Abstract:
Track maintenance represents over 20 percent of Australian railway operating costs. Thus there is considerable incentive for rail corporations to reduce their maintenance costs. There is considerable research directed at improving track structures and maintenance techniques to reduce the track maintenance expenditure. However, there is little work on the planning of track maintenance that can be applied to Australian railway operations. This research reviews maintenance planning and finds that models currently available are empirical models reliant mainly on historical track condition data fr

Non-profit organisations are a niche sector of the service industry, which is increasing worldwide.

Unlike business whose goal is to be profitable, the aim of non-profit organisations is to render a service to the community. Therefore, incorporating business principles into the management of the organisation is often in conflict with its aims. Furthermore, while the organ

Since the passing of the 1988 Education Reform Act British education, particularly at a secondary level, has been transformed. The changes enacted in this and subsequent legislation have opened up state-provided education to a market-oriented system which is led more by the preferences of parents than the dictation of local or national planners. This means that local authorities and other providers of education have been left in a situation where they are relatively powerless to provide adequate schooling in a proactive manner.
