Repair Time Standards for Transit Vehicles

摘要

The objective of this study is to establish accurate repair time standards for transit vehicles in Florida public transit systems. This project develops standards in order to minimize the time required to perform tasks, continually improve reliability of services and to conserve resources and minimum costs by specifying direct/indirect materials of tools to provide repair service. This report has been organized as follows: Section two describes the brake system and the processes involved in completing a brake job. In section three the Time Study method is described and considerations while conducting the Time Study are provided. How the standards were established is described in section four. The database development and its description are presented in section five. Finally, recommendations and conclusions drawn from the research and a look into future possibilities for the Transit Sector are given in section six.
