Inspection and Maintenance
Management
CLIENTS' NEEDS
Maintaining a City’s assets takes a significant “bite” out of the City’s
operation's budget. Today GASB34 requires that these maintenance budgets be managed in
a defensible way. Every city, regardless of size, needs to continually
focus on applying cost effective tools to improve its Maintenance
Management because maintenance is such a large part of the civic budget.
CLIENTS' ISSUES
Considering the need for improved systems for maintenance management and
the proliferation of hardware and software solutions, civic management
needs to step very carefully. The key issues facing management are:
that
inspection processes
and up-to-date inventories and evaluations are key elements of any maintenance
management program.
Making
sure that the needs of both the in-field
maintenance worker as well as service management are truly addressed in
any system.
Selecting
the right hardware and software for maintenance and inspection
staff. (Their needs are quite different from the needs of the planning and
administrative staff).
Addressing
the multi-tiered and continuous training needs that have to be part of any
inspection and maintenance management program.
ECHELON’S SKILLS, EXPERIENCE AND APPROACH
We believe
that Handheld and Pocket PC computers could be effective tools in any
new maintenance management program. We believe this because we have seen
how field staff can improve their productivity with these tools. We have
developed a range of laptop, slate, HHPC, and PPC based programs that are
exceptionally easy to use. These
Pocket GIS based programs provide the
potential to revolutionize the inspection and maintenance tasks of
maintenance workers.
ECHELON’S ROLE
Our staff can work with your team
to review and recommend on maintenance practices and work management
programs. Or, we can build special purpose,
handheld Pocket GIS based
systems, customized to address your needs or we can supply complete
turnkey, maintenance management systems.
We know
what works.
