Line Shop Analyst III

Short-Term Actions

• Targeted field visits to shops and service centers with lower capitalization rates.
• This would likely require additional support resources, including Accounting Policy participation, to accompany Business Services and Operations teams during shop reviews.
• The objective would be to better understand local practices, identify inconsistencies, and provide real-time guidance on capitalization decisions.

Key focus areas

• Standardized review tools and reporting
• Evaluate whether reporting and dashboards can be streamlined to provide a smaller set of leading indicators that help supervisors more effectively review and manage time charging and capitalization performance.
• Accounting Policy guidance and training
• Develop or refresh Accounting Policy playbooks and guidance documents.
• Translate accounting speak to easy to understand operations tasks
• Provide targeted training for line supervisors, shop personnel, and Business Services teams to reinforce expectations and improve consistency across operating areas.
• Design standards review
• Congduct a joint Accounting Policy and Engineering review of standard design requirements.
• Ensure projects are being designed and executed using approved standard designs, while also considering capitalization implications early in the process.
• Time charging process review
• Evaluate existing tools and processes related to time charging, particularly around PowerOn follow-up activities, which may present opportunities for improvement.
