Reliability, quality, efficiency and sustainability are pivotal challenges facing public transport companies. Consequently, companies that link all the related processes in an optimised way have an advantage. The co-ordination of operations and workshops holds great potential and benefits all involved.
Ensuring daily operations, meeting passengers’ increasing quality demands, and reducing costs: transportation companies are facing many and varied challenges which are almost impossible to meet without the support of information technology. The integrated interaction of the various departments and IT systems is more crucial now than ever before. This is the only way to leverage all areas of potential. Depot management systems (DMS) play a key role here.
For example, a DMS can be used to order and block vehicles for workshop tasks and to classify the vehicles’ operational capability at the same time. Up to now, however, the selection of vehicles for delivery to the workshop has usually been carried out solely via the data- carrying (master data) systems such as those from SAP, Microsoft Dynamics NAV or Maximo which follow standardised rule-based maintenance or cleaning intervals.
These systems do not know or take the on-site operational situation into account when planning. Even special workshop resources that may be relevant to a job are not included in the selection process. This is further complicated by the fact that detailed planning of work processes in the workshop itself is frequently done manually using analogue planning tables.
