FINAL REPORT

The Story of Our Cover:-

On our cover is a sketch of a sybil, which is a fountain. During the Ottoman Empire these were a common source of drinking water. A well is located at groundlevel and a balcony on the second level where children were taught the Koran. Usually located near mosques,sybils were built and then donated to the public byvarious benefactors.

Beneath the sketch is a quote from the Koran, "We made from water all living things".

0.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Under a contract dated April 6, 1978 with the

Ministry of Housing and Reconstruction, BVI-ATK Associates

have conducted management and tariff studies relative to

water and wastewater utilities in Egypt. The Management

Study consists of eight interrelated studies, each

involved with particular areas of management concern.

This Report documents the findings, conclusions and

recommendations developed relative to the physical assets

of the utilities.

Six categories of physical assets were reviewed

from a management perspective:

- Buildings and Offices

- Warehouses and Storage Yards

- Office Supplies and Equipment

- Supplies and Equipment for Operations and Maintenance

- Communications Equipment

- Transportation Equipment

Each was reviewed with respect to general suitability

and adequacy to support the utilities' present and

anticipated future expansions of services. The control

policies and maintenance practices for each category were

also studied with specific reference to:

- Record - keeping.

- Scheduling of preventive maintenance.

Page 10: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

0-2

- Decision making regarding repair versus replacement.

- Acquisition and disposal practices.

Recommendations have been developed which include

improvements that should be made pending implementation

of a new organizational structure (interim period), and

improvements which are longer range or are required to

properly support the new organizational structure during

the next ten years (long-term). Approximate amounts,

general types and estimated costs of additional assets

required during the next ten years have also been

developed for use in the valuation of future assets.

0.1 FINDINGS AND

CONCLUSIONS

Except for communications equipment, which is

inadequate, the assets available to the water and waste­

water utilities permit marginally acceptable levels of

service. Relatively, the assets of the wastewater

utilities are less adequate to meet future expansion

than are those of the water utilities. In both types

of utilities and at all locations many improvements can

and should be made by the existing organizations to provide

a higher level of service more efficiently and economically.

The improvements are basically in the area of instituting

more formal control systems and better tools for management

of all categories of physical assets.

Page 11: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

0.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

The principal recommendations of this Study are:

- Property management. Install a buildings andreal property inventory system as described inthe report to improve:

. Property accountability.

• Property management.

" Future planning.

-Preventive maintenance. Provide emphasis and resources to establish an effective program formaintaining the physical plant and other assetsof the utilities.

- Building and grounds housekeeping. Providecontinuing emphasis and interest to upgradeplant and local work conditions.

- Accountability. Require managers to acknowledgereceipt of office supplies and equipment,transportation equipment and other propertyunder their control on an annual basis.

- Acquisition and disposal. Initiate surveys todetermine new equipment needs for office,operations and maintenance, and transportationequipment. Institute programs to identify anddispose of excess and salvage property in a timely manner.

- Repair versus replacement. Install a systemto facilitate making decisions based on costsof repair versus replacement.

- Office supplies and equipment. Initiate a program of gradual modernization.

- Communications equipment. Procure and install two-way radio systems in the operating depart­ments on a priority basis to enable the utilitiesto provide more responsive and efficient service.

- Plantoperations support. Establish technicallibraries at operating plants and laboratories.

Page 12: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

0-4

- Operations and maintenance support.

" Provide complete, equipped shop facilities in all capital programs for new plants and plant expansions as required.

" Follow-through on procurement of tools andequipment recommended in engineering consulting studies.

The Report includes outline descriptions of several

recommended property management-related improvements:

- Inventory system

- Preventive maintenance program

- Buildings and grounds housekeeping program

- Repair versus replacement policy and procedures for transportation equipment

The additional physical assets required by the

utilities during the next ten years are projected to total

approximately LE 103 million divided approximately 56%

for the water utilities and 44% for the wastewater utilities.

This total includes approximately LE 27 million of expendable

office supplies and supplies for operations and maintenance

that would be used during the period.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Report is submitted by BVI-ATK Associates in

partial fulfillment of the April 6, 1978 Contract with

the Ministry of Housing and Reconstruction to perform

Management and Tariff Studies Felative to Water and

Sewerage Systems in Egypt. The studies are specifically

concerned with the utilities in six cities: Cairo and

Helwan, Alexandria, and the Canal cities of Port Said,

Ismailia and Suez. For the management portion, the

contract requires that eight studies be conducted of

various aspects of the water and wastewater utilities:

- Management Procedures - Alexandria Water General Authority

- Organizational Environment and Structure

- Personnel System

- Procedures and Methods

- Management Information Systems

- Physical Assets

- Data Processing

- Organization Manual

The Management Study is to culminate in recommended programs

for the development of the organizations or agencies to

meet the current and future operational and management needs of

water and wastewater systems through the year 2000.

Page 14: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

1-2

This Report summarizes and documents findings,

conclusions and recommendations relative to opportunities

for improvement in the management of those physical assets

used and required by the water and wastewater organizations

to meet their respective functional responsibilities,

and provides estimated requirements for additional future

assets. This Report is submitted to fulfill Task 5.3.8,

Physical Assets, as specified in the Scope of Work

contained in Appendix I to the Contract. Separate reports

have been submitted to cover other areas of management

concern.

1.1 BACKGROUND

Concurrent with the work under this contract,

engineering consultants have been engaged to develop ten

other water and wastewater-related projects including

the initial Waterworks and Wastewater Facilities Master

Plans for the six cities which are the subject of this

study. The Master Plans are in various stages of

completion. These documents have been used in the Management

Study as major sources of information.

1.2 SCOPE

The organizations which are the subject of detailed

analysis under the Management Study are shown in Table 1-1

on the following page. These are the existing organizations

responsible for water and sewerage activities in the six

cities at the present time.

The major categories of assets studied and specific

types of items included in each are shown in Exhibit 1.2.

The categories that have been specified to cover all

physical assets described in the Terms of Reference and

to facilitate this Study. The list of items is illustra­

tive but not all-inclusive. Selected major items were

investigated because of the lack of complete inventory

data for all categories of assets and the limited time

available for study.

The Physical Assets Task has included the following

scope of work:

- Review and analysis of the suitability and adequacy of the following physical assets of existing utility organizations:

* Buildings and Offices

* Warehouses and Storage Yards

Office Supplies and Equipment

Supplies and Equipment for Operations and Maintenance

Communications Equipment

Transportation Equipment

- Review and analysis of policies and practices followed in controlling and maintaining the

physical assets covering the following areas of concern:

• Keeping of records relating to the assets

" Scheduling of regular preventive maintenance

• Decision-making regarding repair versus replacement

• Acquisition and disposal practices

Page 17: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

1-5

- Recommended immediate action improvements that can or should be made in the presentlevels or types of physical assets, and the policies and practices to be used in controlling these physical assets in the existing organizations during the interim period until the new organizational structure selected is implemented.

- Estimates of the approximate amounts and general types of physical assets required to support the organizational structure of the utilities during the next ten years, an estimate of the approximate costs of additional assets required, and recommended policies and practices to be followed in controlling these assets.

Specifically excluded from this analysis are physical

assets which are generally classified as installed works

and equipment of the operating systems; i.e., the water and

sewage treatment plants, pumping stations, and distribution

or collection systems. Supplies consumed in plant operations,

such as alum and chlorine in water treatment, are also

excluded, but the storage facilities for such supplies

are included. Laboratory equipment and supplies and other

assets required for technical operations were excluded because

these are being evaluated under separate studies conducted by

engineering consultants. Procurement of supplies and physical

assets is discussed in the Procedures and Methods Report.

1.3 STUDY OBJECTIVES

The basic objective of this Study was to identify problem

areas related to physical assets and to propose improvements.

Generally, management is interested in providing adequate and

reliable services in a safe, economical and efficient manner.

The areas of management concern with respect to physical assets

specified in the Terms of Reference include:

Page 18: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

1-6

- Suitability and adequacy

- Record-keeping

- Preventive maintenance

- Repair versus replacement procedures

- Acquisition and disposal practices

A secondary objectivewas to develop estimates of

the approximate amounts, types and costs of additional

assets required to support the utilities during the next

ten years.

1.4 APPROACH

This analysis of physical a.3ets is based on:

- A review of documents prepared by consultants conducting Master Plans and related studies.

- Notes taken during field visits and interviews by team members relative to physical assets-related problems. Data collection has included visits with officials of the water and wastewater utilities and to offices, warehouses, treatment plants, pumping stations, storage yards, maintenance shops and such facilities as are used to support the administration, operations and maintenance of the utilities. Data gathering has been guided by the areas of management concern specified in the Terms of Reference to meet overall study objectives.

