Thus, in order to identify which trams to focus on first in the process improvement and which actions to prioritise, we used the Pareto diagram. The results are presented in Figure 4.

Fig. 5.Evolution of the failure rate as a function of time From the results presented in figure 4, we can see that almost the same pattern is repeated and that the trams most affected by breakdowns are: R120, R113, R114, R116, R117, R111, R127, R121, R132, R115, R122, and R125 . In order to identify the most critical trams in terms of reliability (failure rate), we considered the evolution of the latter over time. This enabled us to make a second classification in terms of evolution, which brought out the R116, R111 and R117 trams (Figure 5). As a result, special attention must be paid to these trams, without neglecting the other trains for day-to-day management, or even enabling failures to be anticipated and effective preventive actions to be taken.
