Abstract:
To practice output management, a more transparent and balanced determination process and a higher quality of justification for nationally desired maintenance budgets were required by the government of the Netherlands. Output management aims at allocating and justifying resources in relation to social demands or desired performance. With the aim of integrating functional, economical, and technical considerations into a standardized and transparent management process, the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works, and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat) is in the last stages of developing an Infrastructure Maintenance Management System, named TISBO. This computer program integrates inspection registration and maintenance management to produce rationalized and justified short- and long-term maintenance programs and required maintenance budgets on a local, regional, and national level in a controlled and transparent fashion.