- Identification and collection of relevant information during field visits and interviews with utilities officials carried out by team members investigating areas of concern other than physical assets, particularly the team investigating procedures and methods. Combined team interviews were used to minimize interruptions.

- Identification and collection of selected documents from the appropriate organizations, e.g., the Five-Year Plan for Water Projects for Ismailia and Port Said and the Report of the Evaluation of the Capital of the GOGCWS, as of June 30, 1970.

Page 19: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

1-7

A list of the agencies interviewed and facilities

visited by the Study Team Leader is shown in Exhibit 1.3.

The basic approach followed in this Study has

been to:

- Obtain a thorough and complete understanding of the physical assets and related management practices as was possible in the time available.

- Request and obtain from the operating agencies all available information on physical assets.

- Review information on physical assets from all sources for the purpose of identifying problem areas.

- Study problem areas as required to enable development of feasible and practicable suggestions for improvement.

- Specify immediate action improvements in sufficient detail to ensure understanding and correct implementation.

- Identify and propose longer-term improvements to accompany the transition to the new organizational structure.

- Prepare preliminary budgetary-type estimates of the general types, amounts and approximate costs of additional assets required to support the utilities during the next ten years suitable for use in the valuation of future assets.

2.0 BUILDINGS AND OFFICES

This Section identifies problem areas with respect

to buildings and offices and discusses possible ways to

achieve improvements. Recommendations are provided to

include an estimate of additional assets required

during the next ten years. Because the primary focus

of data gathering has been on operating facilities, a

complete list of the 20 water treatment plants, giving

their capacities and selected information about associated

facilities, is provided in Exhibit 2.1 for convenient

reference. A similar list of the 12 principal wastewater

treatment plants and some of the large pumping stations

in the wastewater collection systems is provided in

Exhibit 2.2. Nevertheless, not all of the utilities

assets are located at the treatment plants and pumping

stations. There are also separate warehouse and storage

yard areas, and separate maintenance shops which are

important properties of the utilities. Assets at all

these locations as well as those at the utilities

headquarters have been considered in this study.

Page 26: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

2-2

2.1 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

2.1.1 Adequacy of Assets

The locations and general layouts of administrative buildings

and offices, workshops and garages, and vehicle maintenance shop

areas were reviewed during site visits and by review of all

information made available in other consultant reports and

provided by the utilities. Very little of the inventory data

requested was provided. It was concluded that such data are not

being compiled or used by the utilities and consequently, were

not available.

In general, considering the general level of overstaffing

that exists and the age of some buildings, all office space is

being effectively used. The treatment plants have adequate

administrative space. Space used for hallways, stairs, storage

closets and kitchens is not excessive. Based on the site visits

and a review of available data, it is concluded that with several

exceptions, buildings and offices are generally suitable and

adequate to support the utilities' functions. Exceptions include:

- Overcrowding exists in some of the headquarters offices of both the water and wastewater utilities.

- Some of the plants and stations do not have workshop facilities. (See Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2)

- Buildings at some of the sewage treatment works are in need of complete rehabilitation. (See Exhibit 2.2)

- Many of the workshops and other buildings have deteriorated because of poor maintenance. Unless corrected, this situation will eventually result in an inadequate condition.

- Inadequate vehicle servicing facilities at workshops; e.g. the lack of grease racks or pits at Ameria for servicing vehicles.

Page 27: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

2-3 At AWGA headquarters, a new administration building is being

constructed which will alleviate the overcrowding of present

facilities. A new building for GOSSD (Cairo) operations isi under con:ntruction. Overcrowded conditions were found to result in

part because the numbers of personnel assigned to some of the

headquarters offices are excessive.

Neglect of maintenance was found to be a serious problem

throughout the utilities. This will be discussed in Paragraph

2.1.2.2.

2.1.2 Control Policies and

Maintenance Practices

The principal findings relative to control policies and

maintenance practices are that improvements are needed in a number of problem areas to provide the basis foi better record­

keeping, preventive maintenance, and programs for analysis of

repair versus replacement for the utilities' buildings and offices.

2.1.2.1 Inventory and basic descriptive data for buildings

and related property assets are inadequate. Although a valuation

of buildings and construction of GOGCWS was made as of June 30,

1970 and annual updatings of the value are presumed to reflect

property additions and other changes during subsequent years, no

records are available to show the number of buildings which are

the property of the utility. This observation generally applies

to other water utilities and also to the wastewater utilities.

At headquarters no department is assigned responsibility for real

property and building management. At the plants most do not have

up-to-date site maps; none have the buildings and structures

numbered; and none could show a liJsting of the buildings comprising the plant. There appears to be only scattered recognition that

a complete inventory and control system for buildings and related

property assets would be useful in improving plant management

and facilitating future planning.

Page 28: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

The extent to which inventory data have been

prepared and are being used depends almost entirely on

the perception and concern for such matters by individual

managers. The information is generally available in an

incomplete and scattered form, and is available only to

the extent that the manager believes that it is needed.

This situation, for the most part, has created a

general posture of "doing without". In the absence of

a manager insisting on the need for and use of such data,

it is simply not prepared because the problems of the

day have grown to consume all available time and energy.

The lack of inventory data has been a handicap in

carrying out this Study.

The establishment of complete, accurate real

property building and office inventory data is an

important first step for effective management of

these assets.

2.1.2.2 Building and grounds maintenance is not

being done at an acceptable level on a regular basis.

Evidence of this is found in varying degrees at all

headquarters, plant and warehouse buildings by:

- Broken windows.

- Torn or missing screens.

- Exterior and interior paint peeling or flaking.

- Poor lighting and inoperable electrical fixtures.

Page 29: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

2-5

-Leaking water faucets, connections and toilets.

- Inoperable water fixtures.

- Unrepaired damage to buildings including cracks or holes in structures and broken steps in heavily used, poorly lighted stairwells.

- Absence of buildings and grounds preventivemaintenance (PM) program in most cases.

Lack of a good maintenance program is causing the

facilities of the utilities to deteriorate faster than

normal, and has a detrimental effect on employee morale

and pride in their place of work. A properly functioning

program would correct, this adverse trend and could be

expected to result in collateral benefits which accompany

improved morale.

2.1.2.3 Building housekeeping standards do not

exist; or if they exist, they are inadequate or are not

being enforced. Evidence of this problem may be noted

in many of the headquarters, plant and warehouse

facilities by:

- Trash and refuse or debris on floors and throughout the areas around buildings.

- Absence of a Janitorial staff, facilities and equipment.

-Absence of a building and grounds inspection program at most plants but especially at headquarters.

- Oily floors in standby electrical power generation buildings.

- No trash cans in plant area.

- No clean-up of scrap and waste around construction sites.

A conscientiously applied housekeeping program

throughout all facilities is necessary to remove safety

hazards and enhance employee morale. The development

in all employees of an attitude of care and pride in

their place of work is considered a major challenge to

management at all levels in the utilities'organizations.

This problem is apparently of such long standing

that its correction will require an extraordinary and

concerted effort from top management levels. It will

also require long-term attention.

2.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

2.2.1 Interim Period

2.2.1.1 Adequacy of assets. It is recommended that the

various instances of overcrowding be corrected through adjustment

of the available space at headquarters as the new organizational

structure evolves and as overstaffing is corrected.

The lack of facilities for vehicle servicing can

be solved by constructing several outside grease racks

using locally available material such as concrete, timbers

or welded metal. The racks should be large enough to

accommodate the largest vehicle and high enough for a

person to easily work underneath when the vehicle is on

them. Ramps leading to the rack should be constructed

and positioned to permit driving vehicles on and off safely.

Page 31: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

2-7

2.2.1.2 Control policies and maintenance practices.

Improvements are recommended in the policies and practices

with respect to management of buildings and office

property. The following recommendations will establish

a management system over this property through programs

which will improve accountability, preventive maintenance

and decision-making:

- Record-keeping. Institute a complete inventory of the real property to include buildings and offices; assign responsibility for property management and develop the information regarding assets that is essential for sound property management. (See Exhibit 2.3 for a recommended system.)

- Preventive maintenance. Institute a formal preventive maintenance program for all plants, buildings and grounds. Include with this program a concerted and continuing effort to upgrade housekeeping standards. (See Exhibits 2.4 and 2.5 for further details.)

- Repair versus replacement. Institute programsfor the systematic review and removal and/ormodernization and upgrading of outmoded or inadequate buildings and office facilities. Establish criteria for judging the economics of replacement versus repair or renovation of buildings.

