Phạm vi áp dụng / Scope of standard

Operations and maintenance, O&M, is distinguished from
project planning and development because the infrastructure is
already in place.

Certainly technical maintenance considerations should be an
integral part of the planning and design processes. However, MMS
focuses on keeping the infrastructure in optimum condition after it
is built and providing good customer service. In this respect, this
guide does not address major projects such as pavement overlays and
bridge reconstruction. These projects are more appropriately
addressed with the aid of Pavement and Bridge Management Systems.
(See companion guides developed for these systems.) However, the
need to integrate MMS with other infrastructure management systems
is apparent, and this guide discusses the need and importance of
MMS integration.

Fundamentally, MMS deals with managing the routine maintenance
and operations of the transportation system. MMS provides managers
with the business processes, management tools, and technologies to
maintain a safe, efficient, and convenient transportation system
over the life of the assets. This guide outlines the type of MMS
that will help each agency achieve these goals.

The guide promotes MMS as a management approach. As such, it
focuses heavily on business process. Business process and
technology should not be viewed as mutually exclusive endeavors.
Rather they should be viewed in an iterative fashion so that
maximum benefits can be achieved when business practices are
re-engineered.
