Prior to completion of its Stage I Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) procurement and Presidents' Conference Committee (PCC) rehabilitation program, Port Authority of Allegheny County's (PAT) Rail Car Maintenance Management Information System (MMIS) consisted of a paper record system. The purpose of the project was to develop, test and implement a computerized rail car MMIS for both rail car types, as well as prepare a report on the system which would be useful to other transit authorities. PAT's MMIS, as implemented, has the following capabilities: improve maintenance planning, analysis, management and evaluation; enhance the concept of cost-effective transit system management; and increase rail transit effectiveness and efficiency. It also provides reliability and maintainability statistics, labor and material costs, warranty program support, preventive maintenance schedules, parts consumption, procurement and inventory management, car histories, and a variety of reports. The report describes the PAT MMIS project, as designed for the needs of the PAT Maintenance Department and support personnel.