- Acquisition or disposal. Perform annual reviews of facilities usage and requirements for additional space. Develop policies for acquisition or disposal based on current and projected needs, the capacity and suitabilityof existing assets, and economic considerations related to capital costs and maintenance expenses. Include in such reviews all unused buildings, e.g., the large, old building in the center of the western part of the Giza Water Treatment Plant and abandoned pumphouse buildings at the Abbassia Storage Yards.

(See the Procedures and Methods Report, Section 3.0

for further discussion of maintenance practices.)

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT -RECOMMENDED BUILDINGS AND REAL

PROPERTY INVENTORY SYSTEM

Inventory System

A complete, accurate inventory of assets is the

necessary first step to establish meaningful management

control and an effective preventive maintenance program

for plant facilities. Once established the inventory

should be kept current.

The starting point for such an inventory could be

the report of capital assets evaluation. In fact, an

annual capital evaluation report logically should be

derived from such an inventory. The inventory data

should be assembled in such a way that it can be easily

divided into groupings of assets for which a single

manager is assigned responsibility; e.g., all assets of

a water treatment plant and related pumping stations

should be considered as a single group.

Responsibility

Responsibility for management of the inventory,

including preparation and procedures to keep it current

should be assigned to a headquarters department. An

Asset Accounts Department is recommended for this purpose

in the Management Systems Report on Management Information

Systems. The cognizant department should issue necessary

guidelines and directives concerning when and how the

inventory should be conducted, and should prescribe the

Page 39: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

EXHIBIT 2. Page 2 of 6

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT -RECOMMENDED BUILDINGS AND REAL

PROPERTY INVENTORY SYSTEM

detailed contents of the inventory including descriptive

data. The use of a standard format for the inventory data

is suggested. The format should contain appropriate

detailed facilities, buildings and offices data which are

useful to managers at various levels in the preformance

of their planning, budgeting, and operations and maintenance

functions.

Maps

As a part of the inventory, up-to-date site or

station maps should be prepared showing property lines

and the location and identification of all improvements

including buildings, plant structures, roads, walks,

fences and walls. Site maps may be supplemented with

aerial and ground photographs, ana building floor plans.

The site information should be assembled in a convenient

form arranged to show the entire site followed by

increasing amounts of detail. The starting point for

this information are the site maps of the plants prepared

by the consultants who are developing master plans. Maps

of different scales are desirable for different uses.

For the inventory drawings, a scale of 1:1000 and

photographically reduced to a convenient standard size,

i.e., 300 x 420 mm is recommended. For planning future

property improvements, a scale of 1:250 is suggested.

Page 40: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

EXHIBIT 2.3 Page 3 of 6

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT -RECOMMENDED BUILDINGS AND REAL

PROPERTY INVENTORY SYSTEM

In addition to site maps and especially for the headquarters use, a smaller scale street map of the entire current and future service area, should be overprinted to show the locations of all plants, pumping stations and

similar property sites.

The Figure on Page 6 of this Exhibit shows the maps

which are used as a part of the system.

Arrangement of

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT - IMPROVEMENTS IN PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

To correct the deterioration of buildings and related

property assets of the utilities resulting from non-effective

preventive maintenance program, top level management

interest and emphasis should be provided together with

funding support to:

- Provide for personnel at the various locations or groups of locations to perform the buildings and grounds maintenance, or

- Enable contracting with outside sources to perform buildings and grounds maintenance services on a continuing basis.

Both of these approaches may be used, depending

on location, personnel restrictions, workload, cost and

local considerations.

In either case, but especially if it is decided to

use in-house resources, consideration should be given

to establishing a Facilities Engineer staff position at

each treatment plant and major pumping station, or groups of

plants and stations, together with a similar position on the

headquarters staff of each utility to provide technical

coordination and guidance. The Facilities Engineer should

report to the Plant Manager. Separate technical coordination

should be established between the Facilities Engineering staff

at each plant and the headquarters Facilities Engineering staff.

Page 45: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

EXHIBIT 2.4 Page 2 of 2

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT - IMPROVEMENTS IN PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

The Facilities Engineer should be assigned the

responsibility for:

- Building maintenance.

- Housing maintenance.

- Grounds maintenance.

- Custodial services.

- Maintenance of roads and surfaced areas.

- Maintenance of walls and fences.

- Irrigation and drainage.

All personnel assigned to perform work for which

the Facilities Engineer has responsibility should be

under his supervision and control.

Regardless of the approach selected, top management

interest and concern should continually be given to this

problem area. Some of the ways that this could be done

include:

- Advising the organization that improvements are expected.

- Inspections and visits.

- Use of property maintenance conditions as a measure of manager performance.

- Ensuring continuing budget support at reasonable levels.

(See the Procedures and Methods Report, Exhibit 3.4,

for further discussion of facilities engineering.)

EXHIBIT 2.5

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT-IMPROVEMENTS IN BUILDING AND GROUNDS HOUSEKEEPING

A conscientiously applied housekeeping program

throughout all facilities is recommended as necessary to

remove safety hazards and enhance employee morale.

Implanting in all employees an attitude of care and pride

in their place of work is a major challenge to management

at all levels.

This is such a long-standing problem that its

correction will require an extraordinary and concerted

effort emanating from top management levels. It will

also require long-term attention.

To start a corrective program the following suggestions

are offered:

- Prior publicity of objective and declaration of a utility-wide annual "clean-up, put-it­where-it-belongs and repair-it-now" week. Budget to support this effort.

- Installation of trash receptacles in office buildings.

- Coordination of daily building clean-up and trash removal times to insure a clean building every morning.

- Initiation of an annual award to the "best plant", "best office" or "best maintenance shop" as a means of obtaining interest in raising standards.

(See the Procedures and Methods Report, Paragraph 3.2,

for further recommendations concerning building and grounds

housekeeping.)

Page 47: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

3.0 WAREHOUSES AND STORAGE YARDS

Both the water and wastewater utilities systemsuse

of separate, dispersed warehouses and storage yards, and

smaller stores buildings, supply or parts rooms or storage

areas at the principal operating plants and stations.

Chemical stocks for water treatment are generally stored

at the operating plants. Warehouses and storage facilities

are important assets in the logistical support systems.

This Section reviews the suitability and adequacy, and

control policies and maintenance practices with respect

to these assets. The Section also includes recommendations

for improvements and estimates of future needs.

3.1 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

3.1.1 Adequacy of Assets

The systems in use have merit and will become

increasingly important as the utilities expand their

operations. Water utilities in the Canal cities benefit

from relatively strong back-up logistical support from the

Suez Canal Authority. Overall the current systems may have

been suitable and adequate at an earlier time, but the

logistical situation has been changing (as have the

service areas) and can be expected to undergo significant

changes in the future which will probably make the existent

marginal support inadequate. Effective, responsive and

economical operation of logistical support activities

is critical to the utilities in successfully providing the

Page 48: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

3-2

services for which they are responsible. The findings of

this Study of these assets are that improvements are

needed in the two problem areas identified in the following

paragraphs:

3.1.1.1 Warehouses and storage yards are becoming increasingly inadequate with respect to space and

distribution. Evidence of the need for additional storage

space is indicated by several factors:

-Large amounts of uncrated spare parts are scattered throughout the warehouse and operating areas.

- Chemicals for water treatment are beingstored in congested plant areas. Reportedstock-outs of essential chemicals suggestthe need for stocking larger quantities.

- All warehouse managers queried cited anddemonstrated a need for additional warehouse space.

- Repair parts inventories will continue toincrease as new plants are constructed and put into operation.

- Offices at some storage locations are crampedand poorly equipped to carry out any increased level of activity.

A corollary problem is that some repair parts and plant

components have been placed in open areas where they have

remained for periods of months or years without being

uncrated or inspected. Deterioration of markings may cause

problems in identification of the items, and prior and

continued exposure may have caused serious damage to the

items themselves.

Page 49: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

3-3 Evidence of a need for better strategic locations of the

warehouses and storage yards is indicated by: -The fact that existing properties in most cases are located in older areas to support

then existing plants, service areas andpopulations. These requirements have been changing.

-A need for better distribution as expressedby headquarters-level officials and advocatedby operating officials. (Officials of GOGCWSindicated that they are planning to establish a new warehouse to facilitate distribution.The proposed location and utilization of the new facility have been reviewed.)

- The anticipated further rapid expansion ofwater and wastewater systems into new areasand construction of new treatment plants at new locations.

The situation developing as a result of the emerging

master plans, programs for new facilities construction,

and the large number and types of stocked items in the warehouse system appears to offer opportunities for

improvements in the warehouse operations which should be carefully evaluated because of significant potential cost

savings, especially in Cairo.

