e. Ensuring realization of the full potential of the assets.
f. Adopting and maintaining the best practices in the industry with excellence in all areas of operation.
g. Arranging relief and rescue in any unlikely event of Railway disasters.
While pursuing the above mission, the orientation of Rolling Stock Production/Maintenance Vertical should remain in complete consonance with the Corporate Objectives of Indian Railways.
102. रोलिंग स्टॉक वर्टिकल (Rolling Stock Vertical) के मिशन क्षेत्र (Mission Areas)
नोट: Rolling Stock में Coaches, Wagons, Locomotives, EMU, DEMU, Trainset, MEMU, Tower Cars, Power Car, SPART, ART, ARMV तथा अन्य Special Purpose Coaches, Wagons एवं Rolling Stocks शामिल हैं।
Rolling Stock Vertical का मुख्य दायित्व भारतीय रेल के Rolling Stock का Design, Manufacture, Deploy तथा Maintenance करना है। इस कार्य के Mission Areas निम्नलिखित हैं—
a. Rolling Stock के लिए सर्वोत्तम डिज़ाइन (Optimal Designs) विकसित करना तथा Life Cycle Costing Basis पर सबसे किफायती (Most Economical) विकल्प का चयन करना।
b. Production Units अथवा External Manufacturing Units में Rolling Stock का निर्माण (Manufacture) कड़े मानकों (Stringent Standards) के अनुसार तथा कम लागत (Cost-effective Manner) में करना।
c. चल परिसंपत्तियों (Moving Assets) का Maintenance इस प्रकार करना कि वे अपनी पूरी Codal Life के दौरान अधिकतम परिचालन दक्षता (Optimal Operational Efficiency) तथा सुरक्षा (Safety) प्रदान करें।
d. Machinery & Plant का Planning, Procurement तथा Maintenance करना।
e. Assets की पूर्ण क्षमता (Full Potential) का अधिकतम उपयोग (Realization) सुनिश्चित करना।
f. उद्योग में सर्वोत्तम कार्य प्रणालियों (Best Practices) को अपनाना तथा बनाए रखना और संचालन के सभी क्षेत्रों (All Areas of Operation) में उत्कृष्टता (Excellence) प्राप्त करना।
g. रेल दुर्घटनाओं (Railway Disasters) जैसी किसी भी अप्रत्याशित स्थिति में Relief एवं Rescue की व्यवस्था करना।
उपरोक्त Mission को पूरा करते समय Rolling Stock Production/Maintenance Vertical का कार्य भारतीय रेल के Corporate Objectives के पूर्ण अनुरूप (Complete Consonance) होना चाहिए।
103. Organisation
The Organizational Structure of the Rolling Stock Production/Maintenance Vertical is driven by the manufacture and maintenance philosophy of Rolling Assets and is shown in the chart below.
Area of Responsibility
- EDME (Chg.) – Responsible for all activities from design of new coaches to condemnation of coaching stock.
- EDME (Frt.) – Responsible for all activities from design of new wagons to condemnation of freight stock.
- PED (W&D) – Responsible for all activities of Railway Workshops and for development/introduction of new/advanced/improved technologies in Rolling Stock.
- EDME (EnHM & Projects) – Responsible for all activities of cleaning/housekeeping of passenger carrying Rolling Stock and is Nodal Officer on GCC Services. In addition, EDME (EnHM & Projects) is also responsible for execution of project work related to Rolling Stock.
- CAO (COFMOW) – Responsible for all activities for procurement of Machinery & Plant (M&P) and other technological items for Zonal Railways and Production Units (PUs).
- CAO (WPO) – Responsible for all activities for establishing new infrastructural establishment for Rolling Stock.
While the manufacturing practices in the Workshops are shaped by the strategies that characterize the internationally acclaimed World Class Industries, the maintenance philosophy balances between the following two extremes—
a. Corrective Maintenance – Running the assets non-stop and attending only when they break down, thus enhancing availability at the cost of reliability.
b. Preventive Maintenance – Withdrawing the assets from traffic for frequent and prolonged maintenance attention, thus enhancing reliability at the cost of availability.
Choosing a mid-course between the two, Indian Railways contain the ineffective hours within the stipulated targets by restricting the frequency and duration of preventive maintenance schedules.
Emerging technologies with fit and forget components, enhanced quality conscience and principles of predictive maintenance further help in reducing the quantum of preventive maintenance with higher and higher levels of availability.
