Civil Works Operations & Maintenance Management Tools Research Program: Program Summary FY 2000 - FY 2002
Abstract
The purpose of the Civil Works O&M Tools research and development program was to develop new decision support tools and improve old ones that could remove a degree of subjectivity from the business of developing and executing the O&M program. The products would help managers not so much by making decisions for them but by providing a structured basis of objectivity and fact as a platform to support decisions where choices are difficult to make. The products focus on infrastructure condition assessment. infrastructure functionality evaluation, analyses which would project benefits derived from O&M investments. prioritization algorithms based upon consequences and probabilities (risk) which would be used to rank proposed work packages in the O&M budget. and lastly. an inexpensive means for communication within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' O&M community by way of a web site that catalogs cost savings technologies. The 3-year programs scheduled findings was cut more than 50 percent during its first 2 years and received only enough funding during the final year to partially complete some efforts and summarize the achievements described in this report.
