Traction Issues

Action on decisions taken in previous meetings. Action taken/progress on the following decisions taken in previous meetings should be brought in the meeting.

• Status of hotel load trials • All off POH locos should be fit for 40 day schedule. • Railways should ensure that the stocking of material during POH is as per

approved must change list issued by RDSO. • SWR to get in touch with KRCL for Verna EMD shed. • CMEs to take interest in educating their officers and staff on line haul cost. • Personal attention of CMEs is expected on the issue of DLSc. • REMLOT will add value and EFI and CRDI should be speeded up. • WR, BGKT and DLW should mention the status of air-conditioning of crew

cabs. • NR and SR should mention the sections identified for running of WDP1

DPS. • Electricals of DEMU should be on the similar lines that of EMUs – progress. • NCR has done good job in taking over the charge of diesel crews however,

in some railway technical control is being misinterpreted and control of crews is being handed over. It is easy to handover but difficult to take.

& CME DMW) • Status of gas turbine locomotive.(Sr. ED/MP/RDSO) • CR & SR- conversion of YDM4 loco into WDS6 loco. (CME CR & SR)

17. Other items:

(A) Technologically complex (niche) items: Indian Railways procure several items from trade which are not only technologically complex but are also niche in their respective areas. They can be understood as a major sub-assembly, which is designed to the specific needs of the Railways. Railways may provide functional specifications for such items and the detailed design is left to the discretion of the manufacturer. Some examples (though pertaining to EMD locos) are the AC-AC traction control systems, distributed power system and traction motors. Various manufacturers have developed their own designs to meet the needs of the IR even though the internal designs vary widely from manufacture to manufacturer. The internal design features are generally proprietary though basic logic and algorithm is provided to the user. This is natural in the modern days of complex technology where in-house design capabilities, at RDSO or PUs, are not able to keep pace with the complexity of the rolling stock, nor with the technologically developments elsewhere in the world. Due to this reason, it is also virtually impossible to inspect these sub assemblies in the conventional sense. IR often has to depend on the manufacturer’s certificate itself or the WTC. The inspection, in practice stretches into a certification and verification exercise over a predetermined period of service by the sub assembly. In other words, if the supply has met the IR’s performance specifications AND has performed satisfactorily over a predefined period of time WITH a predetermined population in the field, we may safely conclude that the manufacturer/vendor has met our quality standards and should be suitably awarded a position in the vendor directory. The policy document prepared jointly by the Railway Board, DLW & RDSO for approval of vendors for such technologically complex items has already been e-mailed. Even though the policy deals with EMD locos sub-systems, it would serve as an illustration. The document would underline the need to proceed with caution in developing additional vendors for such niche items and in upgrading the existing ones. There is a need to expand this policy to include items of rolling stock in addition to those of the EMD locos.

5

All CMEs are requested to bring suggestions on items to be included in the policy of niche items. This would include all rolling stock namely locomotives, coaches, wagons, cranes, DMUs, SPARTs etc. These will be discussed in the conference. (B) UTEX: UTEX is a system of service contract with assured quality levels at predetermined prices. This is not to be confused with Unit Exchange. In the system of service contract, the user (a workshop or a diesel shed, for example) enters into a running contract with a service provider who refurbishes sub-assemblies or major parts for the Railways. The system is based on statistical average for refurbishment rather than on measurements of the work content in individual pieces. The contractor is expected to carry out refurbishment of assemblies given to him at fixed contract prices regardless of the actual work content in each piece. A model on these lines exists in DMW which awards works contracts for rehabilitation/refurbishing of ABB turbochargers. The benefit to the Railways is that it gets sub-assembles repaired at fixed prices. It is noteworthy that the refurbished sub-assemblies come with warranty as new. It is upto the contractor to either refurbish the sub-assembly thoroughly or in some cases replace it with a new one. As far as Railways are concerned, the quality and reliability is identical in both cases. There is a precondition, however. Railways must hand over the sub-assembly to the contractor in working condition. The benefit to the contractor would be that he gets order for an assured quantity and often for a period of 2-3 years. He would, therefore, be motivated to invest in equipment and systems in his plant. The OEM of the sub-assembly is a natural candidate for such contracts though it may not be necessary in all cases. ACTION POINTS

i) CME/SWR and CME/DMW will make a presentation on the concept of UTEX. A draft manual/procedure for entering into UTEX should also be prepared and brought to the conference for deliberations. The draft may also be circulated in advance. The draft manual will contain inter-alia following details:

a. How to determine statistical averages? b. How to determine the average pricing for the contract? DMW, for

example, has placed a cap of 75% of new on the refurbishment contracts.

c. Procedure for entering into the contract – works contract, rate running contract, supply contract etc.

d. Procedure for inspection of outgoing and incoming material. e. Etc. etc

6

ii) All CMEs will bring suggestions of sub-assemblies/major parts to be considered for UTEX. This would include all rolling stock namely; locomotives, coaches, wagons, cranes, DMUs, SPARTs etc. These will be discussed in the conference.

