1. Member Mechanical stressed that there shouldn’t be any shortfall in the POH outturn

of the workshops. Shops like MCSW, NBQS and JU for coaching POH and KGP , JUDW

and NBQS for wagon POH which are lagging in their proportionate targets must put in

all efforts to make good the shortfall. Any change in feed pattern due to reasons like

KUMBH specials also need to be closely monitored. There should be active

coordination for meeting the feed requirements of workshops.

2. MM mentioned that there should not be any compromise in the quality of overhauled

stock, specially for safety items. Deficiencies pointed out by the NTXRs should be

personally seen by the workshop in-charges and every effort should be made to

ensure that such deficiencies do not recur.

3. During last CMEs conference in May’12, Railways were advised to take action for

augmenting their AC coach POH capacity in the identified workshops. MM desired

that action taken by CMEs/CWEs in this regard should be reflected in the CME’s

monthly PCDOs to him.

4. Regarding the JPO for maintenance of Engineering assets/Infrastructure in

Mechanical workshops, MM instructed that action taken for implementation of the JPO

including the posting of Engineering officers in workshops should be reported by

each CME in his monthly PCDO.

5. AM(PU) mentioned that the action plan advised for improvement in roller bearing

maintenance practices in the workshops should be diligently followed. Audit of

bearing section in the shops must be a regular phenomenon and any deficiency

noticed should be addressed immediately.

6. While laying special emphasis on corrosion repair in coaches, AM(PU) mentioned

that RDSO’s instruction on corrosion repair in coaches as per the revised manual

should be strictly followed. No instance of enroute detachement of coaches on

account of headstock/ solebar cracking is acceptable.

7. AM/ME mentioned that different design of rolling stocks have been inducted into the

system over the last few years. The facilities for their overhaul must be planned in the

workshops. Railways should also ensure that modifications on coaching stocks

advised by RDSO over a period of time are undertaken during POH. It was further

mentioned that RDSO has been advised to make a compendium of instructions and

upload it on their website.

8. Working of PEASD should be ensured 100% on the coaches during POH in the shops.

Similarly functioning of CDTS should be ensured on coaches already fitted with CDTS

during POH in workshops.

9. Use of worn wheel profile and other necessary steps for prolonging the wheel life

should be taken by the Railways. Retrofitment of BMBS on coaches, if not already

done must be completed by the zonal Railways.

10. Necessary action for reducing the cases of Hot axles on wagons as outlined during

past meetings needs to be taken by the Railways to reduce their incidences.

11. AM/ME mentioned that all ‘C’ category unloadable repairs on wagons should be

examined thoroughly in open line so that they are largely attended to in the open line

itself and only minimal repairs should be sent to the workshop. Similarly ROH should

not be done in the workshops except where specifically permitted by board. CMEs

must personally monitor and ensure this.

12. Modification of BCNHL doors under RSP already advised, on one rake each on SCR

and WR should be expedited.

OTHER ISSUES:

1. It was informed that RDSO is uploading statistics of hot axles workshop wise on

Railnet. The data can be used to benchmark the best figures and set an internal

target for self improvement. Similarly all important circulars pertaining to freight

maintenance are also being uploaded on Indian Railways website which the

Railways can use to keep themselves abreast.

2. Priority must be accorded to POH of BOXN and BCN wagons in the workshops to

keep their overall ineffectiveness under control.

3. DME(Chg) mentioned that the workshops need to be fully equipped to handle

maintenance of Bio-toilets as POH of rakes fitted with Biotoilets is already getting

due/will be getting due.

4. Dedicated attention needs to be be paid by the Railways to the POH maintenance of

DEMUs . Adequate unit exchange spares should be generated to minimize the

downtime in workshops. Calling-in programme needs to be issued for DEMUs by the

workshops specially where the inter-Railway movement is involved and the same

should be diligently followed by all concerned.

5. The POH Programme for 2013-14 indicating the targets for the respective workshops

and inter-Railway nomination of workshops for undertaking POH of rolling stock was

discussed in detail. The same was finalised after discussion with CWEs.

6. Advance RSP allotments for 2013-14 were discussed and CWEs were advised to send

in their requirements of items to be undertaken under bulk RSP in 2013-14 latest by

15.01.13.

*******
