Zero Base Budget, Civil Works Operation and Maintenance System: Executive Summary.
Abstract
This report provides management level overview of the Zero Base Budget, Civil Works Operations and Maintenance (ZBB/CWOM) system, a tool to develop funded programs which reflect management objectives. The ZBB/CWOM system requires that work in support of each project be defined in terms of that base effort which is absolutely essential to the accomplishment of the most significant aspects of the project. Those efforts which go beyond this base effort are expressed in logical increments of work. The ZBB/CWOM system develops prioritization of the incremental work efforts, ranging in importance from the most needed to the least needed, thereby integrating the work increments of a single project with the work increments of other projects. A single listing of all work elements, regardless of project, is developed in priority order; i.e., decision packages (DPs) which describe the work increments are developed and ranked. This report, in addition to providing a management overview, serves as a guide to the ZBB/CWOM system codes.