(C) Indigenization:

The presentation made by South Western Railway on the real cost of proliferation of vendors for loco assemblies/parts has already been emailed. Though this presentation deals with EMD loco only, similar situations may exist in case of ALCO locos, coaches and wagons. The issue is not limited only to indigenization of imported parts but also includes indiscriminate approval of vendors not qualified to match the standards of the existing ones. The consequences often result in far higher real expenditure than the savings which are envisaged in this exercise of enlarging the vendor list thereby attempting to create a more competitive situation. It has become necessary for the department to understand the need for high quality spares and assemblies which go into our rolling stock. These have a direct impact on safety as well as reliability. Moreover, very often, such enlargement of vendor lists does not bring about any real saving in real terms. Not disregarding the need to bring about transparency and fair competition in our purchase system, the primary objective of a department is to enable running of safe and reliable train service. There is, therefore, a need to build checks and balances in our vendor approval process at RDSO and PUs. It is planned to deliberate in the meeting on how to create such a system. Some of the action points are as follows: i) System of elimination of poorly performing vendors from the existing lists. ii) System of penalty, reprimands and/or DAR action against officers (of vendor approving authorities) whose approvals have led to poorer quality of supplies and/or higher real expenditure for the Railways, as brought out in the attached presentation. iii) System of penalty, reprimands and/or DAR action against officers in the field who have either procured from unapproved sources or have failed to prevent procurement from unapproved sources. This would include not only indenting officers but also those who are either commenting on technical suitability of offers or are members of tender committees. 18. ART & 140 Ton Crane

o AMC of Cranes – CME/ER to present the decisions taken in meeting held at Jamalpur recently and indicate implementation of decisions by zonal railways.

o Zonal railways to indicate crane wise the target dates for the maintenance

infrastructure as per yard stick to be in place.

o Failure of Cranes at Accident Site – Recently, few site failures have been highlighted. CMEs to confirm that:

7

• All preventive maintenance schedules are being carried out as per laid down guideline,

• The operators / drivers / staff are adequately trained including refresher courses and experienced and sufficient no. is available for each crane for round the clock working.

• Safe load indicator is working on each crane. • Adequate stock of critical spares is available with each ZR.

CMEs to also indicate no. of full scale mock drills conducted and no. of

rolling stock handled during these drills by each crane in the last 1 year.

o We need to develop cold as well as hot cutting capability for SS in ARTs quickly in view of increasing proportion of SS stock. ER, WR & SCR have been nominated to conduct trials and develop specifications for different types of equipment. CMEs of these railways to present respective specifications finalised. All zonal railways to accordingly plan for immediate procurement of the equipment for those ARTs, which are likely to attend to accidents involving SS coaches.

FREIGHT ITEMS Routine Agenda Items 1. Performance Review of Equipment failure:

The comparative figures for 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 and the current year (only one month) for Hot axles and Train Partings are as below:

Year (April to March) Hot Axle Train Partings 2008-09 599 793 2009-10 684 778 2010-11 779 717

2011-12 (Up to May 2011) 124 104 2010-11 (upto May 2010) 112 104

The train partings continue to occur in substantial numbers. Each train parting

is a potential accident. Thus, measures have to be taken to stem cases of train partings.

The hot axle cases over Indian Railways have increased by around 14% in

2010-11 as compared to 2009-10. During the CRSEs’ Conference held at Railway Board in April 2011, it was

decided to include analysis of rejections of CTRBs in Workshops by RDSO while analyzing bearing failures. Also, in order to explore the concept of codal life for freight bearings, a format has been circulated by RDSO for collection of information. During discussions, it was also discovered that Workshops outsourcing maintenance of bearings were found to have higher cases of bearing failures per unit of POH outturn as compared to the others.

Railways may discuss: • Action taken by Railways outsourcing maintenance of bearings for

improvement of quality • Action taken to remove deficiencies noticed during Quality Audit of bearing

overhaul in various Workshops • Submission of Bearing Failure reports/Workshop Rejection reports to RDSO in the proper format • Concept of codal life of freight bearings– NCR may make a presentation

Zonal Railways may bring their analysis of the hot axle issue, action taken by them so far and further action plan to improve performance in the area.

