Our Key Themes for CP5

Safety and Performance go hand in hand

Continuous Improvement

Digitising the Railway

/ 3

Initiative Safety benefit Performance benefit

FTAP Trains move when railway is

operational 15 mins (TRS)

ZKL(RC) Removes need to access track

when placing protection 2 mins / line block

Runway lights &

10:1 comms app

Visual confirmation of adjacent

line block 5 mins / line block

Lasers on tampers Removes need to access

adjacent line to measure

5-10 mins faster start for

tampers

CCTV on MFS Removes risk of working at

height and in dust

15 mins

(Awaiting isolation)

Lean tool storage & well planned,

lean, organised teams

More competent and strength

in depth 30 - 60 mins +

Magnetic drain plugs Prevents catastrophic failure of

hydraulics 4 shifts per annum

Proximity switches Better quality track at handback More reliable and faster repair

time

Safety and Performance go hand in hand – High Output

Continuous Improvement - behaviour change

We need to:

Unlearn past behaviour

Copy great ideas / best practices

“Copy with pride”

Share successes and learning's.

“Share with pride”

Do things differently.

Structured Continuous Improvement at Network Rail

Many different models:

- Total Quality Management

- Six Sigma

- Lean

- Kaizen

- Process Improvement

- Process re engineering

- 4 ation model:

Eradication

Simplification

Rationalisation

Automation

But all encompass….

Continuous Improvement - Concept of Marginal Gains

"The whole principle came from the idea that if you broke down everything you could

think of that goes into riding a bike, and then improved it by 1%, you will get a

significant increase when you put them all together"

Sir Dave Brailsford, CBE

At the 2004 Olympic Games Great Britain won two cycling gold medals, their best

performance since 1908.

Won multiple world championships in road, track, BMX and Mountain bike racing

Great Britain lead the cycling medal table at the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, winning 8

golds at both, while British cyclists won 59 World Championships from 2003-2013

As Sky Team principal he oversaw both Bradley Wiggins' and Chris Froome's victories in

the 2012 and 2013 Tour de France

Won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Coach Award on 14 December 2008 & 2012.