3.1.1.2 Warehouse and storage yard layouts are not

optimum for operating efficiency. This problem does not exist at all yards; however, it is pronounced in certain

facilities where the storage facilities are co-located with an operating plant. For example, the problem at Ameria is

evident from the following observations:

- Access to the warehouse and maintenance shopsis through the plant area.

- There are no directional signs or an established traffic pattern.

- Roads through the plant to the warehouses are

paved and not well maintained.

- Access to the meter shop is by footpath only.

Page 50: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

3-4

- Space around buildings is cluttered with discarded items and rubbish.

- Storage yards contain excessive quantitiesof unclassified, discarded and unservicable parts, including vehicles and packingmaterials from new parts shipments which are not being disposed of in a timely manner.

The adequacy of the warehouse system can be improved by

careful study of the warehouse operations and existing

facilities with the objective of making the system as

efficient as possible.

3.1.2 Control Policies and

Maintenance Practices

The problems of record-keeping, property accountability,

preventive maintenance and housekeeping discussed in Paragraph

2.1.2 also were noted at warehouses and storage yard

locations of both the water and wastewater utilities.

In general the warehouses and storage yards of the sewage

treatment plants and pumping stations have fewer problems

than the water utilities because fewer items of equipment

and materials were found. This situation reflects in part a

lower level of operations than the water utilities. While

many of the water treatment plants are operating with outputs

above their rated capacity, all of the sewage treatment plants

are failing to meet their design objectives. This situation

is expected to change as sewerage services are upgraded and

expanded. In Cairo, for example, funds for implementation of

top priority projects in the Greater Cairo Wastewater Master

Plan have been identified. Consequently the major impacts on

the warehouses and storage yards will be felt in the future

as the new projects are completed and new facilities put in

operation.

Page 51: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

3-5

3.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

3.2.1 Interim Period

3.2.1.1 Adequacy of assets. While the warehouses

and storage yards are generally suitable and adequate

to support the current level and mode of operations,

there are improvements which should be made to increase

efficiency:

- Develop a plan for better utilization of available space, considering:

. Improvements in access routes according to a directed traffic pattern.

. Paving of storage areas and roads.

" Removal of excess items and rubbish.

. Building modifications, e.g.,installation of warehouse doors, shelving and bins, and loading ramps.

- Establish salvage and property disposal areas to facilitate segregation, control and disposal of excess and salvage property;e.g.,similar to the enclosed area for this purpose at the Ameria Sewage Pumping Station.

- Issue instructions on disposal and salvage and implement a program of inspection and follow-up reports. This aspect of inventory management will be dealt with in the Procedures and Methods Report.

3.2.1.2 Control policies and maintenance practices.

The control policies and maintenance practices described

in Paragraph 2.2.1.2 are applicable to warehouses and

storage yards.

Page 52: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

3-6

3.2.2 Long-Term

3.2.2.1 Adequacy of assets. Because of planned

significant expansions of the utilities systems and the

increasing importance of logistical support to satisfactory

operations and maintenance, detailed studies of warehouse

operations are required, particularly in the Cairo area

because of its large size. Studies of both the water and

wastewater warehousing systems are recommended. The studies

should derive the optimum mode of warehouse configuration and

operations based on careful analysis of:

- The full range of stores items in the supply system.

- The locations of treatment plants, pumpingstations and other operating facilities to be supported.

- The consumption rates of supplies, repair parts and materials required by the operating facilities.

-The storage practices at each warehouse and storage yard, considering the following factors:

Indoor or outdoor storage.

• Bulk or packaged.

. Degree of protection required.

Quantities being handled.

* Frequency of storage.

Storage and handling facilities required.

Applications of these factors will vary between Cairo, Alexandria and the Suez Canal sites.

- Transport modes and types of vehicles and materials handling equipment available for:

. Incoming shipments.

. Outgoing shipments.

Page 53: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

3-7

Factors involved in the selection of materials handling equipment include:

• Design of the equipment.

" Flexibility of the equipment.

" Type of power.

" Maintenance and repair requirements.

" Standardization.

" Training required.

- The locations of present main and subsidiary warehouses and storage facilities and the availability of real estate both at existing facilities and at other locations if it is considered more advantageous to establish a warehouse at a new site.

Estimates of the requirements for warehouses and storage

yards during the next ten years are shown in Table 3.1 on the

following page. Detailed development of the projections is

explained in Appendix 1.

3.2.2.2 Control policies and maintenance practices.

Implementation of the recommendations outlined in Paragraph

2.2.1.2 will provide the required control policies and property

management tools, including an adequate preventive maintenance

program, to meet the needs of the utilities during the next

ten years.

4.0 OFFICE SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT

The snpcific types of assets included in the category

of office supplies and equipment include furniture,

typewriters, copying machines, expendables for office

operations, drafting room equipment, and library and

library equipment. This Section evaluates the adequacy

of th. se assets, the control policies and preventive

maintenance procedures used with respect to them, and

makes recommendations for improvements. Projected

requirements foi' office supplies and equipment are provided.

4.1 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

4.1.1 Adequacy ot' Assets

Office supplies and equipment (except for furniture

items) are very limited throughout the organizations.

Under the present mode of operation, the requirements

for typewriters, filing cabinets and office expendables

are minimal. Many of the forms used at the plants and

warehouses are designed and used for handwritten entries.

Most of the drafting equipment in use is very old. No

library facilities or equipment were found at the water

and wastewater treatment plants. Deficiences noted with

respect to the adequacy of these assets are:

Page 56: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

- Some furniture items are worn out.

- Some furniture items are outmoded and are not the best type available for modern office use:

" Large overstuffed chairs

" Sofas

• Oversized wall cabinets which are not efficient in the use of space

- Inadequate facilities for map storage

- Worn-out or missing drafting room equipment

- Inadequate library facilities

- Lack of certain office equipment. particularly copying machines and typewriters at various headquarters

4.1.2 Control Policies and

Maintenance Practices

In general the control over office supplies and

equipment appears to be very informal. There are no

written procedures or guidelines. Principal findings are:

- Responsibility for equipment and supplies is not clearly assigned.

- There is no working program for replacement of outmoded or worn-out office equipment and furniture items.

- There is no effective maintenance program for office furniture and equipment.

Page 57: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

4.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

4.2.1 Interim Period

4.2.1.1 Adequacy of assets. For the deficiencies noted,

the following corrective actions are recommended:

-Conduct surveys to determine replacement items and new equipment and supplies needed for office and drafting functions. Procure needed items.

-Procure additional copying machines and typewriters for the headquarters offices.

- Develop improvements in the arrangement of office furniture and in the filing of documents. For example, install a system of hanging files for working drawings and maps. Such a system may be fabricated using pairs of thin wooden slats onemeter long fastened together with removable screws. A series of drawings can be securely fastened to the slats by inserting one edge of the drawingsbetween the slats and fastening the slats togetherwith three screws. Slats can be numbered and anindex prepared to identify all map sheets in each set of slats. The slats can be hung on racks along a wall. A flat surface covering the lower racks could serve as a convenient area for working withthe maps. Originals or record copies should be stored flat, protected from dust in cabinets andhandled only when necessary. (See the Procedures and Methods Report, Section 6.0, for further discussion of mapping and record-keeping.)

- Establish technical libraries at the operatingplants. (See Exhibit 14.1 for details.)

4.2.1.2 Control policies and maintenance procedures.

The following improvements are suggested:

-Institute a property accountability system wherebyoffice managers are required to acknowledge receiptfor the equipment in their offices. Receipts forthe property should be renewed every 12 months.

-Initiate a program for inspection, repair and gradualreplacement of office furniture. Include in this program a redistribution of serviceable or excess filing cabinets, desks and chairs.

Page 58: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

4-4

- Institute a program for performing preventive maintenance on all office equipment using:

" In-house resources, and/or

" Contract services as may be necessary for specialized and new equipment such as copying machines.

4.2.2 Long-Term

4.2.2.1 Adequacy of assets. Employee effectiveness and

operational efficiency would benefit by gradual modernization

of the offices, consistent with the requirements of the

Egyptian environment (e.g., reliability of electrical power)

and the availability of equipment service. The importance of

modernization will increase as the utilities expand their services.

The introduction of typewriters and copying machines at

the operating plants is recommended to facilitate plant

correspondence, dissemination of written information and clari­

fication of records. Requirements should be determined on a

work unit-by-work unit basis with cost effectiven,ss as the

primary factor to be considered.

Furniture items including some desks, filing cabinets,

chairs and wall cupboards, while serviceable, are generally

old and not very efficient for the limited office space. These

items should be phased out and replaced with modern office

equipment.

