Measures


Case:

Dashboard Reporting • Weekly output of field employee achievements

– Measure the completion rates of trash, recycling, littercan and scheduled (signed)

sweeping routes

– Include Human Capital counts to measure the required versus available resources


Case:

Dashboard Reporting

• Route efficiency reports provide weekly route and crew

measures of resources & outputs for trash and recycling

routes


Case:

Dashboard Reporting

• Service Level Agreement reports provide daily & weekly gauges of

how often city services meet their benchmarks for customer service

requests


Case:

Missed Collections

Report statuses can be generated comparing data across multiple interfacing systems

Weekly Closure Rates can be compared so that service level targets can be met


Case:

Route Optimization

• Reporting of collection performance before and after route

optimization

• GIS with RouteSmart used for optimization of key

recycling routes in mostly densely populated areas of DC

• Key indicators of the effectiveness of the Reroute include

number of crews deployed, collection time and overall

cost to service the areas


Case:

Container Services

Daily Status Reports are run to assess ‘Open’ Service Requests

Worksheets are generated by Type & District to assign work to crews

• Service requests are assigned & completed for delivering & repairing

containers by type


Case:

Right-Way-Mowing

• DPW is reimbursed by DDOT for mowing Right-of-

Way Locations

• Reporting of costs & metrics to support its

charges

– Cost details

– Acreage Mowed

– Crews working

– Labor hours

– Overtime

– Equipment hours

– Disposal tonnage
