MMS compliance tracking for Ontario municipalities

How do municipalities keep track of Minimum Maintenance Standards deadlines?

Municipalities keep Minimum Maintenance Standards deadlines under control by recording the road class, the discovery time and the applicable response window on the work order itself — then sorting the day by time remaining instead of by report order. PW Command adds that deadline layer on top of the work-order system a municipality already uses.

The problem this solves

Patrol sheets, phone calls and spreadsheets each hold part of the picture. Nothing in that chain tells a supervisor, before crews leave the yard, which defects expire today and which are already overdue.

What PW Command tracks

  • Patrol records by route, with the date and time each patrol was completed
  • Discovery time captured in the field, not reconstructed later
  • Road class inherited from the segment so staff are not asked to recall it
  • Response deadline calculated from the discovery time and the applicable window
  • Overdue and near-due flags on the work-order board
  • Geotagged before and after photos attached to the completed job

How a supervisor uses it

  1. 1.Open the board and read the overdue and expiring-today items first.
  2. 2.Assign crews with the qualifications and equipment the work requires.
  3. 3.Approve the plan — recommendations are proposals until a supervisor accepts them.
  4. 4.Close each job with completion time and photo evidence attached.
