14 Net present value is the difference between the present value of costs and benefits, discounted to 2002. A negative NPV in Table 1 therefore means the benefits gained over the next 20 years by reducing maintenance expenditure are less than the costs arising from that decision.

16 "Lean" is a method of designing and implementing business systems to minimise waste and maximise value.
17 In this qualitative assessment, benefits can be either "service improvements" or "cost savings" and can have either Significant or Moderate impact. Significant benefits can have a positive transformational effect on service delivery; or have the potential to save substantial costs when applied at an industry level. Moderate benefits can achieve improvement to service delivery; or will achieve more modest cost savings when applied locally or nationally.