2. Controlling damages to wagons during handling

The average arising of Cat ‘C’ unloadables per month during the last five years is as follows:

11

2010-11 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07

809 930 773 585 424 Although the arising of Cat ‘C’ unloadables is showing a downtrend, it is still at very high level, accounting for almost 30% of the POH workload. An enduring mechanism is necessary to control such damages at both Railway Goods sheds and Private Sidings. Also system of charging damages needs to be streamlined. The performance of rehabilitation of wagons railway-wise vis-à-vis targets has been as follows during 2010-11:

Railway ECR ER NCR NR NWR SCR Target of upgraded

The remaining Railways (SWR, ECR and WCR) have not achieved any progress against the targets of BOXN rehabilitation given to them. Railways may discuss: • Rehabilitation performance Railway-wise • Action Plan to control wagon damages • Mechanism to recover losses from parties

3. Performance of CC and Premium rakes The number of CC, Premium and End-to-end examinations per day Railway-wise during the years 2010-11 and 2009-10 are as follows:

12

CC Premium End-to-end Railway 2009-10 2010-11 2009-10 2010-11 2009-10 2010-11

CR 0.32 1.5 6.8 6 12 9 ECR 6.48 6.8 9.6 9.6 5.88 7.5 ECoR 3.27 3 3.8 3.5 13.5 11.5

The above table reveals that over Indian Railways, while the total number of CC and premium examinations have gone up by 7.9% and 4.8% respectively, the end-to-end examinations have also increased by almost 9.6%. Each time an end-to-end rake is converted into premium rake, 5 examinations per month get reduced to just 2 examinations per month. Assuming an average of 12 hours are lost for each examination from placement to release, this translates into a loss of 1.5 days per rake per month or a loss of 18 days per rake per year. If all end-to-end examinations are replaced with premium, additional 39 rakes can be made available throughout the year through savings in time lost due to detention of rakes for examination. Further, it is found during random checks by NCO organization that the incoming CC and premium rakes are sometimes found to have brake power below 85%. This needs to be checked. An average of 771 trains were found running with invalid BPC during 2010-11. This also points towards unsafe running and needs to be controlled. Railways may discuss: • Strategy to minimise end-to-end examination on the Railways • Poor brake power in rakes arriving for PME • Trains running on invalid BPC

4. Special Drive to eliminate cases of Hand Brake Wheel working out:

The Aligarh mishap has opened our eyes to a very potent source of accidents on mechanical account. As per the CRS Report, the accident occurred because no riveting was done for securing the short spindle of hand brake wheel with the sleeve. Only welding of sleeve with short spindle had been

13

done. The other side of the sleeve also indicated signs of welding with long spindle. The examination of the rivet hole indicated that no rivet was available in the hole for quite some time, as the hole was badly rusted. Post the mishap, it was instructed by Board that a special safety drive should be undertaken in order to attend to all cases of hand brake wheel problem. To prevent such cases in the future, the modification suggested by RDSO was also to be implemented. Railways may bring out the results of the drive in the following format:

Wagons in which problems were found Total wagons

examined Hand brake wheel found

missing

Spindle improperly

riveted

Other problems related to

hand brake

Wagons modified as per RDSO drawing

Railways may discuss the results of the drive.

5. BCNHL Door Problem

The BCNHL doors have been an area of concern since the inception of the wagon. Presently, RDSO is developing a modified sliding door design which will be first trial run on WR rakes. Railways may give the following information in regard to BCNHL doors:

Parameter Hinge door

design: Original design

Hinge door

design: Mod I (long cotter

s)

Hinge door design: Mod II

(changed design of

cotters and external

tower bolts)

Hinge door design:

BESCO’s design

(pressed door design of four hinges instead

of six )

Sliding door design:

Temaco’s design (with sliding roller

at the top)

Holding of BCNHL wagons

Cases of doors hitting fixed structures

RDSO to give a presentation on the modified door design. Railways may discuss the Action Plan for immediate and long-term solution of

the problem.

14

6. Status of pending CRS permissions for load/speed enhancement

While the sanction of the Railway Board is available for running of BOXN and BCN wagons according to RDSO’s latest Speed Certificates, the Railways are yet to take sanction of the same. Thus, while BCNM1, BCNAM1, BCNAHSM1 have been certified for running at 75 Kmph in the loaded condition at CC+6+2, and for 65, 65 and 75 Kmph at CC+8+2, Railways are still running them at 60 Kmph. Similarly, BOXNM1 and BOXNHSM1 wagons have been cleared for 75 Kmph at CC+8+2 on the MGS-GZB section of Allahabad division on NCR. BOXNHL wagons have been certified for a speed of 75 Kmph in the loaded condition, but the Railways are yet to obtain CRS sanction for the same. Status of CRS Clearance (along with speeds) for the following wagons may be discussed:

Type of Wagon CC CC+6+2 CC+8+2 BOXNM1

BOXNHSM1 BOXNHL BCNAM1

BCNAHSM1 BCNM1

BCNHSM1 BCNHL BOST

BOSTHS Double-stack Containers

Railways may discuss their status and indicate the timeframe in which the requisite sanctions shall be obtained for various wagons.

7. Upgradation of maintenance facilities

It is found that proposals for Upgradation of maintenance facilities are inadequately prepared, as a result of which they get dropped at the last minute. The ground work for preparation of proposals for the Budget session should start immediately to ensure well-drafted and adequately justified proposals. The multi-disciplinary EDs’ Committee of Railway Board had recommended upgradation of infrastructure for maintenance of freight stock. The proposals for setting up of world-class freight examination facilities were sanctioned in the year 2008 at TKD, MGS and Gooty. However, there seems to be no progress on the implementation of these Projects. Lack of progress on these Projects is proving to be an obstacle in further planning of such facilities at other locations.

