• Abstract:
  The Louisiana DOTD Outsourcing Decision Assistance Model was developed to assist officials of the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to assess the outsourcing potential of individual activities or functions in the department. The model consists of both a qualitative and a quantitative assessment process which is conducted interactively by a user on a personal computer. The qualitative portion of the model uses the subjective judgement of one or more persons on a set number of perspectives, where each perspective is aimed at a different aspect of the potential for outsourcing. The quantitative portion of the model consists of the comparison of the cost of insourcing or outsourcing the activity. This manual describes how to install and use the computer program that executes both the qualitative and quantitative portions of the model
