The presentation will focus on how one sanitation district evaluated work
processes, determined operational improvements, and implemented multiple
cost-saving ideas ranging from streamlining work practices to utilizing
advanced technology such as GIS connectivity and CCTV data linked to a new
maintenance system to develop routine schedules, track work, and improve
operations. This transformation led to increased application of routine
cleaning, improved work reporting, and increased automation of work
processes to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operations with
increased quality.
This resulted in an 85% increase of work done and significant cost savings
compared to the previous year with a reduction of 9 SSOs/100 miles of sewer
to 5.3 last year and is now at 3.4. Productivity is expected to increase
with the implementation of a more optimized cleaning schedule. District
management is able to track actual and budgeted costs for all work
activities utilizing a performance based work plan and budget. One advantage
of this budgeting tool is the ability to compare actual work performance
with annual goals. The average daily production rate (ADP) for High Velocity
Cleaning is 5000 lineal feet for a two person crew. Actual ADP for the
current year is 5214 feet, or more than 4% better than this year's
production goal. |