Estimates of the requirements for additional office supplies

and equipment during the next ten years are shown in Table 4.1

on the following page. Detailed development of the projections

is explained in Appendix 1.

4.2.2.2 Control policies and maintenance procedures.

Development of more formal written policies and procedures

for the control and maintenance of office supplies and

equipment assets is recommended to include:

- Record-keeping. Institute an accountability system which includes a complete physical inventory of office property and the requirement that each operating manager acknowledge receipt on an annual basis of all equipment used by his office.

- Preventive maintenance. Initiate a system for the periodic check-up, servicing and adjustment of office machines such as typewriters and copying machines. For new equipment include servicing as a part of procurement.

- Repair versus replacement and acquisition and disposal. Prepare written guidelines which provide policies, instructions, criteria and conditions which are the bases for making decisions regarding repair versus replacement and acquisition and disposal of various types of office equipment. Guidelines should cover:

* Inspections to determine serviceability.

* Justification required for replacement or purchase of additional new items.

Procedures for salvage or disposal of worn-out, unserviceable, outmoded or unsatisfactory items.

Page 61: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

EXHIBIT 4.1

ESTABLISHMENT OF PLANT LIBRARIES

An additional opportunity for improvement of the

administrative support of plant operations was noted

during field visits. It was observed that whereas GOSSD

apparently has a central technical library in the

headquarters building, no usable library facilities

were found at the plants visited. Unless reference

materials are readily available, operating and laboratory

personnel are handicapped in the performance of their

duties. Consequently it is suggested that smaller

libraries be established at each plant and laboratory.

Existing facilities may be used where adequate

space is available. Plans for new facilities should

provide for library space.

If central control of library material is desired,

the central (headquarters) library can maintain a card

file of all books and reference materials so that these

items can be located when needed.

One method of stocking the libraries would be to

have individuals who go abroad for training select and

purchase appropriate materials.

(See the Procedures and Methods Report, Exhibit 1.2,

and References of the Exhibits for Section 6.0 of the

Personnel Systems Report for a basic list of books and

reference materials. Manufacturers' literature and reference

material should also be considered for plant libraries.)

Page 62: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

5.0 SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT FOR OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

In terms of quantities and diversity of items and

total cost, the assets required to operate and maintain

the water and wastewater utility systems greatly exceed

those for any other category. Major types of items include

spare and replacement parts, materials handling and power

operated equipment and machines (for plants, warehouses,

shops and pipeline systems), tools, shop and garage

equipment, and facilities for storing and handling fuels

and lubricants. (See Exhibit 1.2). Both the water and

wastewater utilities require supplies and equipment to

operate and maintain widely dispersed treatment plants,

pumping stations and pipeline systems as well as the

warehouses, supply yards, vehicle maintenance shops,

administrative offices and other support facilities.

This Section presents the findings, conclusions and

recommendations resulting from review of these assets and

provides a projection of ten-year needs.

5.1 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

5.1.1 Adequacy of Assets

5.1.1.1 Water utilities. Several problem areas

relative to the adequacy of supplies and equipment for

Page 63: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

5-2

operations and maintenance have been noted:

- Non-availability of critical spare parts

- Lack of materials handling equipment

- Lack of tools

- No facilities for cleaning, maintenance and storage of tools

- Poorly equipped maintenance shops, notably for vehicle servicing and repairs

These problems, to a greater or lesser degree, were

voiced by plant managers, engineers and other supervisors

or were observed during visits to plants and maintenance

shops for mechanical and electrical equipment, vehicles,

and water meters in Alexandria, Cairo, Ismailia and

Port Said.

Concern for shortages of critical spare parts for

operating equipment was expressed at several levels of

management indicating that these problems are being

observed and are being dealt with by management.

Management also appears to be aware (or is being made

aware) of inadequacies in equipment, tools and shop

facilities and there is evidence that some corrective

actions are being taken. For example, the Five-Year Plans

for Water Projects obtained during field visits to

Ismailia and Port Said contain a number of general

purpose facility and maintenance-related items as shown

in Table 5.1.

Further, the Waterworks and Wastewater Facilities

Master Plans being prepared for Ismailia and Port Said

suggest operations and maintenance tools, equipment,

supplies and vehicles which should be obtained on a

priority basis. (See Exhibits 5.1 and 5.2.) It appears

that this area has been studied and corrective actions

are being proposed to remedy the inadequacy of supplies

and equipment for operations and maintenance functions.

Page 65: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

5-4

5.1.1.2 Wastewater utilities. Relative to water

production operations, sewage treatment operations are

small. Gauged in terms of treatment plants, for the areas

studied, there are 20 operating water treatment stations

compared to 5 or 6 operating wastewater treatment plants

out of a total of 12. The prevalent situation with

respect to the operations and maintenance of the sewage

treatment plants is that the plants are basically designed

and operated for primary treatment only (except the

Zenein and Alexandria plants) and all are either:

- In such a state of disrepair that majorreconstruction and renovations or modifications are necessary to enable the plants to produce an acceptable effluent, or

- Are operating at flows in excess of rated capacity and in such a manner that the degree of treatment is below the level for which the plant was designed.

In addition, the sewage collection systems are characterized

as grossly overloaded, half-filled with sand and inadequate

to meet service requirements. Despite these inadequacies,

the sewerage utilities continue to make service hook-ups.

The effects of these conditions on requirements

for materials and equipment needed for operations and

maintenance are:

- Few treatment plants in the system and even fewer in service has resulted in reduced comsumption of supplies and low utilization of equipment.

Page 66: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

5-5

- The low level of operations and the consequent low demand for plant supplies and equipment has resulted in a reduced supply system which appears to be adequate to handle the present job.

- The gross inadequacy of the collection system and the continuing requirement to make service hook-ups has forced the attention of the operating utilities into almost daily corrections of recurring sewer blockages, overflows and local flow-related problems.

The key problem in the sewerage utilities - that

existing facilities are inadequate to meet current and

projected flows - has been recognized by engineering

consultants and is being addressed through major capital

expenditures for new facilities under programs for

selective implementation of the master plans.

The sewerage systems are in the midst of rapid

growth and general upgrading to secondary treatment

levels. This correction affords the opportunity to

adjust the operations and maintenance activities of the

utilities. An initial stock of supplies and equipment

to operate and maintain the new facilities is being

provided with the new facilities. The specific provisions

in the capital expenditure programs for new facilities

should be carefully reviewed with respect to supplies

and equipment for operations and maintenance as the

projects in the program are established. The following

items, if not included in the budgets, should be obtained

through other sources in order to enable the new facilities

Page 67: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

5-6

and equipment to be operated and maintained properly:

-Equipment operations and maintenance manualsparts lists and related services publications.

-Adequate record drawings of all new facilities.

-Provision of complete support facilities, where appropriate, such as offices, laboratories, workshops with equipment, vehicles, communication equipment and warehouses.

- Sufficient spare parts and spare units to keep the equipment operating for at least five years.

- Specifications for all required lubricants. Sufficient lubricants initially to fill all lubricant reservoirs and replace consumptionduring the start-up period.

- All special tools required to service and maintain the equipment.

5.1.2 Control Policies and

Maintenance Practices

Problems of control policies primarily relate to

record-keeping, and acquisition and disposal practices.

There are no written guidelines for such control over

assets. Evidence of problems is indicated by the large

quantities of repair parts and salvage components which

are accumulating in the plants and storage yards, and

the shortages of critical supplies and equipment needed

for operations that were reported during plant visits.

Improvements are needed primarily in inventory management

and disposal practices.

5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

5.2.1 Interim Period

5.2.1.1 Adequacy of assets. Deficiencies of supplies

and equipment for operations and maintenance do exist but

appear to have been identified through the technical

studies conducted under the master plans or to have

otherwise been recognized by management as discussed

in Paragraph 5.1. A program of follow-through action

should include systematic review, financing and

implementation of the improvements which have been suggested.

6.0 COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

Good communcations are essential for effective

management and control, and efficient service. Poor

communications have an adverse effect on the capability of

the utilities to provide responsive and efficient service.

Requirements for communications equipment arise from the

needs of the utilities to properly respond to emergencies,

to monitor the movements of maintenance and inspection

teams, and to perform normal administrative and logistical

functions and services. This Section evaluates and

presents the findings, conclusions, recommendations and

projected ten-year needs with respect to communications

equipment for the utilities.

6.1 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

6.1.1 Adequacy of Assets

Most of the managers interviewed characterized the

existing communications systems as inadequate and cited

the lack of a reliable system as a major handicap to more

efficient operations in both the water and wastewater

utilities. An improved system is perceived to be an

essential step torward:

- Overall service improvements.

- Reduction in time to repair pipeline hreaks.

