Transfer experiences from existing quality management systems to MM
Develop a Quality Management scheme for Mobility Management (QMSMM)
Preparing a certification system for mobility management

Prototype QMSMM
slide 6
Objective:To obtain feed back on the prototype QMMS by Mobility Managers.
To use feed back for QMMS refinement.
Method:
On-line questionnaire, 47 cities responded
Results
Most understood principle of scheme
Most found it useful
Many felt that they had parts of process in place already
slide 7
Understanding of prototype QM scheme
Yes, completely 43.9%
Yes, somewhat 46.3%
Yes, a little 4.9%
Not much 2.4%
Yes, completely 43.9%
…This scheme could also be used for the ordinary work in the department.
…Perhaps it is not as prepared and implemented, but we follow the scheme in an informal way
…Many similarities with the previously mentioned PRINCE 2 franework, although some of the steps are presented in a different order using the PRINCE 2 f ramework.
…It appears to be the application of a standard model
…I recognize the contents of the scheme, we are working a little like this today.
…I don't particularly understand QM systems and doubt their usefulness
…However, as the a bove is a simplified diagram, it is difficult to comment
…This scheme could also be used for the ordinary work in the department.
slide 8
Effort to provide a normative document, a so called CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA)◦ "Code of Practice for implementing Quality in
Mobility Management in smaller and medium sized cities".
This CWA is largely based on the findings of MAX/WP C and can be used for certification of a QMSMM.
slide 9
◦ Date: June 12th-13th, 2008◦ Place: Gent, Belgium◦ Invited: 5 MM experts, 2 MM practitioners from
cities◦ Moderator: Tom Rye
slide 10
QMS needs more than one level Some minimum (acceptable) standards (in main
levels) should be included External auditors and a peer group also important Recognizing improvement is crucial for
strengthening both the system and the organization/people
The QMMS should be capable of migrating to ISO 9000 at some later date

MAX WPC - Methodology Used – Step 4: Demonstration
Demonstration – city of Kortrijk (Be)
Background• City in the process of updating the City’s Urban Transport
Plan• Focal themes: environment, PT, biking policy, schools as
target group and monitoring • A desire for thorough evaluation of ‘schools and mobility’
project• Expand and enhance MM to other areas of mobilityClear and strong link to QM systemStrong motivation for the city to participate to MAX
slide 12
MAX WPC - Methodology Used – Step 4: Demonstration
Demonstration Process (1)
• STEP 1: QM scheme: what do you need to achieve high quality in MM as a small & medium sized city? A set of criteria + detailed description
• STEP 2: A scoring mechanism to assess the current quality in MM Ladder of development
slide 13
MAX WPC - Methodology Used – Step 4: Demonstration
• STEP 3: Four successive QM-sessions as procedure to adopt the scheme & the ladder of development lead by external auditor
• Aim: assess current quality and define improvement actions• Guidance on the QM-sessions:
– Participants, aims & agenda, preparatory material, discussion format, moderating guide, reporting template
• STEP 4: QM-report: QM-assessment + priority list of improvement actions & project sheets
• STEP 5: Handing over QM-report & conclusions to decision makers (incl. political level) Certification?

Demonstration – city of Kortrijk – STEP 1: QMSMM
Component 1 – Policy
1. User and society results: mobility behaviour & needs are known? Public support for sust. mobility and MM?...
2. Policy on paper
Vision of MM descibed in principal policy documents?, …
3. Leaderschip Someone taking responsibility and initiative
for MM in the city?, …

Component 2 – Strategy
4. MM-programme Prioritising actions and measures? short -long term, integrated mix of measures?
5. Partnerships
communication / commitment / different stakeholders?...
6. People sufficient staff available? Competences?
Guaranteed continuity?...
7. Budgetsufficient & LT budget for MM? Technical and logistic support available?...

Component 3 – Implementation
8. MM-measuresdifferent categories and target groups (SMART-principles); action plans with task distribution, timing and budget is available and clear (basis for benchmarking)
9. MM-supportive measures
accordance with more “hard” measures like parking policy, urban planning,…

Demonstration - city of Kortrijk – STEP 2
Phases of Quality Improvement: ladder of development
Development phase 5: Policy oriented to Total Quality Management= City is “best practice” , trendsetting
Development phase 4: a chain-oriented policy= systematic analysis and assessment, future minded, synergetic approach
Development phase 3: a system-oriented policy
= strategic approach, innovative & corrective, clear engagement, internal to external
Development phase 2: a process-oriented policy= needs/priorities are known, overal vision in place, but no integrated approach
Development phase 1: an activity-oriented policy = ad hoc, problem solving
slide 20
Demonstration - city of Kortrijk – STEP 3
• 4 successive quality management sessions amongst cities’ mobility team, main target group and stakeholders
• ims of sessions:1. to get information on quality of mobility policy in past 5 years
position of Kortrijk on the development ladder? analysis based on the 12 components of the QMsystem
2. bring up improvement actions on the field of MM position of Kortrijk on 12 components as starting point
• Sessions organised and scoring done by an external quality auditor
slide 21
MAX WPC - End Products
