Railway systems are characterized by large, long-term investments and fast-paced operational environments.

Whether it’s mass transit or freight, rail transport relies heavily on successful operations. Needless to say, is punctuality critical in a system where everything from train paths to dwell times at platforms, is carefully planned with the operation of the total network in mind. Being on time is a vital part of the service quality, and lack of punctuality can be costly, not only for the customers and the operator but also for the other operators sharing the railway infrastructure.

• Do I have enough vehicles to meet my timetable?
• Is the current depot capacity large enough?
• What holds my vehicles away from traffic?
• When should we carry out maintenance?
• What are the biggest cost drivers?
• What will it cost to run and maintain the new fleet?

What does it take to be on time, and how can it be achieved with cost efficiency?

It takes reliability and availability in rolling stock, infrastructure, and support systems, a great deal of planning, and cost awareness and control. Having the proper tools and methods in place to balance the RAM (Reliability Availability Maintainability) properties of your fleet and its support system against Life Cycle Cost (LCC) is key for long-term success.

For over 50 years Systecon has developed methods and software that allow organizations across the globe in different industries, from defense to renewables to transport, to make informed, smarter decisions in life cycle management. We have the methodology, tools, and experience to understand and analyze the factors that affect your performance and costs of a fleet of technical systems – e.g., aircraft, trains, or wind turbines – and to optimize operations, system design, and maintenance solutions based on your conditions and objectives. Every day, Systecon and our software Opus Suite contribute to informed decisions and cost-effective solutions in research, development, production, procurement, and operations in hundreds of companies and government authorities in more than 20 countries on five continents. Today Systecon is a thought leader in analytical LCM and some of the world’s most complex technology projects rely on our tools and expertise.
