Computerized Tree Trimming Program

Abstract

A computerized tree trimming program has been developed and implemented at Florida Power Corporation to give needed budget, productivity and work forecasting information. The program allows individual users at various work locations to request reports directly from the computer through the use of CRT terminals. The users can decide the variables to be printed in the report and what limits will be placed on the variables. For example, date trimmed, map number, estimated and/or actual manhours, etc. The system also determines contractor efficiency, utilization and productivity.
