Planejamento de mão de obra ferroviária

Abstract

With the large growth of the Brazilian economy and the identification of an disbalanced transport mode distribuition, the railroad industry is experiencing an accelerated growth that should be sustained by the efficient allocation of human and material resources. In this context, this paper discusses the railway manpower planning, more specifically, the scaling of the number of train drivers required for the operation in the specific railroad studied. The study was made using real data from a Brazilian railway concessionaire, and the result was a creation of a spreadsheet tool developed in Microsoft Office Excel. The proposal is to structure the manpower planning, in a short and medium term. The SIMOF - Railway Labor Simulator, is based on the Colson equations for the staff allocation, which after being applied, piece by piece, in the railway in question, considering variables such as transit time, transported volume and monthly train schedule had its results validated by supervisors, engineers and inspectors of the railroad operation.
