This document summarizes how an organization has gained wealth through improved works management processes and data. It discusses establishing common systems and feedback loops that have provided visibility and clarity into maintenance needs. Performance management based on works data has highlighted priorities and driven behavioral changes among contractors. Analyzing defects and response times has revealed surprises and allowed for robust discussions. Going forward, the organization aims to further leverage works management data to track changing defect patterns, develop network health metrics, set maintenance targets, and continually improve processes to increase wealth through knowledge.

• What Wealth has been gained
– Common Systems Approach - Single common process and systems
approach. Data is robust and can be compared across the networks
and contracts.
– Feedback Loop – Contractors work crews are given this data on a
monthly basis. This provides visibility to the guys on the ground that
what they are doing matters. We care.
– Clarity on Buying Services – The analysis is starting to provide clarity
on what we are buying in terms of Service.
• Edge Break LS, not featuring but is a known problem? Do we have this
right?
• Looks like we have an EMP issue. Can we find a better way to deal with
this?

• What Wealth has been gained
– A Few Home Truths
• Tradition - Traditional Maintenance Contract. New thinking. No change in
in the terms of the delivery.
• Great Expectations - We set some great expectations. Some of these have
been achieved some if these we have had to rethink.
• Measure Once Cut Twice! – To measure is to understand, to understand is
in some case is to be surprised. 4578 Pot holes in 8 months. And we
expect 48hr turn around for repair? Response Times analysis has told us
something else.
• Cards on The Table - This has resulted in some robust discussion with our
Contractors. Why did this robust discussion occur?

• What Wealth has been gained
– The WDC team and our Contractors are clear on what is important to
delivery of our vision.
– We are gaining appreciation of what we are asking for.
– We are understanding better, the true Cost Of Ownership.
– We are becoming a knowledgeable owner
– Our Suppliers in turn can become more knowledgeable

10. Getting Wealthier
• More Wealth from Works Management Data
– Tracking Changing Nature of Defects
• Analysing how defects are moving through the priority system
– Network Health Knowledge
• Developing a Maintenance Health Dashboard based on key maintenance
defects
– Setting Maintenance Targets
• Using Achievement data in relation to condition and Renewal
programmes to start to set Annual Pavement Maintenance Achievement
targets
– Continuous Improvement – Stop, Stand Back. Will this help increase
our wealth?

OverviewCreating Wealth - What have we DoneBriefly explore the Works Management Process What Wealth are we (WDC through to Contractor Staff down to routine crews) getting from the process in terms of dataRoutine Achievement reports, delivered to our contract ground staff, has provided a significant level of wealth in terms of this is not just data we are going to nothing with. We value what you are achieving it is important to us.Performance Management, has clarified to our contractors that we care and has brought both parties to the table to admit a few home truths. Before this put out a contract stated LoS and response times all via LS and said deliver this. Did we care NO. Why because we didn’t measure. Did the contractor care NO, why because we didn’t care. So out went tradiational contract with a a whole bunch of LoS expectations, Where to next What further value we are looking toextract from the process.Real Time data about routine issue maintenance on our network, large scale maintenance long term decisionsInform us the next time we go to buy Services, we can define our scope up/down Every day real time data about our network and its performancewhat further value are we looking extract from the process. Using every day real time data to inform us an denhance our short and long term decision making- More value from the real time data coupled with Annual data to provide better longer term decision making. - What LoS are we really trying to buy? Should we change? can we afford it? - Tracking changing nature of defects on our network, creating a more complete picture of network health. - Continue to shine a light on what we care about
This is foundation of our maintenance contracts. Define responsibility, tasks and detail within these tasks. This drove all the setup in the system and the underlying process. When we started to stray from the path this process was pulled out to remind us on what are we trying to achieve.It set the foundation of how WDC want the system to run. It was imperative that the process and system setup was the same across the whole operation. That is the Key success factor one way of doing things for all.
Same setup controlled by WDC. Continually monitoring the data and setup. Requested changes are not reacted to. Questions are asked does it fit with our process is this outcome we are looking for and provide value. Can we become wealthier from it. Give it back and you shall receive in return two fold.Clarity on Buying Services. Do we have this right? It is raising question on how we have allowed the contract to go forward. Edge Break LS<1m yet we pay for Edge Break>1m the stats are showing us. EMP M&V item but set as routine as of right, no authorisation? Big number is this right.
Another part of the process that has provided significant wealth and relies upon the Works Management data to get this working is the performance management system within our maintenance contracts. Significant portion of our PS relies upon the data we are collecting and is built/exists because of the data we are collecting. EoM Asset Built analysis, Dispatch data quality is a performance measure, response times, Programme achievement, Patrol Frequency, Work audits. The PS has a total of 45 measures.
Tradition - We had traditional Maintenance Contract, threw some new thinking at it, plus some subtle changes to the way we were paying for things. However we didn’t change to much in terms of the delivery.Great Expectation - It is fair to say that when we first embarked upon this process our idea of what was going happen and be delivered was tinted.Measure Twice Cut Once - When you start to measure you start to understand how much you haven’t got, you start to understand that you may have been paying for something you weren’t getting. You also start to understand that you could never afford what it was you were asking for!!Cards on The Table - This has resulted in some robust discussion with our Contractors and all for the better. Why did this robust discussion occur?So from the inception of the Works Management Process and the new maintenance contracts between July of 2012 to February 2013 there has been a significant amount of Wealth gained. And in truth we haven’t really scratched the surface yet.

Priority 3 moving to a priority 1Creation of Maintenance Health dashboard which incorporate what we have already done and include Setting Maintenance targets. This is the key deliverable for us as this is where we see the greatest gains being made in the overall operations.Continuous Improvement – is not about reacting to new idea. It is about understanding how any innovation/new idea/snake oil will provide wealth to your orginisation
