Parks Maintenance Management System (Interim Computer Program and Documentation)

摘要

This technical manual provides park managers with the information necessary to construct and operate the Park Maintenance Management System (PMMS), an automated system useful for scheduling, controlling, coordinating, budgeting, and planning park maintenance functions. Central to PMMS is a mathematical model known as the 'optimal resource allocation sharing algorithm'' which takes data on past work achievement, resource limitations, and job priorities into account and projects optimal work schedules for both short - term and long - term planning. The model uses the following nine sets of information: calendar, resources, jobs, job components, resource - job component links, standards, trade offs, locations, and time estimates. This manual shows users how to construct the job control language to run each program (the load / update program, editor program, sharing program, and the report generator program), and how to process the special cases of an initial load, a what - if run, and a year - end update run. The manual also presents an overview of PMMS, instructions for operating the report generator program and sharing program, the size restrictions of, serious error messages for, and macroflow descriptions of, each program. Charts and tables are provided.
