Issues Raised by Zonal Railways and Production Units ................ 54 Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 3 1. Key Focus Areas 1. Action Plan 2017-18: 1.1. There are total of 41 items listed in the Action Plan for rolling stock 2017-18 as advised in MRS’s DO No.2017/M(C)/141/03 dated 01.03.2017. The progress of these with reference to milestones set will be reviewed on monthly basis at Railway Board. The progress of execution of these items requires close monitoring at the level of CMEs as frequently as needed. The progress needs to be sent by e-mail on or before 5th working day of every month at [email protected]. The list is enclosed as Annexure- AP-I. 1.2. Zonal Railways/PUs were asked to identify additional targets/objectives on the basis of earlier conferences/deliberations held in Railway Board which are relevant to their work areas. The identified targets/objectives can be in the form of new developments / systemic improvements / streamlining of procedures etc. The feedback from Zonal Railways/PUs received in response to MRS’s Letter dt. 01.03.2017 do not confirm this. Following Zonal Railways/PUs have not given the additional targets/objectives – CR, ECR, NER, SCR, SER, SECR, WCR, DMW, ICF, RCF & RWP. 2. Increase in outsourcing of activities and manpower planning 2.1. The benchmarking exercise done as on February 2017 Man Power deployment for certain major activities of rolling stock maintenance indicates varying performance levels indicating scope for better performance of manpower planning in many zonal railways. Railways need to review their deployment and improve their manpower ratio to come closer to the benchmarking standards. 2.2. With increase in maintenance workload without corresponding input of staff, there is a need for increase in the scale of outsourcing of activities. Earlier demarcation of core/non-core activities are progressively losing their relevance in the need for large scale outsourcing. Accordingly, Zonal Railway need to consider further areas for outsourcing as far as necessary and feasible where departmental supervision will ensure the quality output after outsourcing. 3. Computerization of Attendance Management : The new rolling stock code envisages Computerized Attendance Management System in workshops as well as depots as detailed in Chapter 3 under Employees Duties and Responsibilities. In order to improve the attendance discipline at work centers of rolling stock maintenance, Zonal Railways and PUs should switch over Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 4 to computerized attendance management increasingly. To start with each Zonal Railway should put in place Computerized Attendance Management System in at least one workshop and a major C&W Depot / EMU shed during 2017-18. This should be proliferated to cover the balance activity centers in the next year. 4. Review of action taken on the CME Conference items November 2016 & December 2016 Item wise compliance by Zonal Railways & PUs on the decisions taken during the CMEs Conference done on November & December of 2016 shall be reviewed. Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 5 2. Coaching 1. Tejas Train Service fit for maximum speed of 200 kmph shall be introduced by June 2017. Its rake should be well furnished as it will redefine the future of train travel in India. The UDAY trains, announced in the Budget of 2016-17, have to be introduced on priority. ICF may expedite the work of refurbishing one rake of existing Double Decker coaches into UDAY coaches on priority so as to complete the same by July’17 (Board’s letter No. 2016/M©/137/3Pt. dated 20.4.17). 2. Retro-fitment of CBC in ICF coaches The targets of retro-fitment of CBC in ICF coaches for the POH Workshops have already been issued vide Board’s letter dated 17.02.2017. All the coaches turned out from MLR workshops shall be retrofitted, which has also been reiterated vide Board’s letter dt. 22.11.16. This work of retrofitment of CBC carried out by MLR and POH workshops may be done under RSP P.B. Item No. 1254/17-18 as per the targets communicated. Already, 24 coaches have been retrofitted (6 coaches each by JUDW, AMV & LGD W/s and 2 coaches each by PER C/ PER L/GOC). 3. Refurbishing of coaches Newly manufactured ICF design coaches as well as the existing ones already in service need to be furnished/refurbished with more modern interiors and exteriors. The work in 700 coaches under RSP 16-17 has been allotted to CRWS/BPL, ICF, RCF& CR. However, till date only 57 coaches have been turned out by CRWS, BPL and None by ICF, CR & RCF. This needs to be expedited. The work has further been sanctioned for 6000 coaches under RSP 2017- 18.About, 2000 coaches have to be refurbished during each of the next 3 years. 