title = "Methods of improving turnaround time of iron Ore wagon utilisation",
abstract = "Transnet Freight Rail (TFR), an arm of Transnet Limited is a multinational company established to optimize supply chains system of the iron Ore industry through the integrated logistics initiatives. The growth demand on rail services has been adequately considered by ensuring that the existing TFR's infrastructures, locomotives and wagon fleets are functional and serviceable. However, in the daily operation TFR is mostly challenged with meeting the turnaround time as scheduled. This research attempts to identify the main reasons why rail freight is dropping away and what we can do to get it back on track. A detailed planning is needed in every yard to ensure that all activities in the run up to train departure are executed and executed on time.",