15

Railways may discuss: • Status of various points mentioned in the EDs’ Committee and action plan

for their upgradation • Status of World Class facility Projects and targets for implementation • Further suggestions for capacity creation

8. Maintenance of New Design BOXNHL and BCNHL wagons

MGS, NKJ and Bhilai have been nominated for undertaking ROH of BOXNHL wagons. Rayanapadu Workshop, in addition to Jhansi and Raipur Workshops has been nominated for maintenance of Stainless Steel wagons. KJGY/NR and Shambhupura/WR are to base BCNHL wagons for examination and ROH. Railways may discuss maintenance preparedness including spares planning at the above-mentioned bases and suggest new bases for stainless steel wagons to be started in 2011-12/12-13.

9. Budget and Expenditure – Wagon Maintenance Wagon fleet is the main source of Railways’ revenue. It thus needs to be maintained well to face the challenges of increased loading, higher speeds, larger rakes and longer intervals between maintenance. Availability of funds for wagon maintenance needs to be monitored. Railways may discuss pre-August review status and bring out any specific shortfalls, PU-wise, to seek a mid-course correction at RE stage.

Year Final Budget Grant Actual Expenditure on Wagon Maintenance

2008-09 2009-10 2010-11

For the current year, Railways may discuss: • Specific PU-wise shortfall and additional requirement • Impact of fund shortage on material procurement and execution of Works

under revenue Special Agenda Items 1) Maintenance of Private Wagons

16

1.1 Capacity and Preparedness

The stock of private wagons (wagons owned by other than Indian Railways) is increasing every year. With the introduction of new schemes like PFT, SFTO, AFTO etc., the size of the private wagon fleet is expected to increase at a fast rate. Present policy guidelines lay down that all private wagon maintenance is to be undertaken by the Railways. This situation brings the following aspects into prominence: a. Requirement of developing capacity for maintenance of a larger

number of wagons at locations suitable to the private parties b. Providing a certain acceptable service level to the private players and

minimizing stock detentions c. Maintaining transparency and uniformity while dealing with different

private players Railways may provide a list of private wagons ownership-wise active on their system and discuss the repercussions of the changing scenario and the preparedness required to deal with the same.

1.2 Creation of Wagon Maintenance Deposit Account (WMDA) and system for collection of maintenance charges WMDA are to be created at zonal level for streamlining the system of receipt, accountal and expenditure of funds received as maintenance charges. Mechanical Department is required to take the initiative to ensure that WMDA is created in their Railway and that receipts from the Centralised Deposit Account (CDA) maintained with Sr. DFM, DLI, NR are received regularly in the WMDA of their Railway in accordance with the % distribution advised by Railway Board. Railways may confirm opening of WDMA and bring out issues , if any, I implementation of the system.

1.3 Privatization of Wagon Maintenance

Railways may discuss the instances of private maintenance of freight stock in their Railway if any, feasibility of privatization of maintenance and the approach that needs to be adopted in the matter.

2) New Designs and Developments in Wagon Technology The following major strides have been made in wagon technology. RDSO may brief Railways through a presentation.

2.1 Development of indigenous couplers- Strategy for universalisation of design for all wagons may be discussed

17

2.2 BOXNHAM wagons are high-speed high-capacity variants of BOXN stock. Progress of conversion of BOXN wagons to BOXNHAM wagons at JHNSW/KTTW Workshops may be discussed. Strategy for bulk conversion may be discussed.

2.3 Development of Autocar wagons: RDSO may give a presentation on the

new design. 2.4 Design of 25t and 32.5t axle load wagon at RDSO is a future-oriented

Project and aims to enable facing the challenges of DFC 2.5 Track-friendly bogies of 25 t axle load 3) Identification and segregation of Mechanical (Commercial)

functions on Railways Unlike other maintenance departments of Railways, Mechanical Department has remained very closely associated with operations and commercial functions of Railways. With increasing emphasis on customer satisfaction and increasing private investment in Railways, it is necessary to branch out Mechanical (Commercial) functions at Divisional and Headquarters level. The functions which would fall under Mechanical (Commercial), inter alia, could be as under: • Planning and providing maintenance to privately owned wagons • Mechanised loading and unloading system in Railway Goods Sheds

and monitoring and control of Mechanised loading, tippler at private siding

• Siding agreements, Private Wagon maintenance agreements, AMC for weighbridges, maintenance element in AFTO, SFTO, MWIS, LWIS, WLS etc.

