAY BE SUMMARIZED INTO MEANINGFUL INFORMATION FOR MAINTENANCE MANAGERS. IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM INCLUDING INTEGRATED REPORTING CAN RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS. THIS HAS BEEN THE EXPERIENCE IN LOUISIANA AND UTAH.
