HIMA^TM Step 5 - Approach

What needs to be done and when?


Infrastructure networks are analyzed to produce a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Integrated analysis of water, sewer, and road networks can also be done, taking into account their high level of interaction is used to produce an Integrated Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP). The Harfan CIP and ICIP Builder modules put user-defined decision-making criteria to work to generat decision trees, algorithms, and predictive scenarios based on various levels of spending. The long term analysis can forecast investments required over a 5, 10, 20, 50, or even 100 year period and identify potential major expenditures. Before the Harfan CIP and ICIP Builder modules, it was
impossible to achieve these kinds of results.

Approach

• Produces an optimized, cost-effective capital plan, including scheduling, techniques and costs.

• Identifies repair priorities based on multicriteria analysis for cost-effective scheduling and project selection.

• Puts the expertise of a specialized firm to work to help develop solutions to specific network problems with a comprehensive CIP.

• Refines results and priorities based on criteria such as risk optimization, cost/benefit, impact, socioeconomic factors, level of service, and
  renewal policies.

• Once again, the Harfan CIP and ICIP module are calibrated according to the organization’s needs.