• Weighbridge planning, installation and maintenance • Maintenance at Private Freight Terminals, Multi-modal Logistics part

of DFCCIL • ODC movements • Lashing and securing, regulation, non-ISO containers • Mechanised Parcel handling systems • Advertising on Rolling Stock

Railways may discuss the organizational impact and develop a strategy to introduce this change

4) Long Haul Operations

Instructions for long haul were issued in March 2011. Progress of long haul and any issues in the Board’s policy may be discussed. Long haul provides an opportunity to increase and improve profitability of Diesel operations. Also, it is a precursor to DFC operations. A strategy to prepare rolling stock for long haul may be discussed.

Project Item:

Administrative control of FIAT bogie frame factory at Budge Budge, Kolkata.

A factory is being set up at Budge Budge (near Kolkata) for manufacture of FIAT bogie frames. These bogie frames will be supplied to RCF/Kapurthala, RCF/Rae Bareilly and also to zonal railways to cater for spares requirement.

A decision is required whether this factory should function under the administrative control of RCF/Kapurthala against whose sanctioned work the factory is being constructed or under Eastern Railway where the factory is located. Both alternatives would have certain advantages. Having combined control with areas of responsibilities defined can also be considered. A distribution which will enable effective management of the factory could be to assign the functions of manpower planning and staffing, maintenance of plants and assets, security and other day to day administrative functions to Eastern Railway, and project management for setting up the factory along with stores management including material planning and procurement when the factory is operational to RCF/Kapurthala.

Another parallel case is that of Dankuni factory which is located on ER but will cater exclusively to DLW. Since this factory has been sanctioned for ER, the work of construction as well as manpower planning & staffing are being done by ER. However, the functions of stores management may be assigned to DLW as the work will be undertaken against RSP sanctions for DLW.

Concerned CMEs may give their views during the discussion in CMEs

conference to facilitate a decision in the matter.

Plan Head – 41 (WORKSHOP ITEMS)

1. Feedback on CRB’s DO to General Managers:

CRB, vide his DO No.2009/M(W)/814/35 Safety Pt. dated .03.11, while emphasizing the importance of workshops in maintaining requisite safety standards in rolling stocks and giving exhaustive attention to the passenger amenities portion, has impressed upon General Managers to give adequate attention on upkeep of workshop infrastructure, timely availability of materials and training of manpower. In this regard, General Managers have been advised to conduct annual inspections of the major workshops on their Railways on the pattern of annual open line inspections. They have also been advised to review and ensure adequate delegation of powers to the workshop in-charges to cater to the timely availability of material, specialized training needs and other infrastructural requirements including those necessitated by the factories act. The feedback in this regard may kindly be given by the Railways on both Annual inspection by GMs and review of delegation of powers to CWMs.

2. Feedback on action Plan decided during CMEs’ Meeting:

To discuss the quality of POH of coaches, a meeting was convened in Railway Board on 8.3.11 in which a number of related issues were deliberated. The minutes of the said meeting were issued vide Board’s letter No. No.2009/M(W)/814/35/Safety/Pt. dated 25.03.11. Railways to confirm the progress on the course of action decided in the meeting. Railways may also confirm that the feedback on 04 items namely curtains, rexines, PVC and laminates has been given to RDSO. RDSO to apprise the action taken on these items subsequently.

3. Annual Performance Appraisal of officers working in workshops: Board, vide its letter No.2009/SCC/3/1 dated 2nd February 2009, had advised the procedure for writing the ACRs (now APAR) of officers working in workshops. Railways are requested to confirm that instructions of the Board in this regard are being followed without any deviation.

4. Workshop Portal:

The workshop portal in a more detailed format has been hosted at the Railnet URL: http://10.1.5.78:8081/MCDO/. In addition to POH outturn, the progress of RSP works, POH unit cost, POH cycle time, incentive payments, staff strength, coach sick marking and local passing have also been added to the site. It is seen that a number of workshops/headquarters are not feeding the data regularly in the portal. It can be appreciated that a meaningful analysis is possible only when complete data is fed into the

27

portal. Railways must ensure feeding the data regularly for proper utilization of the portal. The workshops can view each other’s performance in all the fields. It may be confirmed by the CMEs in their PCDO each month that the latest data has been updated as advised by AM(PU) in his DO No.2009/M(W)/814/35/Safety dated 27.06.11.

5. Assembly of wheel sets: Due to shortfall in capacity of wheel set assembly at RWF, six workshops (PER(C), JMP, ASR, UBLS, PL and PR) have been advised by Board to undertake assembly of wheel sets for self- consumption or dispatch to designated consignees. The total no. of wheel set assemblies planned in workshops during 2011-12 is 5200. The targets for the workshops were finalised after discussion with individual Railways. The progress on the said work may be apprised by the concerned zonal Railways.

6. Shortfall in manufacture of ICF assembled bogies:

Due to switch over to 18-month POH periodicity of coaches, there is an increasing requirement of ICF bogies for unit exchange. The four Railways ER, NR, SR and SWR have been regularly allotted the RSP work for manufacture of ICF assembled bogies. In some of the Railways, there has been a lag of more than one year in completing the allotted work under RSP. As per the data taken from workshop portal, the progress of all the four Railways has been below the target for the year 2010-11 as can be seen from the table below:

Railway Target Actual ER 180 156 NR 50 0 SR 250 126

SWR 100 62 Railways may bring an action plan and advise the time lines by which the target would be achieved.

