Rich Harris was the Director of the Center for Performance Excellence in the Pennsylvania Department of Transportatio
14、n. Even though retired, Rich kept active in AASHTO projects and was an avid member of the Standing Committee on Quality and a committed member of the Panel for this project. He was devoted to the concept of quality and performance excellence in transportation departments. His initial insights helped
15、 to guide this research, and the project lost a valuable asset upon his death in February 2006. This guide is dedicated to his memory, as it would be his wish that all transportation departments learn from each other and invest in quality practices to better serve their customers. 2007 by the Americ

17、ls (AASHTO), and conducted under the Transportation Research Boards National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 20-24(42), Guidelines for State DOT Quality Management Systems. The NCHRP is supported by annual voluntary contributions from the state Departments of Transportation. Wor
18、k under the Project 20-24 series is intended to address the concerns, support the decisions, and improve the effectiveness of top managers within those departments. This report was prepared by a team led by Oasis Consulting Services. The project was managed by Christopher Hedges, NCHRP Senior Progra
19、m Officer. Dr. T. J. Brown, Principal of Oasis, was the principal investigator for this project. Other authors of this report include Ruth Hallenbeck, Oasis Principal, Dr. Malcolm Baird, and Caryl Rice, both Senior Consultants with Oasis Consulting Services. The authors gratefully acknowledge the su
20、pport and desire to learn on the part of the AASHTO Standing Committee on Quality, which initiated this research, and the National Cooperative Highway Research Program which supported and funded it, in particular Dr. Anthony R. Kane, Director, Engineering and Technical Services and AASHTO Liaison to
21、 the SCoQ, and Mr. Christopher Hedges, NCHRP Staff Liaison. The Project Panel deserves much credit for the effort they expended on behalf of this project. While members of Oasis Consulting Services led the project research and authored this Guide, the members of this Panel contributed greatly by par
22、ticipating in almost all of the site visits, sharing their transportation experiences, and offering guidance as to what would be of use and interest to others. Lawrence Ferguson, from the Florida Department of Transportation and Mara Campbell, from the Missouri Department of Transportation went abov
23、e and beyond for this project, especially in light of losing two fellow panel members during the project timeframe. The authors thank all of the 45 responding DOTs and the individuals in those departments who took the time and made the effort to respond to the survey (in Appendix A). An 88 percent r
24、esponse rate is significant. Finally, special acknowledgemnt and appreciation is expressed for the contributions of the following individuals who shared their experiences, lessons learned, advice, and insights in support of this project:Arizona Department of TransportationJohn Bogert, Chief of Staff

INTRODUCTIONPURPOSE AND OVERVIEWThe intent of this research is to assist departments of transportatio
46、n (DOTs) in identifying and pursuing opportunities for enhancing organizational performance. The research involved asking DOTs, via written surveys and site visits to selected agencies, to describe their organizational improvement programs and practices and to assess the impact of these methods on p
47、erformance. The information gathered serves to document many specific “best practices” so that any DOTs desire to benchmark particular areas of interest can be expedited.The most important purpose of this research, however, is to provide a guide for CEOs and senior leaders to improve organizational
48、performance. To achieve this purpose we searched for common themes among the DOTs that reported the greatest strengths in their approaches to improvement. Much of this guide is devoted to describing the commonalities that were discovered so that other DOTs can know not only what the characteristics
49、of the best practices are, but also how the agencies approached the challenges of putting those practices in place. HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE This guide is meant to be used as a “toolbox.” Wherever you are in the organization you should be able to find something of value that will help you to improve the organizations effectiveness. The guide is organized in a way that you can read any section without reading the entire document. However, we
