Description:

Regression analysis was used to develop models of the reliability and maintenance labor statistics reported by 111 U.S. transit systems. Eight bus systems were selected for intensive analysis on the basis of deviations from the expected pattern of performance. Detailed site visits were conducted to identify local factors which were responsible for the deviations from expected performance. Comparisons of the site visit case studies identified several factors which had significant effects on performance. These included tracking and periodic evaluation of maintenance outcomes, driver involvement in pre-run inspections, cooperative worker/manager relationships, and avoidance of excessively diverse fleets. A summary of productive management actions was constructed by synthesizing the approaches used at selected case study systems.