7. Setting up/expansion of facilities for maintenance of LHB coaches in workshops: The following programme for setting up/enhancing POH capacities of LHB coaches was decided in the last CME’s Conference. Augmentation of capacity in existing workshops: 1. Jagadhri – From present levels of 15 to 35 per month 2. Lilluah – From 10 to 30 per month 3. Lower Parel – From 15 to 30 per month

28

Creation of capacity in other workshops: 1. Mysore – 10 coaches per month 2. Peramur(Carr.) – 25 coaches per month 3. Lallaguda – 20 coaches per month

Later on ECoR was also asked to develop facilities for LHB at MCSW workshop. The Railways may confirm that the Works Programme proposals for inclusion in the Budget 2012-13 are being sent by 31.10.2011.

8. Quality Issues: An analysis of the cases of coaches getting sick marked within 100 days of POH in 2010-11 over the IR shows the following major reasons: (i) water tank/system leakage (13%) (ii) Bolster/axle box spring defective (11.3%) (iii) brake cylinder defective/B.P/F.P (8.5%) (iv) wheel defects (5.6%) and (v) D.V defects (5.4%).

The cases of en route coach detachments on account of roller bearing failures have also increased in the recent past. The subject was discussed in detail during CME’s meeting held at Railway Board on 8.3.11. A detailed feedback on the action taken by the Railways in compliance of the items discussed and circulated vide the minutes of the meeting is desired.

9. Issues pertaining to LHB Coaches: The following issues need to be addressed by RDSO: a. High Consumption of LHB Wheel Discs: It has been reported by Railways that the average life of LHB wheel discs is less than 3 years while the POH periodicity of LHB coaches itself is 3 years. The reasons for same need to be critically looked into by RDSO and suitable remedial measures suggested for implementation. b. High incidences of roller bearing failures:

During 2010-11, there have been a number of cases of en route coach detachment of LHB coaches on account of roller bearing failures. There have been 05 en route roller bearing failures in LHB coaches (in a population of 817 coaches) as compared to conventional coaches where there are 33 cases ( in population of 45183 coaches) i.e severity in LHB coaches is much more. RDSO to study and issue comprehensive instructions on maintenance of LHB bearings.

29

c. Incidences of jerk in LHB coaches:

The phenomenon of jerk in LHB coaches during run has still not been addressed adequately .Though some refinements have been identified by RDSO , a conclusive solution of the problem still needs to be found. RDSO has to develop a proper system for obtaining regular feedback for addressing the problems being faced in the field on priority. RDSO needs to institutionalize a system of feedback and apprise the action taken on each of these items in their MCDOs.

10. POH of 140T Cranes:

Recently, a few cases of 140T crane failure at accident site have been highlighted. References are also received from Zonal Railways regarding maintenance and other issues related to 140T cranes. For resolving the issues, a review meeting should be regularly held by RDSO with Eastern Railway, Central Railway and some user Railways only. The items which need to be discussed are: i. Methodology of procurement and distribution of spares for

MLR/POH/regular maintenance of cranes. ii. Must change item during POH. iii. AMC of cranes and its sub-assemblies. iv. Action plan to liquidate overdues, if any. v. Codal life and scope of extension beyond 26 years. vi. Infrastructure at depot level – T&P, initial stocking, lubricants etc.

11. Feedback on 18-month POH:

Board, vide its earlier letter, had already enhanced the POH interval from 12 to 18 months for Mail/Express coaches. Since now an experience of about 2 years has already been gained on the revised periodicity, Railways may critically analyze and furnish information on the following after evaluating the same on their system: i. %age of coaches switched over to 18-month POH periodicity.

ii. %age of coaches where IOH is handled in the depots by arranging

overhauled bogies from the workshops and their average cycle time.

iii. %age of coaches which are booked to the workshop even for IOH instead of taking unit exchange overhauled bogies and the average cycle time for IOH of coaches in such cases.

iv. Average reduction ineffective %age of coaching stock achieved as compared to the period prior to implementation of 18-month POH periodicity.

30

v. Facilities needed in the depots to carry out the IOH with coaches

being sent to shops @ 18 months intervals.

12. PH – 4100, M&P

I. Installation & Commissioning of machines – The progress of machine commissioning is very tardy. On an average almost 100 machines, each costing more that Rs. 25 lakh, are pending installation / commissioning for more than 6 months. This translates into blockage of huge funds in addition to reduction in production capacity. Individual officers must be made responsible for this work by allotting machines to them.

II. Performance based Sanction & Allotment of funds under PH-41 – The fresh

sanction of M&P as well as allotment of funds will be made strictly based on performance of the zonal railway / PU in expenditure and commissioning of machines.

