The Twenty Point Plan has been developed by fleet engineers for fleet engineers to help improve rolling stock performance.

The latest issue (December 2017, Issue 13) of the Twenty Point Plan has been restructured and now includes:

• A new section on On-Depot Fault Finding (Section 9)
• A new Appendix on Performance Measure Indicators (Appendix K)
• Updates on the Common Reliability Data section (Section 2) and on New Trains Introduction section (Section 13)

Section	Description
0. Foreword & Meeting the Challenge	Gary Cooper and Mark Johnson
1. Summary
2. Common Reliability Data	Miles per 3 Minute Delay, Miles per Trust Incident (MTIN) and Delays per Incident (DPI)
3. Management for Improvement	Principles, methods and examples to motivate sustained improvement, including Day-to-day; Monitoring and Feedback; and Change Management; Risk Evaluation
4. Seasonal Management	The core activities of fleet maintainers: collecting and using data (Failure Mode Analysis, condition monitoring, analysing trends); managing repeat defects, deferred work and configuration control; developing the maintenance regime; understanding availability
5. Train Preparation	The key frontline resources of fleet maintainers: depots (design, capacity and capability), their management and staffing, including motivation, training, skills development and competence assessment; the High Performing Depot Specification
6. Delivering the Service	Having the right parts when and where you need them (spares holding, floats, measures, link to risk, change control, obsolescence, forecasting), and improving the quality of the parts through effective closed-loop relationships (Unipart Rail, ARTTT, RISAS)
7. The Depot	How to manage the engineering interfaces between vehicles and infrastructure (relationships, preventing problems before they start)
8. The Vehicles	Engineering, operations and planning need to understand each other and pull together: depot planning and train planning (e.g. Rules of the Depot); faults and failures (e.g. 2-way communications); measures of fleet performance. Working together on Seasonal Preparedness is vital
9. On-Depot Fault Finding	How to buy a new train fleet to get the best “out-of-the-box” service performance, risks associated with whole fleet behaviour following introduction
10. The infrastructure	Best practice in TOCs managing outsourced maintenance, connection to training and development of “in-house” skills and competences (principles are also relevant to TOCs which do most of their work in-house)
11. Managing the Impact of Fleet Incidents on the Railway	How ROSCOs can facilitate reliability improvement throughout vehicle lives, including Fleet Management Plans; User Groups; common bits and common issues; optimising for Duty Cycles
12. The Supply Chain	How any business can prepare and implement the strategic and tactical capability of the organisation to plan for and respond to incidents and business disruptions in order to continue business operations at an acceptable pre-defined level
13. New Train Procurement	To maximise the level and consistency of fleet performance during seasonal variances both operations and engineering need to work together to produce robust and effective management plans. This section is intended to promote a structured approach to seasonal planning and operations
14. No Fault Found Warranty Claims	Incidents which occur on the railway will impact on the whole system; this impact is usually measured in train delay minutes. This section includes guidance on how Fleet Incident Management is best implemented
15. RoSCOs
16. Overhaul Management
17. Outsourced Maintenance
18. Business Continuity Management