- Reduction in the number of people needed to accomplish the same level of work.

- More effective and efficient utilization of the current operations and maintenance staffs.

Page 76: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

6-2

Nearly all operating facilities visited rely primarily

on an inadequate telephome system and use messengers to

supplement the telephone. Where intra-headquarters or

intra-plant telephone service has been installed it is

reported to be satisfactory.

The importance of communications is illustrated by

the situation at GOSSD (Cairo). The Cairo area is divided

into five zones to facilitate operational control. These

zones are futher divided into a total of 20 sub-zones or

districts from which the work crews operate. These crews

have sewer cleaning rods and hand tools, which are usually

transported to a problem area on a bicycle. If other

equipment is needed, such as trucks with pumps, high power

cleaning tools, excavation or lifting equipment, these

items must be requested. This back-up support to the 20

districts is limited and is under centi'al control. Because

of the scattered nature of the work, the limited avail­

ability of skilled workers with modern equipment and the

typically large number of sewer problems which occur each

day, good communications (from work crew to the district

office, to the zone office and to the General Director level)

are very important for efficient, responsive operations.

Nevertheless, GOSSD (Cairo) currently has no alternative

to the public telephone, other than messengers. The lack

of a utility-owned communciations system makes its

performance of daily operations and maintenance more

difficult.

Page 77: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

6-3

6.1.2 Control Policies and Maintenance Practices

No problems were found in the control policies and

maintenance practices for communications equipment.

6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

6.2.1 Interim Period

6.2.1.1 Adequacy of assets. The lack of adequate

communications equipment is unlikely to be resolved in

the near future through telephone improvement programs

outside of the utilities thenselves. Consideration should

be given to dedicated two-way radio systems for the

utilities with the following priorities:

- Priority 1: Communications system for conduct and control of networks and collection system operations.

- Priority 2: Communications system between treatment plants and central stores (main warehouses).

- Priority 3: Communications system between projects and headquarters offices.

- Priority 4: Communications system between projects and headquarters offices.

Communications system within treatment plants. (Also consider telephone.)

Communications system within headquarters offices. consider telephone.)

(Also

Page 78: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

It is envisioned that the radio system for each utility

would include a centrally located control station (base station),

vehicular-mounted units and portable units to include small

walkie-talkie sets. The operations of each utility should be studied in greater detail to determine the specific types and

quantities of sets. The number and geographic dispersion of

operating elements, and the mode of operations would affect the

specific requirements.

While less critical from an overall service improvement

standpoint than the need for a flexible two-way radio system,

the operational efficiency benefits of utility-.installed,

intra-plant and intra-headquarters paging and telephone systems

suggest that these systems, where not already installed, should

be included in the respective facilities. The initiative of

the plant staff, such as that observed at the Mostorod Water

Treatment Plant, to expand intra-plant telephone service based

on their operational experience should be considered.

6.2.1.2 Control policies and maintenance practices. A

training program in proper operations and maintenance procedures

should be implemented together with the phased installation of

the two-way radio systems. (See the Personnel Systems Report,

Paragraph 6.2.3.1.)

provide the required control policies and property management

tools, including an adequate preventive maintenance program, to

meet the needs of the utilities during the next ten years.

Page 81: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

7.0 TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT

Transportation equipment includes automobiles,

bicycles, buses, motor trucks, motocycles, repair vehicles

and other motorized vehicles used on the road. This

Section summarizes the findings, conclusions and recommenda­

tions regarding the adequacy, the control policies and

preventive maintenance procedures, and the projected

ten-year needs for these assets.

7.1 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

7.1.1 Adequacy of Assets

The types and amounts of transportation equipment

appear to be suitable and adequate for current operations.

Reasonably adequate service is being provided with the

current level of assets. Although some new equipment was

observed during plant visits, a number of complaints were

heard concerning the serviceability of assigned vehicles.

Inventory data provided by the utilities confirm that some

of the vehicles are old and marginally serviceable or

unserviceable. For GOSSD (Cairo), 96 of 369 vehicles (26%)

were indicated by the utility to be unserviceable or less

than 50% serviceable. For AWGA, 54 of 171 vehicles (32%)

were reported as scrap or useless. The GOSSD (Cairo)

inventory includes 21 different makes of vehicles, all of

foreign manufacture. These data confirm the general

observations made during visits to operating sites.

Page 82: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

7-2

Shortages of transport vehicles have a more serious

impact in the maintenance of networks and collection

systems than in the operations of treatment plants and

pumping stations. Therefore, priority for any additional

transportation equipment should go to networks and collection

systems.

In general, the type of vehicle preferred is a half­

ton or three-quarter ton pick-up truck which can be used

for hauling workers and equipment. The number of vehicles

required should be based on the organization's workload

and area of responsibility. Improved communications

equipment would reduce the need to increase the amount of

transportation equipment.

Factors to be considered in the selection of additional

or replacement units would include:

- Distance and time of travel.

- Initial and operating cost.

- Maintenance and repair requirements.

- Standardization.

7.1.2 Control Policies and Preventive Maintenance Practices

Inventory and control practices over transportation

equipment appear to be adequate. Preventive maintenance

practices are only marginally acceptable.

The primary problem with transportation equipment is

that no program for systematic acquisition and disposal is

evident. Items are being repaired and kept in service

indefinitely, with the result that the average age continues

to increase.

Page 83: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

7-3

Some confusion over the conditions for disposal of

vehicles may exist at the operating levels; some managers

reported that disposal was possible only through resale

at a price high enough to pay taxes on the vehicle; others

stated that this condition was not required for disposal.

In practice, regardless of age or condition, vehicles are

not being removed from the records but rather are being

revaluated and retained either in service or in an

inoperable status, in which case they occupy valuable space

in the storage yards.

Page 84: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

7-4

7.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

7.2.1 Interim Period

7.2.1.1 Adequacy of assets. Interim improvements

can be made through better maintenance practices, and

to the extent practicable, standardization of assets.

Persistent interest, assistance and follow-up by head­

quarters staffs is recommended.

7.2.1.2 Control policies and maintenance practices.

Written control policies and practices should be established

in the same general manner as for office supplies and

equipment. Record-keeping and preventive maintenance

policies exist but are not published. This study has

shown that while repair versus replacement guidelines,

and acquisition and disposal instructions may exist, they

are not well known at the operating level and in any case

are not effective in maintaining the fleet. Repair versus

replacement policies and practices should be established

which consider cost as a key factor in the decision. A

suggested policy and procedure is outlined in Exhibit 7.1.

7.2.2 Long-Term

7.2.2.1 Adequacy of assets. An estimate of

transportation equipment required during the next ten

years is shown in Table 7.1 on the following page.

Detailed development of the projections is explained in

Appendix 1. The projections are conservative and are based

on an adequate vehicle maintenance program.

7.2.2.2 Control policies and maintenance practices.

Implementation of the recommendations outlined in

Paragraph 7.2.1.2 will provide for gradual upgrading of

transportation vehicles.

For further improvements in the effectiveness and

efficiency of vehicle maintenance, the maintenance function

should be centralized within each utility. Implementation

of the centralization program should include expansion and

upgrading of maintenance shops and procurement of more

modern tools and equipment for servicing and repairs.

Page 87: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

EXHIBIT 7.1 Page 1 of 5

REPAIR VERSUS REPLACEMENT POLICY

Need For A Policy

Decisions regarding repair versus replacement of

major items of equipment are apparently made by top

management on the basis of personal experience and

judgment. This approach leads to erratic decisions and

unnecessary involvement of top managers in detailed

decision-making. A rational policy for repair versus

replacement should be established so that decisions are

made consistently and at a lower level in the organization.

Top management could then limit itself to setting policy

and considerations of exceptions to policy.

Scope

Repair versus replacement policy should apply to

major items like trucks that must be overhauled periodically

at considerable expense. Routine day-to-day maintenance

should not be included.

Factors To Consider

In deciding whether to repair or to replace, the

age of the item, the estimated cost of repairs to return

it to serviceable condition and the replacement cost are

the key information that must be determined. Age is

important since it makes little economic sense to spend

more repairing an item than it is worth when repairs are

complete. Repair costs, including labor, administrative

Page 88: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

EXHIBIT 7.1

Page 2 of 5

REPAIR VERSUS REPLACEMENT POLICY

and overhead costs must be estimated relatively accurately

so that the decision can be made on the basis of realistic

information. Since inflation always makes new purchases

more costly than previous purchases, it is important to use

replacement cost rather than historical cost in making repair

versus replacement decisions. If the cost of a replacement

item should happen to be less than historical cost the amount

to be spent making repairs should be reduced accordingly.