III. Mandatory Comprehensive AMC for High Value / Sophisticated M&P –

Based on the feedback received from zonal railways and PUs, Railway Board is considering a proposal from COFMOW for inclusion of mandatory CAMC for six groups of machine as part of the procurement process itself. All railways except DLW have already given their consent for the same. Once approval is given by Board on the same, railways would be required to give a commitment along with machine indents that adequate provision of funds from revenue budget will be made for payment of CAMC charges.

13. PROPOSED REVISED YARDSTICKS / NORMS FOR CREATION OF

REVENUE CHARGED GAZETTED POSTS IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

The following tables give the existing provisions and proposed yardsticks / norms for each area. CME may please provide feedback on each area prior to the conference to DME(P)-II (Fax 011 2338 9696, email dmep2@rb.railnet.gov.in).

1. Performance review of Railways:

(a) Enroute coach detachments on ownership basis Status - Annexure – 1

There have been 19 cases of detachments in just 2 months during the year which shows increasing trend. NR, SER, SR, ECoR & ECR may take note of this and take corrective measures.

(b) Punctuality losses on C&W account

Status – Annexure-2 Average per month punctuality loss of 128 direct cases has shown increase of 140 per month during the current year.

2. Recent policy directives and guidelines

i) Model guidelines for pest and rodent control in coaches and in depot premises were issued by the Board vide letter No.2000/M(C)/141/7 Vol. IV dated 21.12.2010.

ii) Model guidelines for setting up of mechanized laundries in BOOT scheme issued vide letter No. 2009/M(C)/165/6 dated 14.01.2011.

iii) For the sake of uniformity/standardization in the process, equipment and layout of mechanized laundry, Committee’s recommendation issued by CWE/ER vide letter No. MPD/16/2009-10/HWH dated 11.05.2011 may be adopted by the Railways.

iv) Revised model guidelines indicating scope of work and special conditions for mechanized cleaning and CTS have been circulated by ECoR and WR.

v) Inspection protocol for all cleaning/ C&W contracts issued by the Board vide letter No. 95/MC/141/1 Vol.II dated 21.05.2010 to be strictly enforced.

3. Coaching nich item – technologically complex Railways may suggest details of nich items requiring stringent quality norms, vendor developments and declared eligibility criteria etc. to obtain best service performance.

4. Evaluation of 18 month POH periodicity of ICF design mail/ express

coaches (Annexure-3): Policy directives have been issued vide Board’s letter No. 2007/MC/141/1

dated 06.07.2011 for implementation of 18 month POH periodicity of mail/ express coaches. While the scheme has been implemented in most of the

47

Railways, some Railways have raised logistics problems due to high inventory and transportation of bogies. Railways may critically analyze and evaluate the implementation of enhanced POH periodicity on their system and suggest changes, if any, required. RDSO may coordinate and give a presentation on current status.

5. Cleanliness of passenger coaches:

The comprehensive policy directives have been issued for implementation of mechanized cleaning, clean train station, on-board house-keeping and pest and rodent control measures. While some Railways have shown improvement in the cleaning quality, there is not much change in the overall coach house-keeping standard of coaching trains. The general perception is that the cleaning standard still requires lot of improvement as the quality continues to be far below from the satisfactory. Railways may discuss:

Reasons for not showing visible improvement Weaknesses in the contract management system Suggestion for improvement in the coach housekeeping

standard

6. Setting up of Mechanized laundries

Policy directives have been issued vide Board’s letter No. 2009/M(C)/165/6 dated 14.01.2011for setting up of mechanized laundries in the identified depots. 8 new laundries have been set up (CR-1, ER-2, SCR-2, WR-1, NFR-2). The work is in progress in 5 more laundries (ECR-1, SER-1, SECR-1, SR-1, ECR-1). Progress of the NCR-2, NER-3, NWR-1, SR-2, SWR-3, NR-3, WCR-2, SCR-1, ECoR-3, CR-1, SER-1 Railways is not satisfactory: Status on the Railways - Annexure – 4 The following issues may be discussed:

1. BOOT model without land lease 2. Performance standard of existing laundries 3. On-going contracts requiring revision/ attention to weak areas –

suggestion for further improvement

7. Performance review of coach furnishing/ bogie components: Zonal Railways to provide feedback on performance of upgraded materials

as per prescribed format.

48

RDSO shall make an outline presentation on the performance, review of technical specification and status of vendor development.

(a) Cushioning materials for seats and berths

(b) UIC vestibules, expected life, warranty etc.

(c) PVC flooring, upholstery for seats & berths and brake gear bushes to the latest specifications

(d) LED based display system

8. Performance of hybrid Stainless Steel coaches–repairs to the bolster:

The cracks reported in the body bolster of stainless steel hybrid coaches have serious safety implications. Railways are required to comply the rectification procedure as circulated by RDSO/RCF.

