RECORDS MANAGEMENT FOR BUILDING CLOSURE PROJECTS: FEDERAL FACILITY BEST PRACTICES

摘要

This paper presents the results of a benchmarking analysis of the methods and processes used byrnseveral federal facilities to disposition records during building closure projects. The analysisrnreviews the records management process used at the Rocky Flats Environmental TechnologyrnSite, presents records management process data collected from other Department of Energyrn(DOE) and Department of Defense (DoD) sites engaged in building closure projects, andrnidentifies opportunities for process improvement based on the best practices employed by thesernfacilities. Records management personnel from five DOE facilities and one DoD facilityrnparticipated in this benchmarking study. The analysis sought to identify process improvementrnopportunities based primarily on a qualitative “lessons learned” approach. No facility was foundrnto be superior in all facets of records management; however, unique insights were gained fromrneach organization.
