State and local municipality infrastructures include buildings, highways, and water and sewerage treatment plants. Public Works Departments (PWDs) operate and maintain these public facilities using a diversity of maintenance equipment, supplies, parts and fuels. PWD management structures evolve or are established to perform day-to-day tasks and handle their financial needs. Management structures vary according to department size, however, common to all PWDs is acknowledged personnel responsibilities that fall into three categories: a) administrative, b) management, and c) staff. An equipment management system to serve the responsibility needs of these three employee categories requires four modules: a) equipment inventory, b) maintenance and scheduling, c) parts and supplies management, and d) financial analysis options. Maintenance Equipment Management System (MEMS) is a software package sufficiently generic to meet the diversity in PWD management needs. This paper examines the interaction of PWD employees and illustrates management program tools and associated data files to serve PWD staff needs. Guidelines are given that identify training, organizational and hardware needs to successfully implement an equipment management system.