Railways may confirm the strict compliance of the repair procedure and

advise the status in the following format:

Total Holding

No. of coaches in which cracks/defects observed (Coach No. and type to be mentioned)

Remarks

9. Manufacture and operation of Double Decker coaches:

In a quantum leap towards development of high-capacity coaches with interiors and aesthetics to world class standards, a higher height (4366mm) EOG Air conditioned double decker coach to LHB-FIAT design was developed by RDSO & RCF. This coach design has a body width of 3135mm. 128 seats coach design has been cleared for operations at a maximum permissible speed of 160 kmph. One complete rake of such EOG AC Double-Decker Chair Cars was turned out by RCF in 2010-11. Following preparatory field exercises, action is underway for obtaining CRS Sanction for induction of this rake in regular service between Howrah and Dhanbad. Based on the experience gained through manufacture of the first rake and route proving runs etc., the design parameters have been refined (particularly the body width has been reduced to 3050mm). It is planned to manufacture two such rakes during 2011-12 for induction in train services between Mumbai-Ahmedabad and Delhi-Jaipur.

49

RCF may earnestly work upon to manufacture the prototype coach to the revised design parameters to enable RDSO to conduct the necessary oscillation trials for issuance of a final speed certificate. • RCF may advise current status and the target date for turning out

of the first rake for induction in services from RCF. • WR, NWR & NR must also undertake preparatory exercises and

confirm route clearance, particularly from the stand point of infringements that might be caused to the fixed structures i.e. platform shelters/cover over platforms owing to the higher height of the double decker coach shell and the distance between the center line of the track and the platform coping as governed by the schedule of dimensions, because of the well portion of the lower deck being lower than the station platform level.

• These Railways must also be in preparedness for processing of

timely CRS sanction once the final speed certificates is issued by RDSO.

10. Proliferation of LHB coaches – issues involved:

(i) High instances of premature bearing failures:

Enroute coach detachments on LHB coaches on roller bearing failure account per unit coach holding are much higher as compared to conventional ICF design coaches, despite the overhaul/ refurbishment of these bearings being fully entrusted to the OEMs. RDSO need to comprehensively address this issue and take up the issue with OEMs.

(ii) Cracks/breakages in wheel discs and wheel shelling:

Recent months have also witnessed quite a few instances of circumferential cracks/breakages in the web portion of LHB wheel discs. The wheel shelling phenomena is also continuing requiring frequent tyre turning. The comprehensive review of LHB wheel design needs to be undertaken by RDSO in wake of safety implications and current status advised.

iii) Center Buffer Couplers:

Jerks emanating from CBCs have been an area of concern all along. Remedial measures such as reduction in draft gear preload of coach CBC and use of ‘H’ type tight lock loco CBC with lower draft gear preload has shown some improvement. However there has been a marked improvement with the trials with balanced type draft gear in the coach CBC. A detailed technical evaluation report is to be drawn up by

50

RDSO in consultation with concerned Railways where such trials have been conducted. The specifications for coach CBC needs to be accordingly firmed up. RDSO may give presentation on current status indicating time frame for finalization of the specification and vendor approval.

iv) Maintenance infrastructure, procurement of spares, training of

staff • Zonal Railways should confirm their preparedness for

induction of LHB rakes on their system. 11. CRS Sanction for new design of Rolling stock:

Following new type of stock is envisaged to be manufactured for induction in regular service during 2011-12:

(i) LHB – FIAT design EOG non-AC sleeper Class & General Class

coaches (LWSCN and LS) for running in mail/ express trains etc. (ii) LHB-FIAT design EOG non-AC chair cars in ‘day’ Duronto trains etc. (iii) LHB-FIAT design EOG AC double decker chair cars.

Besides above, LHB-FIAT EOG AC rakes are also planned for induction in new Duronto services and replacement of existing Rajdhani/Shatabdi services with ICF design coaches. Allotments for the above noted stock have been advised to the respected owning Railways from time to time.

Concerned Railways (Originating/Passing-through/Terminating) must timely plan and seek CRS sanction besides organizing necessary infrastructure for maintenance and operations with such stock. RDSO must ensure timely issuance of the final speed certificates for the above noted stock, if not already done so. The owning Railways may coordinate the process for respective trains.

12. Manpower Planning:

Railways have been advised to carry out comprehensive review of manpower planning, based on current workload and the extant pattern of maintenance and running of trains taking the benchmarking norms for manpower issued in terms of Board’s letter No. 2000/MC/143/5 dated 24.12.2001 as a base reference and initiate action for creation of posts/ staff recruitment in line with Board’s directives issued vide letter No. E(G)/2003/EC-2/3 dated 31.10.2003, wherever shortfall is noticed arising out of it. Railways have reported that as per 31.03.2011, there is a net shortfall of about 29,665 nos. against total requirement of 97,876 (shortfall of 30%). Railway-wise position is given in Annexure-5. Action plan for Railways for creation of posts and filling up of vacancies may be advised.
