• CAN BE DIVIDED INTO THREE BROAD BUT OVERLAPING LEVELS:-
1. TPS (TRANSACTION PROCESSING SYSTEMS) – REGISTERING DEMAND, PREPARING RRs, ISSUING TICKETS ETC. (SPTM)
2. MIS (MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS) – BASED ON THE INFORMATION GENERATED NORMALLY BY TPS (MORNING POSITION)
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
3. SIS (STRATEGIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS) – BASED ON WHICH INVESTMENT AND ASSET RENEWAL DECISIONS ARE TAKEN LIKE LINE CAPACITY CHARTS, GTKMs OF TRACKS.
THIS LEVEL DRAWS INPUTS BOTH FROM TPS & MIS.
IR’s LRDSS BELONGS TO THIS CATEGORY
PRS & FOIS FALL IN BOTH TPS & MIS CATEGORIES
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
• IR DECIDED IN EARLY 80s TO GO IN FOR COMPUTERIZED INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR FREIGHT OPERATIONS AND SET UP A CENTRAL ORGANIZATION FOR FREIGHT OPERATIONS SYSTEM (COFOIS)
• THIS WAS REPLACED BY CRIS (CENTRE FOR RAILWAY INFORMATION SYSTEM) FOR DESIGNING & DEVELOPING FOIS

STATE OF THE ART ARCHITECTURE
Architecture provides for
High Availability
High Scalability
Flexibility to interface with other
systems at low costs
STATE OF THE ART ENVIRONMENT
Some statistics of the project
Cost Rs.426.12 Cr.
First Phase (RMS) 233 locations
Second Phase (TMS) 530 locations
Phases in FOIS implementation
RMS Phase – I – Train and Wagon Interchange– Asset Utilization– Rake based consignment tracking and pipeline– Wagon holding– Terminal handling performance
RMS Phase – II– Captures wagon wise data
Phases in FOIS implementation
Phase III – Terminal Management System (TMS)– Commercial activities – Acceptance, booking
and delivery of consignment– Invoice generation, transmission and
accounting – Improved Customer Interface – Electronic
payments, Internet booking

FOIS - MISSION
1.The system as implemented upto now performs the following functions:
oMonitoring of all freight trains indicating their position in computerized teritory and their expected time of arrival at destination. Commodity wise flow of frieght trains for customers like Power Houses, Refineries, Feritlizers and Cement Plants, Steel Depots and Public Frieght Terminals enabling the recipients of consignments to have an accurate forecast of cargo arrivalsgiving them adequate time to complete preparatory arrangement to handle the cargo. oOut bound loaded rakes from the computerized territory are also monitored in the same manner oFull particulars of detachments from block rakes are recorded and updated eliminating chances of wagons getting unconnected or missing. oDetails of rakes/Wagons in various yards, their phase-wise detention in different terminals, eliminating the need for costly manual documentation and tedious retrieval systems and inaccuracies.
oManagerial reports regarding availability of rolling stock, i.e. wagons and locomotives at any instant of time to plan for their most efficient utilization.
oWith the use of the system there has been a visible reduction in the anxiety levels mental stress and confusion amongst railway customers and its operating staff. The voluminous and repetitive exchange of data on telephones round the clock has now been reduced and is gradually being replaced by minimum data input. The improved work environment has significantly simplified planning and execution of assigned tasks.
oThe system information is being used to club less than train load consignments from different loading stations. The words of appreciation from bulk customers who are being advised through e-mail the status of their consignments, is a clear indication that the anticipated benefits from FOIS have already begun to accrue to the customers. Interactive web based solutions to give customised reports to Railway Board, Zonal Railways and Divisions is in place

BENEFITS
IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY PER/MAN YEAR
Drudgery of manual like maintenance of registers etc. is eliminated.
Particulars of crew on train with hours spent on duty.
Re-deployment of major portion of staff involved in wagon tracing and account checking activities.
BENEFITS
IMPROVED CUSTOMER SERVICE & SATISFACTION
Facilitation of acceptance (customer’s orders), billing and cash accountal from identified nodal customer centers and not necessarily at the handling terminals.
E-Commerce facilitates the customers to operate from their premises for the above requirements of billing and cash accountal and thus reduce the burden of logistics management, and in addition drastically bring down the inventory costs in the entire chain of physical distribution system.
Quick settlement of Claims
Just in time Inventory
BENEFITS

BENEFITS
THE ROAD AHEAD
Empty Wagons Distribution System– The system has at any particular point of time, the
details of registration of wagons and their requirement of empties.
– The management lays down the priority for supply of these and issues movement instructions as built in FOIS for assigning the empties to specific stream.
– This will ensure minimum empty haulage and optimum utilization of wagons.
Crew management system
objectives– Do all crew booking activities– Update users on latest information– Cost optimization– Transparency in operations
Crew management system
Functions– Continuous visibility and instant access to
information– MIS system for optimization of use of crew
and assets– Contains all services related to crew
• Booking for train operations• Booking for shunting, coaching services• Information dissemination to crew
Crew management systems
Functions– SMS module for crew booking, calling,
messaging, shortage alerts etc– Can be customized to individual lobbies– Interconnected to all lobbies– Crew MIS report generation– >700 lobbies, 3000 kiosks functioning
Crew booking system
Benefits o Global tracking of crew of all the crew on the
CMS system in real time o WEB enable reports which are available to all
the FOIS network users– Improves asset utilization
Future – Look at breath analysis, biometrics,
Abnormality reporting by crew
THE ROAD AHEAD
Locomotive Repair Management System– Maintenance and performance history of
locomotives and their sub-assemblies– Record of Lab-testing of fuels, lubricating
oils and cooling water for diesel loco.– Will compare successive tests results.
THE ROAD AHEAD
Wagon Repair Management System– Record of work performed in yard and sick
line including a gang wise analysis of work performed
– Maintain inventory of stores in wagon depots, print exception reports of items in short supply or out of stock
– Monitor implementation of modifications in the system.
THE ROAD AHEAD
Fuel Management System– Monitoring of fuel stocks at fueling points
along with record of receipts, issues and losses at this point.
– Record of fuel issues to locomotives and analysis of fuel consumption driver-wise and service-wise
THE ROAD AHEAD
Freight Revenue Accountal System– Will cover collection, accountal and remittance of
freight earnings by stations.– Monitor calculation and collection of charges such
as sidings, cranes etc.– Monitor maintenance of goods outward bookings
and delivery books, goods cash books etc. Checks at traffic accounts office shall become largely redundant because station balance sheet shall be generated by computer.
THE ROAD AHEAD
Safety Management System– An off-line system which will maintain a detailed
record of all accidents for analysis.– Monitor progress of accident enquiries,
compliance of inspection schedules, their follow-up and the safety record of individual staff.
