Lean management for traffic‐police enforcement planning

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the traffic‐police enforcement process and develop models to improve enforcement effectiveness given substantial budgetary and resource constraints.Design/methodology/approach – The formulation crosses the concepts of lean manufacturing and linear programming. Traffic police officers, automated machines and the back‐office are modeled in a similar manner to that of a manufacturing plant, working together to achieve ticket production as a function of quantity and quality, based on a preferential ranking of offence types.Findings – Using data from the Israeli traffic police over a six‐year period, the case study shows that given available resources, it is possible to retain ticket quantity whilst significantly improving ticket quality as defined in the road safety literature. The case study shows a 24 per cent increase in quality ticket processing whilst taking into account the court summons constraint and maintaining throughput levels. This draws from changes...
