Abstract
CP Rail has adopted a planned maintenance practice for freight car maintenance. The benefits accruing from planned maintenance, besides lower costs of car maintenance, are expected to be a reduction in car bad orders, elimination of the shopping of loaded cars, reduced car switching in terminals, improved car availability/utilization, and a reduction in car leasing. Implementation of the new policy has already commenced on the CP Rail coal-car fleet. The results have been a dramatic reduction in car bad orders and a consequent improvement in car availability. Implementation of planned maintenance on other car types in the CP Rail fleet is in progress.<>
