This slide presentation outlines a case study of integrating geographic information systems (GIS) and CMMS at the Trinity River Authority of Texas. Project objective was to integrate GIS and CMMS to:
reduce data duplication by various departments;
increase data accuracy;
reduce costs;
increase access to asset information;
increase asset utilization;
improve productivity; develop efficient data summaries and analyses; and,
improve reliability / customer satisfaction. The Project Plan included:
Needs Assessment;
Review Existing Systems; Select Integrated Solution;
GIS Design; and,
Implementation. Conclusions were:
GIS, hydraulic model packages and CMMS are each designed to
fulfill purposes and functions that may overlap but are not
identical;
successful integration of GIS/Hydraulic Modeling/CMMS requires
careful planning following an organized process.
Trinity River Authority CRWS now has:
integrated inventory, inspection, work order data, and GIS
automated mapping;
integrated inventory data and hydraulic model;
standardized enterprise-wide information and management
tools; and, improved planning and problem solving.
