- W642162501 abstract "Boston & Maine has demonstrated how to implement an operating/service plan designed to improve service, car utilization, and profitability. The plan was developed by an interdepartmental service committee during the fall of 1978. Implementing the plan in 1979 required several major changes in train schedules, in yard activities, in car distribution, and in power utilization. In addition, B&M made important changes in information systems and in B&M organization to ensure proper implementation, evaluation and control. The report provides an overview of the planning process, a summary of the analysis of alternative plans considered by the committee, and an evaluation of the impacts on service, utilization and profits. It also documents car cost budgeting, the evolution of the service committee, and the use of the MIT Service Planning Model to set service standards. Development of an operating/service plan and the effective use of an interdepartmental service committee are the key to railroad's efforts to meet competition. In this instance, new planning techniques allowed B&M to concentrate analysis in operating areas most critical to marketing priorities. As a result of this case study, B&M improved car utilization by 15% and $3 million in on-line car costs in 1979 relative to 1978. Other railroads could benefit from both the planning process and the modeling techniques described in this report." @default.
