摘要

As part of the development of the freight car scheduling system,the Missouri Pacific Railroad (MP) will collect and analyze railroad performance data during a period beginning in January 1978and continuing into 1979. These data will be used in assessing the effectiveness of the scheduling system. The purpose of the document is to describe MP's plan for conducting the measurement task. The document identifies the expected changes,the pilot implementation area,the performance measures to be taken,and how the data will be collected and presented.
