new structure for
vehicle technology
The RDW is an organisation that is continually
changing as the world of mobility changes. The
aim is to stay ahead of the public, European and
global challenges in the area of vehicle technology,
and from that position to create new opportunities
for the RDW and for the Netherlands. To be able
to do this, in recent years, the organisational
structure of the vehicle technology division
has been amended. The V10 programme has
streamlined these changes.
This concerns: customer-oriented acting and
thinking, efficiency and operational excellence
and uniform responsibility for management and
employees.
portfolio simplifies
proJect choice
How do you distribute the budgets and available
people over the projects? A difficult job, certainly
when every year it seems that the number of
projects to be executed exceeds the available
capacity. it is inevitable that choices must be
made. The figures: every year, the RDW spends
35 million Euros on 80 projects. Together, these
projects require 200,000 man-hours.
Thanks to V10, the vehicle technology division
(VT) received a new main structure in 2010,
including a position for the new Knowledge and
information management (Kim) department. in
2011, the focus was on reforming the division’s
three main processes: PTi, individual inspection
and Vehicle Admission & surveillance. The
business Operations and innovation staff
department is part of the restructuring.
The division has been working in accordance with
the new procedure since 1 january 2012. in 2013,
the entire restructuring will be evaluated.
The Project Portfolio management expert group
has been established to get better insight of the
flow of projects and by doing so to be better able
to choose the right ones. This group, known as the
PPm expert group, selects the projects, identifies
the relationships and overlaps, and advises the
management team. The expert group consists
of representatives from all divisions and staff
departments.