Procedure

A typical repair versus replacement chart and table

are shown on Page 4 of this Exhibit. This chart could be used for motor vehicles. A life of five years has been

selected to coincide with the life used for depreciation

of vehicles. Since an overhauled vehicle is not quite

equivalent to a new vehicle delivered directly from the

factory, a maximum of 75% of replacement cost has

been selected as the upper limit for overhaul. During the

early period of a vehicle's life, major overhaul is most

likely to result from an accident. Later, overhaul may be

caused by the failure of a major component such as an engine

or transmission or by a combination of accident and wear.

Regardless of the reason for overhaul, the chart and table

can be used. A similar approach can be used for any major

item, e.g., office machines, construction equipment and

process equipment. A suggested Repair versus Replacement

Worksheet is shown on Page 5.

Page 89: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

EXHIBIT 7.1 Page3 of

REPAIR VERSUS REPLACEMENT POLICY

Exceptions

There are several reasons why top management may

elect to make an occasional exception to the established

repair versus replacement policy. One of the more

important reasons is the unavailability of a replacement

unit. Under these conditions, management may decide to

repair regardless of cost since providing adequate service

must be given priority over economics in decision-making.

Another reason is obsolescence or standardization. When

an item is nonstandard or has become obsolete, a much

shorter life should be used in establishing the repair

versus replacement plicy.

8.0 SUMMARY

8.1 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

Summaries of the problem areas related to the

physical assets of the water and wastewater utilities,

are shown in Tables 8.1 and 8.2 respectively on the

following pages. The principal findings and conclusions

with respect to each category of assets are discussed in

the following Paragraphs, first regarding suitability and

adequacy and second regarding control policies and practices.

It is generally concluded that, except for

communications facilities which are entirely inadequate,

the existing assets of the water and wastewater utilities

permit marginally acceptable levels of service. Relatively

the wastewater utilities are less capable of meeting

future expansion than are the water utilities. In both

systems and at all locations, many improvements could be

made to provide a higher level of service more efficiently

and economically. These improvements should be made as

a first step toward better application of the utilities

resources to meet future needs regardless of the organiza­

tional structure adopted. The improvements are basically

the. use of more formal control systems and better

management of the assets.

8.1.1 Adequacy of Assets

8.1.1.1 Buildings and offices. The types and

amounts of buildings and office space in use and available

for use by the utilities are generally suitable and

adequate for the plants and field network operations.

There are some noticeable exceptions at the wastewater

treatment plants. Some of the offices within the GOGCWS

and GOSSD (Cairo) headquarters buildings are cramped for

the current numbers of employees.

Neglect of building maintenance can cause buildings

and offices to become inadequate.

8.1.1.2 Warehouses and storage yards. Warehouses

and storage yards are generally suitable and adequate to

support the current level and mode of operations.

Looking to the future expansion of utilitie services,

the need for better strategic locations of main warehouses

will become more important.

8.1.1.3 Office supplies and equipment. Office

supplies and equipment are very limited but are generally

suitable and adequate to support the current level of

operations. Nearly all forms and records are designed

and used for handwritten entries and appear to be

consistent and satisfactory with this mode of operation.

Employee effectiveness and operational efficiency

would benefit by gradual modernization of the offices

consistent with the requirements of the Egyptian environment

and the availability of equipment service. The importance

of modernization will increase as the utilities expand their

services,

Page 96: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

8-5

Furniture items, including some desks, filing

cabinets, chairs, and wall cupboards, while serviceable,

are generally old and not the best equipment for the

limited office space.

8.1.1.4 Supplies and equipment for operations and

maintenance. Shortages of supplies and equipment for

operations and maintenance do exist but appear to have

been identified through the technical studies conducted

under the master plans or to have otherwise been recognized

by management as discussed in Paragraph 5.1.1.

8.1.1.5 Communications equipment. Communications

equipment available to the water and wastewater utilities

are not adequate to meet their operational needs. A

solution to this problem through sources outside of the

utilities is highly unlikely in the foreseeable future.

8.1.1.6 Transportation equipment. While the types

and amounts of transport equipment appear to be suitable

and adequate for the current mode of operations, many

complaints concern the serviceability of assigned vehicles.

Approximately 30% of the transport vehicles are reported

as being marginally serviceable or unserviceable.

8.1.2 Control Policies

and Practices

As a basis f'or subsequent service and improvements

in the cost of operations, the utilities should move

toward adoption of more formal and precise methods of

inventory control and accounting for assets. They must

Page 97: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

8-6

know what they have, where it is located, what it is worth,

and what it does or how it contributes to their operation.

All of this information is essential to making rational

decisions on ways to achieve optimum service at minimum

cost. They must also have an effective program for

maintaining all physical assets and know the condition

of these assets on a continuing basis.

8.1.2.1 Buildings and offices. The control policies

and preventive maintenance practices regarding buildings

and offices of the utilities are inadequate based on

observations that:

- Property inventory and basic descriptive data necessary for sound property management are not readily available.

- Building and grounds maintenance is not being accomplished to an acceptable level on a regular basis.

- Building housekeeping standards do not exist; or if they exist, they are inadequate or are not being enforced.

8.1.2.2 Warehouses and storage yards. Deficiencies

with respect to control policies and preventive maintenance

practices are of the same types as those for buildings

and offices.

8.1.2.3 Office supplies and equipment. Control over

office supplies and equipment appears to be very informal.

Procedures for accountability, preventive maintenance, and

guidelines regarding repair versus replacement, and

acquisition or disposal have not been established in

writing. Formal procedures are necessary for the control

and more efficient use of this property.

Page 98: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

8-7

8.1.2.4 Supplies and equipment for operations and

maintenance. Problems with respect to inventory control

in warehouse operations which were observed during the

conduct of this study are addressed in the Management

Systems Report on Procedures and Methods. A principal

deficiency noted was the lack of an effective operating

system for identification and timely disposal of large

accumulations of excess, outmoded and salvage items.

8.1.2.5 Communications equipment. Because of the

almost complete lack of such equipment no problems were

uoted with respect to control and preventive maintenance

practices. Development of policies and instructional

guidelines will be necessary as new communications

facilities and equipment are installed.

8.1.2.6 Transportation equipment. The principal

findings with respect to control policies and practices

are that:

- There are no written policies and guidelines covering preventive maintenance, repair versus replacement, and acquisition and disposal.

- The current practices for vehicle replacement do not appear to be based on a system which considers costs in deciding on repair versus replacement.

8.2 SUMMARY OF

RECOMMENDATIONS

Sections 2.0 through 7.0 of this Report contain

recommendations immediately following the presentation

of findings and conclusions. This Paragraph is a summary

of those recommendations.

Page 99: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

8-8

8.2.1 Interim and Long-Term Improvements

Recommendations developed as a result of this Study

are summarized in Exhibit 8.1 for both the interim period

(until the new organizational structure selected is

implemented) and the long-term future (up to ten years).

The interim period recommendations should be implemented

without delay but in a deliberate fashion.

Long-term recommendations are those which are either:

- Considered necessary and important for proper support of the anticipated growth of the utilities during the next ten years, or

- Will require several years to be fullyimpleriented and produce cost effective results.

The long-term recommendations are considered

appropriate for each of the organizational arrangements

contemplated in the Interim Report on Organizational

Environment and Structure. The manner of implementation

would be dependent on the specific organizational

structure that is selected.

8.2.2 Additional Assets

Required

Types, amounts and approximate costs of assets

estimated to be needed during the next ten years were

developed in other sections of this report and are

summarized in Exhibit 8.2.

APPENDIX 1 Page I of 14

ESTIMATES OF ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL ASSETS RE4UIRED DURING THE NEXT TEN YEARS

This Appendix describes the methodology used to derive initial

estimates of the additional physical assets required by the

utilities serving the six cities during the next ten years. In

accordance with the Terms of Reference these are approximate

estimates, suitable for use in the overall valuation of future

assets. They are based in part on subjective judgment. They are

not engineering estimates and should not be used for engineering

purposes.

The estimates developed in this Appendix are-for entire

system requirements, not for any specific plant. The relative

mix of physical assets will change as the systems grow. Consequently

the amounts estimated for individual categories of assets should

not be used to project requirements for individual equipment

items, supplies or space.

The estimates are suitable for planning purposes. Like all

long-term projections, the estimates should be subject to review

and updating or adjustment as conditions warrant and the planning

process continues. The final Paragraph of this Appendix discusses

various means of improving the estimates.

APPROACH

The following general approach was followed to develop

estimates of additional future physical assets:

- Specify assets.

- Establish estimating guidelines:

• Guides for real. property assets.

. Guides for supplies and equipment.

