Optimerad underhållsbudgetplanering för lok i DB Cargo (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

Deutsche Bahn Cargo AG (DB Cargo) is a German line haul provider for the European Rail Transport Market. The more than 1500 locomotives owned by the company receive frequent maintenance for all their components. The many components of course have many different life cycles, costs and time needed for maintenance in the workshop. One of the tasks for the department “Operative Locomotives and Budget Planning Germany” (L.CBA 22) is to create a budget plan for the locomotive maintenance with a high quality of prediction. Because a change in maintenance procedures is currently ongoing, the budgeting process needs to be adjusted to keep the quality of prediction high without exceeding available time needed to create the budget plan.To do so, a tool consisting of excel files with queries, macros, in cell calculations as well as pivot table visualization is being created. Although not finished until now, it already facilitates some processes of the budgeting procedure.

Abstract [sv]

Deutsche Bahn Cargo AG (DB Cargo) är en tysk leverantör av godstransporter för den europeiska järnvägstransportmarknaden. Företagets mer än 1 500 lok servas ofta med alla sina komponenter. De många komponenterna har naturligtvis många olika livscykler, kostnader och tid som krävs för underhåll i verkstaden. En av avdelningarna för avdelningen "Operativa lok och budgetplanering Tyskland" (L.CBA 22) är att skapa en högkvalitativ prognos för lokets underhållsbudget. Eftersom en förändring av underhållsprocedurer för närvarande pågår måste budgeteringsprocessen justeras för att hålla kvaliteten på förutsägelsen hög utan att den tid som behövs för att skapa budgetplanen överskrids.För att göra det skapas ett verktyg som består av Excel-filer med frågor, makron, i cellberäkningar samt pivottabellvisualisering. Även om den inte är klar ännu, gör det redan vissa processer i budgeteringsprocessen enklare.
