Case study introduction - Man-hour cost reduction - Ownership cost savings - Material cost reduction

Annual man-hour cost reduction

Annual man-hour reduction, due to reduced scheduled locomotive out of service time, accomplished a cost savings of close to $4 million CAD. This was achieved by implementing a pro-active maintenance system that included but was not limited to the following:

optimized line shop locomotive schedule maintenance,
target maintenance,
integration of line shop / main shop preventive maintenance,
standardization of maintenance documentation and contents,
rapid transfer of new and up-to-date maintenance changes to the line shops, and
fingertip availability of current and up-to-date "How To" maintenance directives.