- Review existing assets against guides:

" Estimate current (1979) needs.

• Estimate current shortage of assets.

Page 108: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

ESTINATES OF ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL ASSETS APPENDIX 1REQUIRED DURING THE NEXT TEN YEARS Page 2 =64 -Review plans 1or future expansion and estimate

ten-year needs.

- Estimate additional future needs.

ASSETS

Six categories of assets have been studied:

- Buildings and Offices

- Warehouses and Storage Yards

- Office Supplies and EqUipment

- Supplies and Equipment for Operations and Maintenance

- Communications Equipment

- Transportation Equipment

For meaningful analysis it was necessary to specify in

detail the assets included in each category as shown

in Exhibit 1.2.

Assets in the first two categories are basically real

property improvements of a general support nature.

Quantities of these assets are measured in square meters.

Estimated costs currently range from LE 30 to 90 per meter 2 .

The estimates derived in this Study are based generally

on LE 60 per meter2 . Variations occur in the calculations

because of rounding.

Assets in the remaining four categories are basically

equipment and supply types of items. Costs for these items

have been estimated in various ways as described in later

ESTIMATING GUIDELINES

Although the adequacy of assets is primarily a

subjective determination, the use of estimating guidelines

or yardsticks is helpful in making the determination. The

precision desired in the estimate is an important factor

to consider in deciding upon the guides to use. Guidelines

developed during the course of this Study used information

from field visits and the work of other consultants, and

have been used to make the estimates contained in this Report.

Guidelines for

Real Property Assets

As an example of the available data, detailed calc­

ulations and rationale are presented in the Helwan Waste­

water Master Plan, Volume 3, pertaining to Year 2000

requirements for physical assets for the Helwan wastewater

system. Among other things, the report shows the buildings,

shope, warehouses and storage yards for a 556,000 meter 3

per day wastewater treatment plant and associated networks

systems to be approximately as shown in Table Al.l:

ESTIMATES OF ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL ASSETS REQUIRED DURING THE NEXT TEN YEARS

From these data, guidelines have been established

for buildings and offices, and warehouses and storage yards

for three size groupings of treatment plants:

-Small (S) - Under 100,000 M3 /day; represented by 50,000 M 3/day

-Medium (M) - 100,000 to 300,000 M 3/day; represented by 200,000 M3/day

-Large (L) - Over 300,000 M3/day; represented by 400,000 M3 /day

Calculations of space requirements and costs for buildings

and offices at approximately LE 60 per meter 2 are shown below:

- Large Plant Systems'400 0002

use 1400 meters .5500000 x 1,940 = 1,396; 2

1,396 x 60 = LE 83,741; use LE 84,000.

- Medium Plant System Estimated at 60% of large plant

- Small Plant System Estimated at 30% of medium plant

Similar estimates were made for warehouses and storage yards. 2

The results are shown in Table A1.2 with space in meters

and cost in LE thousands:

APPENDIX 1 Page 5 of 14

ESTIMATES OF ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL ASSETS REQUIRED DURING THE NEXT TEN YEARS

Since similar operations and functions are involved, the

space and costs derived are appropriate for initial

estimates of either water or wastewater systems in Egypt.

Guidelines for Supplies

and Equipment

Guidelines for the types, quantities and costs of the

remaining four categories of assets are derived by:

- Choosing a model medium-size treatment plant system with the following features:

• Headquarters allocation

• Treatment plant

" Two networks field units

• One maintenance shop

" One warehouse

- Selecting sets of assets appropriate for the model system.

- Estimating the costs of the selected assets.

- Expanding the cost information thus derived to the small and large plant systems.

For two of the four categories, Office Supplies and

Equipment and Communications Equipment, lump sum estimates

for the total assets required are shown in Table Al3 on

the following page:

REVIEW EXISTING

ASSETS

A detailed review of existing assets was not possible

because of incomplete inventory data covering physical

assets. Complete inventory data would be useful in refining

estimates by providing a better base from which to make

future projections. In the absence of such an inventory,

and the lack of time to make one, deficiencies in the current

levels of assets were derived by using the estimating

guidelines to model existing systems.

First, the actual water and wastewater systems of the

utilities studied were approximated with systems formed by

use of the estimating guidelines. The resulting model

systems provide an estimate of current needs. Next the

suitability and adequacy of current system assets, which

had been evaluated in the Study (Sections 2.0 through 7.0)

were used as a scale to estimate current asset needs and

thereby provide an estimate of the current level of assets.

I'or each of the systems, the estimated current need less the

current level is the estimated current additional need. The

values for the current level of assets were calculated in

this manner and are shown in Tables 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, 5.2, 6.1

and 7.1. Details of the calculations are presented in the

following paragraphs.

Page 115: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

APPENDIX 1 Page 9 of 14

ESTIMATES OF ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL ASSETS REQUIRED DURING THE NEXT TEN YEARS

Current (1979)

Asset Needs

Selected data for the existing systems are provided

in Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2. Based on field visits and reviews

of reports, the existing systems have been approximated

by systems consisting of groupings of the three sizes of

plants, Small (S), Medium (M) and Large (L). The systems

selected and needs are shown in Exhibit A1.3. These are basically

approximate models which reflect the assets currently needed

by the utilities to support properly the existing systems.

In addition to the existing plants, plant modifications in

progress were considered. Large pumping stations in the

wastewater systems were also considered.

Current (1979)

Shortage of Assets

The estimated deficiency in communications equipment

to support current operations for all water and wastewater

utilities is 80%. For all other assets in the water

utilities the shortage is estimated at 25%. For the Cairo

and Helwan, and Alexandria wastewater utilities, the estimated

deficiency of other assets is 30%; for the canal region

cities, 40%. These estimates are subjective, based on

conditions noted during field visits, interviews and reviews

of reports. The results of calculating the shortages are

presented in Tables 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, 5.2, 6.1, and 7.1 under

the column, Estimated Current Additional Need.

Page 116: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

APPENDIX IPage YO of 17

ESTIMATES OF ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL ASSETS REQUIRED DURING THE NEXT TEN YEARS

In the absence of actual inventory data, the current

levels of assets have been calculated by using the model

systems. The results are shown in Tables 2.1, 3.1, 4.1,

5.2, 6.1 and 7.1 under the column, Estimated Current Level.

FUTURE EXPANSION

All utilities are making plans for future expansion

of services. In most cases plans which are being developed

by engineering consultants can be expected to undergo

further review until finally approved for execution. A

review of the plans which are available was made for the

purpose of estimating the systems which are anticipated

within the next ten ypars (until 1989).

For Cairo and Helwan, fcr example, the changes projected

in the system by 1989 as taken from ES-Parsons reports are

shown in Table Al.5 on the following page. This indicates

the use of 8 Large, 2 Medium and 3 Small plants to model

the 1989 system.

Similar reviews were made of the other utilities as

shown in Table A1.6.

. Using the 1989 systems shown in Table AI.6, projected

ten-year requirements for physical assets were calculated.

The results are shown in column A of Exhibit A1.4.

ADDITIONAL FUTURE NEEDS

Projected requirements for additional physical assets by the utilities during the next ten years (to 1989) are shown in column E of Exhibit A1.4. The results have also been shown in Tables 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, 5.2, 6.1 and 7.1 for the respective categories of assets and in Exhibit 8.2. For the six cities studied, the total projected needs are:

Water - LE 57.7 million

Wastewater - LE 45.2

Total - LE 102.9 million

IMPROVING THE

ESTIMATES

Projections of future asset requirements can be

improved through:

-Refinements in the methodology, and

- Improvements in quality of the input data.

Methodology

Refinements

The methodology roquires an ability to:

- Establish a proper set of assets to use ina model that is representative of the utilitysystems (includes an appropriate mix of allelements in the utility organizations).

- Derive guides or rules to expand this modelto represent the actual systems being studied.

Page 120: ''MAN GEMENT SYS EMS>

APPENDIX 1 Page 14 of 14

ESTIMATES OF ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL ASSETS REQUIRED DURING THE NEXT TEN YEARS

This methodology has been applied without the benefits of

a detailed asset inventory from the utilities because such

data are not available, and time was not available to

make an inventory.

Improvements are therefore possible by ensuring that

the proper assets have been included and in the proper

quantities. The best way is to have information on all

of the assets in the inventories and a thorough understanding

of asset requirements. Further studies of similar utilities

(if these can be found) would be useful in comparing the

model to actual systems.

Input Data

Improvements

The best basis for all future projections is accurate

detailed information on the current situation. Correct

data are necessary for definitive estimates. Cost data

are particularly important. The asset cost data used

should be compared with estimates from other sources.

One way of improving the data available for future planning

is to keep good records.
