Predictive, Preventative Maintenance
Managing railcar maintenance effectively improves rolling stock reliability and increases equipment availability and operational productivity. It allows for a lower spare vehicle ratio and reduces overall railcar maintenance costs. It sustains the useful life of equipment and reduces long-term capital cost.
Ineffective railcar maintenance can result in an expensive downward spiral into a “find and fix” mentality instead of proactively addressing maintenance issues before impact reliability and operations.
