THE CHALLENGE
Increasing capacity without interrupting operations
Capacity
Double the heavy overhaul throughput without taking depot offline
Footprint
Transform capacity within current boundaries
Efficiency
Automate workflows to offset workforce constraints and maintain productivity
Standards
Improve quality, safety, and operational audibility
Continuity
Ensure zero disruption to passenger services
Creating operational clarity
Before deploying any solution, our operator-led framework deconstructs challenges identifying exactly what matters, prioritising hidden constraints and making data-backed decisions to drive confident action.
Bottleneck isolation
Isolate constraints limiting capacity, rather than treating the entire depot as the problem
Constraint analysis
Understand how people, parts and equipment move to reveal where physical flow slows productivity
Resource allocation
Distinguish true resource gaps from inefficient allocation
Throughput delays
Pinpoint where time is lost to focus intervention where it will most improve turnaround
KEY INSIGHT
Operational clarity revealed where intervention would create the greatest impact
By understanding how the depot operated day-to-day, STRIDES identified the workflow constraints, resource dependencies and productivity bottlenecks that were limiting performance. This clarity enabled targeted interventions that increased throughput while maintaining operational continuity.
