Implementing Asset Management at the Michigan Dept. of Transportation Ron Vibbert, Mgr. Asset Mgt. Section Bureau of Transportation Planning Michigan DOT
Basic Approach • Set Goals and Objectives • Collect Inventory and Condition Data • Rates of Deterioration • Performance Standards & Measures • Investment Strategies • Programs, Projects, and Practices • Monitoring Feedback and Adjustments
OLD PROCESS Tactical Reactive Compartmental & Piecemeal Stove Pipes Basic Tools “Slice in Time” Deficiencies Retiring Backlog Look Backwards NEW PROCESS Strategic Proactive Integrated and Systematic Interdisciplinary Advanced Systems Continuous assessment Function of Road Systems Approach Forward Looking What’s Different?
Implementing Asset Management • Institutional Challenges • Technical Challenges • Self-Assessment • AASHTO Guide • Providence, RI -- July
MDOT’S Asset Management Construct • Policy goals and objectives • Information and data collection • Planning and programming • Program delivery • Monitoring and reporting
Policy Goals & Objectives • Michigan Transportation Policy Plan • State Long Range Plan • MDOT’s Business Plan • Program Specific Strategies • Strategy for Repairing & Rebuilding Roads • Freeway Modernization Strategy • Corridor Management Strategy • Access Management Strategy • Border Crossing & Trade Corridor Strategy
Information & Data • Maintain high-quality information that supports asset management and business process • Collect and update data cost-effectively • Data viewed as “corporate asset” • Information automated and accessible to all parties • GIS Framework Project • Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) data collection • From survey accuracy up to “good enough” quality
Planning & Programming • Consider a range of alternatives in addressing problems and deficiencies • Mix of Fixes – not ‘worse first’ • Procedures and criteria and performance measures • are consistent • and reinforce policy goals and objectives • Organized department around performance • Decentralized to put staff nearer to customers • Aligned performance measures with program success
Alternative Analyses • Strategic rather than tactical • Longer term. Not ‘worst first’. • Decisions made with regard to the long-range condition of the entire system • More preservation focused, system focused • Assess improvements based on desired outcomes • Tools • Road Quality Forecasting System • Bridge Condition Forecasting System
Basis For Decisions • Cash Flow Model • Road Quality Forecasting System & Bridge Condition Forecasting System • Call for Projects • Corridor Approach • Capital Preventive Maintenance Strategy • Five-Year Road & Bridge Program
Call For Projects • Heart of our asset management process! • Solicit projects based on: • Funding • System Condition, and Future Conditions • Preservation strategies • System Goals and Performance Measures • Yields project lists developed based on identified investment strategies • Fiscally-constrained
5-year Road & Bridge Program • Outcome of a series of Call for Projects processes • Identifies approved investment strategies • Specific list of road and bridge projects, that fulfill the strategies • Rolling 5-year period
Technically, Where Were We in 1985-91? • Mainframe based production env. • Each “system” had it’s own data files • No sharing • Lots of “silos” • Systems “evolved” since the 60’s • Tactical, addressed work area needs • No Development methodology • “creative” programming • Few enforced standards
PMS PMS DB PTMS PTMS DB BMS BMSDB IMS IMS DB SMS SMS DB CMS CMS DB Tactical Systems
What was the Impact? • Every system had to have links to every other system • Main focus was writing data translation and reformatting programs, instead of new apps • Many, many chances for error • Interrelationships too complex to succeed • Many answers to a question • Press/Legislature “shopping” the department for answers to questions
What was Happening 1985-91? • PCs becoming more available to users • PC software much more capable than mainframe • Users developing software on their desks • duplicating mainframe software on desktops • Gunslingers -- get the job done • Users becoming more sophisticated -- pushing IT community. • Extensive and long-standing road referencing problems
Mainframe ISTEA (Program Mgt) ISTEA (Mgt Systems) Embraced Client-Server Migrated data Develop Software PINS Development FOS Development MAP Phase I DB design Changed LRS Designed Data Developed Mgt Systems What did MDOT Do? • Decentralized IT in MDOT
What about Today? • 5-6 Major Applications/Systems (Strategic) • MPINS, MFOS • Essential for system/program planning/monitoring • Management Systems (from ISTEA) • TRNS*Port & Field Manager • P/PMS • Many ‘tactical’ systems • support work area needs to support the project development process • Finance, Human Resources, other support
What has Enabled These? • Technology (of course) • Federal and other mandates • Standards • technical - standard hw and sw • business - definition of processes and data • Management / Executive Commitment
Has this Worked for Asset Mgt purposes? • Have performed many prerequisites • Integrated data • Identified processes • Application Support provided • Goal/sObjectivies identified • Now the work begins • Can we meet the objectives? • Do we have adequate $ resources? • Can we forecast asset performance over time? • Are we meeting/approaching the goals?
“Setting the Stage”2003 – 2007 Five Year Program System Condition – Pavement • Our forecasting tool (RQFS) appears to be optimistic • Actual data indicates we are not achieving the rate of progress forecasted • 78% Good forecasted for 2002 in the last Five Year Program • 75% Good actual in 2002 reported in this Five Year Program
What are We Doing? • Notified our Commission we would not meet our 2007 pavement condition goals • Efforts are underway to improve RQFS model and data collection • Are we collecting the right data? • Revise fix lives of treatments, or their costs? • Other factors influencing deterioration? • More cost-effective data collection? • Is RQFS working? How should we change it? • Is RSL a valid concept from a practical standpoint? • What to we have to measure that we aren’t measuring now?
ASSET MANAGEMENTTHE IT FOUNDATION By Doug Couto FOR 5th National Conference On Asset Management: Moving From Theory to Practice September 30, 2003
The Need for Better Information • In order to do their jobs, managers and staff need better more integrated information • In order to do their jobs, managers and staff need information faster • In order to do their jobs, managers and staff will need to be able to communicate information at a faster and faster rate.
Executive Frustrations • System Failures • Organizational Barriers • Slow to Deliver • Lack Strategic Partners
Where Does IT Fit • Key Member of Executive Staff • Central Leadership and Direction • Decentralized Execution and Support
Statewide IT Strategic Directions • Central IT budget with CIO • Desk Top Standards • Hardware Refresh Rates • Software Investments • Project Management Focus • Involve All Levels of Mgt Team • Invest in People • Development Standards • Business and Technical Architectures
Multi Agency Projects • E-government • Crash Data • Truck Permitting (CVISN) • Field Manager
