Project Management System Analysis

This case study examines the implementation of the Integrys Outdoor Lighting System (ODL), which revolutionizes street lighting maintenance through an integrated GIS/CIS interface. Motivated by a potential annual savings of $40,000, the project successfully reduced maintenance time from 2.5 years to just 3 weeks. With 819 proposed working hours, the actual completion involved 781 hours, maintaining the budget and schedule while exceeding functionality expectations. Field-accessible automated records enhance user experience, leading to increased satisfaction among technicians and stakeholders.

  1. Project ManagementSystem Analysis Case Study: Integrys ODL(Outdoor Lighting System) Yuri Burrows

  2. ODL (Outdoor Lighting) Background: Street Lights maintenance manager. GIS/CIS/ODL interface. Motivation: $40,000.00/year savings from old process. From 2.5 years To 3 weeks maintenance time. Proposed time cost: 819 total hours.

  3. GIS Geographic Information System – geospatial information about the poles. Smallworld -- Complex `Magic` GIS interface. Field Access to Automated Records – Access to GIS information from Panasonic Toughbooks (no internet connection). Outdoor Lighting -- a series of GUI, batch, and trigger applications responsible for bringing GIS and CIS together. Customer Information System – who do we bill for this lamp? IBM WebShere MQ Interface GE Smallworld external system FAAR ODL external CIS

  4. FAAR – Field Access to Automated Records City Level Quick access to data by location. Already available. Cheap/quick/easy to extend. Street Level

  5. Increase GUI flexibility through automation. ODL Administration Allow users to control their own data! Using only one control the administrator can edit contents of almost 20 controls.

  6. Additional Functionality! Give users in the field access to part numbers for QUICKER REPAIRS Technical assistance

  7. Project Management Success! Proposed 819 hours — Actual 781 hour On Budget! Proposed November 1st in production – Actual November 1st On Time! Proposed Functionality was O.K. – Actual Functionality More Than Proposed! Users (owner and technicians) were “ecstatic”!
