Decision Analysis for Drainage Operation & Maintenance

 

Ø INTRODUCTION


   drainage network systems are considered an essential part of the urban water infrastructure, which have to be carefully operated and maintained in a rational, sustainable and scientifically based manner . Currently, however, many cities are being serviced by deteriorating drainage infrastructure which leaves communities vulnerable to unexpected catastrophic failures that disrupt not only drainage service but above-ground activities as well Owing to the importance of drainage networks in the functioning of society, the current state of the networks, and given the enormous cost of replacement of these systems, actions need to be taken to restore and/or improve the systems and to prolong their service-lives; these goals can be attained with the implementation of drainage asset management systems. Similar to other infrastructure asset management.

 Efficient information management is key to better decision-making in drainage asset management. Asset managers are required to assess critically their agency's operating environment and its competency. Moreover, they are required to make difficult decisions that have long-term and often critical consequences for their agency and/or stakeholders; decision-support tools will improve the accuracy and the soundness of their decisions.

This IACT training course will feature:

l  Breaking a problem down into its constituent parts or components, in the framework of a hierarchy

l  Establishing importance or priority to rank the alternatives is a comprehensive & general way to look at the problem in a formal manner

l  Application of multi criteria decision-making (MCDM) to practical problems in drainage network

l  Introduction to different operational research & management science methods

l  Enhance decision-making with goals and criteria about  drainage operation  issues & show how to measure and rank them

Ø Objectives

 

At this program's conclusion, participants should be able to:

l  Improve productivity through use of better, timelier information

l  Understand how world-class organisations solve common asset management problems about  drainage operation  issues

l  Optimise planning and scheduling resources, carry out optimised failure analyses in drainage operation  issues

l  Optimise asset management budgets by avoidance of unplanned equipment failures in service

l  Develop a practical approach of an action plan to utilise these technologies in their own areas of responsibility

 

Ø TRAINING METHODOLOGY


This training course will combine presentations with instructor-guided interactive discussions between participants relating to their individual workplace. Practical exercises, video material and case studies aiming at stimulating these discussions and providing maximum benefit to the participants will support the training.
