Overview
Background & policy context:
The development of efficient railways calls for the use of advanced methods to fully understand the influence of the cost contributors to the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of the total operation. The development of a LCC approach can assist the introduction of harmonised rules that ensure economic and safe maintenance of rolling stock outside the home network.
Objectives:
CRMA aimed to contribute to the development of a LCC methodology where the information required to perform calculations, i.e. availability and reliability details, operational requirement specifications and cost contributors, is clearly identified in a way acceptable to all parts of the railway business.
