  4. Some History • Arbitration and Rules Committee (ARB) & Car Repair Billing Committee (CRB) implemented changes for all car repair billing to be paperless. • One final change – electronic defect cards • Equipment Assets Management Working Committee (EAMWC) has also been working to reduce paper exchange. • Car Hire Rules 7 & 8 allow relief when specific events occur. Determining those events is labor intensive. • Create a central repository of information related to defective/damaged rail cars.

  5. Project Goals: • Create a web based data exchange for defective and damaged freight cars. • Identify and communicate agreed information in a timely manner to parties that need the data. • Allow data to be updated as the handling of the car progresses. • Provide electronic notices when expected updates are not made. • Maintain user audit logs and historical records. • Provide reports and allow ad hoc inquiries. • Upload and download files between parties involved.

  6. Project Stakeholders: • Mechanical – primary supplier of data • Car Accounting – uses data to calculate and audit car hire and reclaims • Revenue Accounting – sends out freight bills • Property Accounting – maintains inventory for fleets • Car Owners – receives information on damaged or defective cars and provides data and disposition • ARB – rules review • EAMWC – rules review
