Rail management is very important as it informs you about your rolling assets’ efficiencies and life cycle. Rail management helps gather large amounts of information and then analyses the data to provide valuable information on flagged actionable jobs. The jobs must then be completed to ensure that all subsystems work safely and reliably alone and when combined as complete systems. In addition, rail management checks that equipment is operating efficiently and reliably to ensure that operational service availability remains at the high levels demanded by asset operators.  Rail management is essential to help improve component performance, extended service intervals, prolonged asset life, help with supply chain efficiencies and penalty mitigation and safety. In addition, rail management can ensure more efficient use of labour and materials during maintenance and repair, which helps cut costs and speeds up maintenance and repair activities. Rail management can also reduce the input energy and emissions required to produce replacement equipment, reduce waste generated by the disposal of the existing equipment, and extend the life of the components to enhance the asset value.  During condition-based assessments, a rail management professional or engineer will review fleet technical maintenance plans and optimise component overhaul intervals based on vehicle usage data and component condition.  Rail management is fundamentally important to assist with rolling asset product improvements. The culmination of engineering services and component design modifications helps improve life cycle cost, optimise performance, increase life, reduce maintenance costs, and provide a better return on investment.
