    Leveraging Analytics & Automation for Effective Crew Mgmt. 09/24/2019 What are some of the everyday operations that a rail freight crew manager is responsible for, and how can they benefit from automation of processes like crew scheduling, allocation, and time-tracking? In this webinar, Sr. Railroad Consultant and Program Manager Shannon Bloxom will address these questions, which impact short lines as much as Class I railroads. She’ll outline the challenges that crew managers face in their day-to-day jobs and take a look at how to automate processes for crew managers, streamlining their workflows as they leverage the power of crew analytics to drive efficiencies in crew management functions.  Shannon will also speak on how crew analytics give valuable insights into metrics like crew utilization ratios and available crew so that the crew managers can reduce delays that often result from crew unavailability. She will interview Amber Davenport, a rail industry expert and currently a crew manager for a leading Class I railroad.   Attendees will have an opportunity to participate in Q&A at the end of the presentation.

    Meeting Positive Train Control (PTC) Host Requirements Pt. 1 09/26/2019 This is the first of a two-part webinar series that discusses important requirements that PTC tenant railroads must meet to obtain and maintain permission to operate over a host railroad’s PTC territory.  This first webinar focuses on interoperability, including industry initiatives to manage interoperable PTC and tenant security measures needed to keep the interoperable PTC communication pathways protected.  The second webinar will address specific evidence of compliance with PTC host requirements that must be maintained by PTC tenants for the full life-cycle of PTC, and describe tools to assist ASLRRA members in meeting these long-term requirements.   Implications for hosted service providers will also be discussed at each webinar.

    Effective On-the-Job Training (OJT) Strategies 10/02/2019 The best job training happens at work. Whether it is part of new hire training, role upgrades, or career development, on-the-job training programs ensure that railroads set their employees up for success and also stay compliant.  The daily challenge of handling large trainee counts, infrastructure for training for specific job roles, and the management of training requirements in 49 CFR 243 is real. Organizations are often left wanting for effective, performance-based strategies that deliver effective training while meeting compliance at the same time.  In this webinar, Sr. Railroad Consultant Ashok Madhavan will cover strategies which can make your OJT programs simple, effective, and compliant in today’s rail transportation industry. At the end of the webinar, there will be a 20 minute Q&A session with him on effective on-the-job training programs and challenges. Add to Calendar
