December 8, 2008—LA Consulting, Inc. has been awarded a contract from the Port of Los Angeles to implement a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), the company announced.
The Port of Los Angeles, operated by the Harbor Department of the City of Los Angeles, comprises 43 miles of waterfront and about 7,500 acres of land and water. It’s the busiest port in the U.S. and 13th busiest container port in the world. More than $230 billion worth of cargo moves through the Port every year.
LA Consulting recently completed an extensive management audit that evaluated maintenance operations and identified opportunities to improve Port operations. All assets were evaluated, including roads, sewer and storm water lines, landscaping locations, storm water pump stations, emergency generators, elevators and 5 million square feet of buildings in 300 structures.
“By implementing a state-of-the-art CMMS, the Port will achieve integration of business practices, improve work efficiencies by using activity-based costing, develop work schedules and designate daily work activities, plan work, develop budget and resource needs, and better organize and maintain records,” said a Port spokesperson.
LA Consulting, established in 1993, provides a wide variety of planning, systems and technology services applied to public agencies and municipalities with an emphasis on systems implementation and technical support for public works operations and maintenance.
