Abstract:

This report documents and presents the results of a Testing and Demonstration (T&D) Project on applications for improved inventory management for public transit systems. This project is a follow-up to an earlier study on inventory management for bus and rail public transit systems. The conclusions reached in the initial research project (E-3) on organization and inventory performance indicators were developed into criteria for further study. Five case studies

were conducted at selected transit properties on how to apply and measure the benefits of

improved inventory performance indicators, including the use of technology. The results of the

case studies were then analyzed to determine the relationships between inventory control factors and management performance, the conditions under which inventory management techniques are best applied, and implementation issues and solutions to potential problems when applying the inventory control techniques. The characteristics of public transit properties (such as

demographics, organization, etc.) that affect the application of the inventory control techniques were also identified. The case study results are used in the revised Inventory Management Desk Guide to illustrate the application of inventory management techniques.
