The Federal Highway Administration’s Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division has been actively involved over the past 10 years with the development of a process to maintain better control of its design project schedules. Three initiatives were undertaken during this time period. The first initiative involved a change in structural organization by establishing a strong project management concept from a project’s inception to its construction contract award. The second initiative recognized early on that a well-scheduled project eliminates many of the problems encountered during the design process. The resulting scheduling resource system became a valuable tool for the project managers. In the third initiative, a team developed a road map of the design process to better serve the division’s customers. After 10 years, customer satisfaction is improving, project schedules are under better control, and improvements to the design process have resulted in timely and cost-efficient projects.