1000 coaches will be refurbished to the standard of Mahamana Express (model rake) during 2017-18. 4. Proliferation of LHB coaches It has been decided to proliferate LHB coaches in the Mainline trains running on IR. Railways may ensure their preparedness. Railways may commence the SS1 Schedule of LHB coaches in the identified Coaching Depots. 5. Proliferation of HOG Trains Population of HOG system for Train Lighting & Air-conditioning in long distance trains will be increased to 55 trains from the present level of 10 trains. Indian Railways have introduced trains with energy efficient Head On Generation (HOG) Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 6 system. ICF / RCF are turning out LHB compliant coaches since Dec’16. At present, 13 trains are running with HOG scheme saving approximately Rs 18 lacs per day. In addition, 40 more rakes planned to be introduced during 2017-18. NR, NCR, ECR & SR should expedite the progress. Efforts should be made to complete necessary modifications in all LHB coaches by Zonal Railways. The trains which are planned for switching over from EOG to HOG are placed at Annexure C. 6. LED base lighting All the coaches turned out by workshops after POH will be fitted with LED lights with effect from Dec’ 2017. 7. Reduction in %age ineffectiveness Target for reduction in ineffective percentage is 10% in this year as compared to previous year. This should be achieved by rationalizing the work practices in mechanical and electrical wings of coaching depot during the current year by integrating maintenance attention during IOH / POH repairs in workshops and open line. 8. Proliferation of IT Based Systems : The activities of the Rolling stock department are gradually transitioning from being largely manually driven to being technology driven. Several IT Based Systems that involve the acquisition, analysis and transfer of data are being provided in coaches and Depots. Some of these are mentioned below:- a. GPS based passenger announcement and passenger information system. b. Infotainment system in coaches. c. Fire detection and fire suppression systems. d. Automated door closing arrangement. e. Brake system of LHB coaches. f. LED destination board, etc. g. Provision of CCTV in the coaches. h. On-board condition monitoring systems (sanction and RSP 2017-18). i. Provision of RFID tags for tending, etc. j. Electronic Passenger Reservation Chart System. WCR have suggested for the integration of some of that systems as mentioned above. 9. Implementation of CMM : CMEs shall certify that: a. All functionalities of CMM and other IT based applications are being utilized on a regular basis. b. The trained staff / supervisors are deputed on a full time basis for ensuring the effective implementation of CMM. c. Depots have uninterrupted high speed Internet access. d. Adequate number of computers, printers, etc. are available in the depots and at other work places. Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 7 e. Computerized systems of record keeping are maintained in the depots so that the data can be easily retrieved and analyzed. Stating from April’17, a Regular assessment of Zonal Railways’ performance based on Punctuality loss, Enroute coach detachment and Unscheduled coach detachment (Primary / Secondary / Other End) shall be carried out by using the ICMS data as well as monthly data uploaded by the Railways on CMM. CMEs to confirm that proper systems and procedures are in place for ensuring the operation and maintenance of these systems and that the Supervisors / Staff have been adequately trained. In particular, the AMCs, wherever required, are in place for the effective maintenance and utilization of these systems. 10. Delay in execution of RSP Works: A lot of delay is noticed in the execution of RSP works including those that are related to Safety. Often, PU’s / Railways are not able to even place indents or there is repeated discharge of tenders and surrender of funds. The fitment of CCTV based surveillance system, Fire and smoke detection system for AC coaches, etc. needs to be speeded up. Proper systems of maintenance for these equipments need to be put in place. 11. Green Corridors 11.1. Five (5) Green Corridors are already functional and eighteen (18) more are identified to be made functional in 2017-18 as detailed in Annexure CHG-I. These corridors must be made operational progressively by consistent follow up with other railways and Railway Board.
