In conjunction with one railroad’s funding parent organization, Mr. Kesich’s team designed and implemented a comprehensive Energy Management System. Achieved ISO 50001 Certification in 2018 – First Railroad in North America Implemented Energy Savings Initiatives M8 DC/AC Power Regeneration M7 DC Power Regeneration GCT Water Chiller Replacement Yard...
On behalf of a major passenger carrier in the Northeast, Mr. Kesich led a group of diverse subject matter experts to deliver cost-effective design improvements and scheduled maintenance programs for their diverse rolling stock fleets: Transitioned processes from being reactive and variable to a proactive and stable environment...
Classic asset management approaches begin by inventorying all infrastructure assets and then assigning maintenance tasks and resources. Our approach collects similar data, but by starting with current personnel assignment and describing their job responsibilities and work processes, staff resistance in a railroad infrastructure owner-operator environment is minimized. Resulting...
A large transit agency’s cost of operations per passenger, per hour, and per mile was discerned to be very high. It sought to explore how practices differed from other operators. Understanding how one’s own system performs against similar peer properties is valuable in deciding on changes in transit...
We were tasked to examine bus lanes in New York City for differences in enforcement needs based on actual bus speed data from GPS-based automated vehicle locator (AVL) systems. In New York, bus lanes are utilized for a number of different purposes, such as hosting right turn traffic,...
The Reddy Analytics team members were instrumental in providing irrefutable evidence from signal system data that demonstrated the dramatic and immediate impact of recalibrating “grade timers” on one of the busiest rapid transit systems in the nation. At the time, there was a debate internal to the transit...
On behalf of a major regional passenger rail operator, as part of ongoing efforts to rightsize the Maintenance of Way (MOW) workforce, we led a team of production planners and analysts to conduct a zero-based budget assessment in all major MOW areas at the maintenance headquarters, gang, shift,...
The eight-step framework consisting of organization, procedure, personnel, time study, rate analysis, utilization analysis, rightsizing, and benchmarking is used to understand and improve productivity and efficiency of railroad cyclical curve rail replacement processes at a major Northeastern commuter railroad. The Railroad is organized into eight geographical maintenance subdivisions...
For a major metro system, we performed an observational study of how customers tended to distribute themselves within each vehicle, with a view towards making recommendations about vehicle design (e.g. door, pole, and seat placement), and to reduce station dwell time. The plastic bench seats installed are otherwise...
We were tasked by a major U.S. rapid transit system to determine the true rate of fare evasion at the turnstile, and assess the resulting potential revenue loss. Working in conjunction with a team of internal auditors, we adopted a stratified sampling methodology and developed methods for discreet...
