A manpower supply planning model for MRT carriage maintenance

In this study, we develop a manpower supply planning model for mass rapid transit carriage maintenance under mixed deterministic and stochastic. The model and the method used currently in actual operations are evaluated by a simulation-based evaluation method. Finally, we perform a case study using real operating data from a Taiwan MRT maintenance facility. The preliminary results are good, showing that the model could be useful for planning carriage maintenance manpower supply.
