Case Study: Improving Maintenance Management

The development of the Maintenance Management Information System (MMIS) is a first for Main Roads resulting in a streamlined, integrated system that helps capture, manage, deliver and monitor maintenance works across our road network. Read More

The system provides two interfaces based on the needs of the user – a desktop application for maintenance planners and maintenance and asset managers and a touch screen application used by field crew undertaking a range of road maintenance activities.

The successful State wide roll out of MMIS has resulted in tangible benefits across the organisation including:

  • A standardised corporate view of maintenance management information across the State
  • Use of consistent State based Road Maintenance Intervention Protocols (RMIPs) and standardised lists of defects and treatments
  • A sustainable system support knowledge base achieved through regionally based group of super users which makes the training of new people easier
  • An ability to seamlessly integrate with other corporate systems

In addition MMIS supports:

  • Effective management of the road asset through the identification, prioritisation and planning of maintenance work
  • Identification of overdue resurfacing and rebuilding maintenance works
  • Accurate forecasting of when to do planned maintenance to minimise cost over the life of the road network
  • Improved and updated technical knowledge and skills to enable better road management

Used by over 300 road crew and office maintenance staff in the regions, MMIS is amongst the first of several planned management systems that will help us deliver better services to the community. The upcoming CONNECT and SPARKS systems will work alongside MMIS to capture customer feedback about faults on the network in real time, helping us mobilise our services and fix issues across our network quickly and safely with minimal disruption to road users.
