Rolling Stock Maintenance: A major cost factor for Rail Operators
Maintenance accounts for approx. 30% of the lifecycle costs of a high-speed train,
making it the largest rolling stock operating cost factor besides energy
Comments Life Cycle Costs – High-speed fleet
In percent
Depreciation
Besides energy and depreciation,
maintenance is the largest cost factor of a high speed train
Over the lifecycle of a high-speed train, maintenance costs exceed
depreciation
Approx. 60% of maintenance costs are personnel cost and 40% for
material / spare parts
For a fleet in service, maintenance cost is the major cost position
subject to optimization as
depreciation and energy stay constant during the fleet’s lifecycle 23% 30% 30% 11% 7% 100% High-speed Energy Maintenance

Lean Workshop Transformation – Objective
Lean Workshop Transformation eliminates the root causes creating inefficiencies in the
workshops by creating a higher level of industrialization of the workshop
A B C
Objective of Lean Workshop Transformation Typical issues creating inefficiencies in a rolling
stock maintenance workshop (examples) Maintenance tasks are not standardized
- Inadequate checklists or work instructions - Lack of standards for tools and locations - Missing standard times for tasks
Workshop organization not performance driven
- Lack of performance management
- Supervisors lack information about job status - No sharing of best practices
Insufficient planning and preparation
- Repairs are given the highest priority and interrupt scheduled work
- Scheduled maintenance tasks are started before all parts and equipments are ready
Infrastructure constraints
- Tracks are not equipped in a standard way - Teams have to wait for a shared equipment to
become available
Spare parts logistics
- Long lead times for spare parts - Repairables logistics not optimized
Industrialization of the workshop
- More standards - Higher efficiency
C
Lean Workshop Transformation – Foundations
Industrialization is achieved by applying Lean and Six Sigma concepts in 3 key areas:
Work standardization, Workplace organization and Shopfloor management
A B C
C
Lean Manufacturing
Lean system: delivery of products and services matched to customer needs
Lean concepts: eliminating waste, i. e. anything not adding value to the product or the
customer, and improving process flow
Lean approach: a total organizational and cultural transformation
Six Sigma
Six sigma system: reduce variation and defects to improve quality
Six sigma concepts: reduce process variation to eliminate defects, while ensuring the organization is focused on the voice of the customer to
differentiate products and services Six sigma approach: measure
defects, analyze the root cause, systematically improve the system and ensure sustainment of the gain Lean Workshop Transformation 3 focus areas: Work standardization Workplace organization Shopfloor management

Standardized work has several levels of excellence, ranging from basic checklists for a
complete check to standard worksheets for every single task of this check
Contents Standardization and optimization levers Basic Checklist Level 1 Advanced Checklist
Level 2 Standard worksheet
Optimized checklist with maintenance tasks
Missing tasks and existing standards included in checklist
Improved coordination between different tasks (e. g. mechanical and electrical)
Optimized sequence of maintenance tasks
Optimized checklist including
– Tools used and locations – Material used
Standard time for entire check
For each task:
– Detailed description of how the task is carried out
– Standard time for each step – Visualization of each task – Safety equipment

Reduced movements and search time
Reduced variance in carrying out a certain task Maintaining a predefined
quality level

Lean Workshop Transformation – Shopfloor management
Efficient shopfloor management relies on effective communication by maintenance
managers and team leaders
Principles of effective communication Rules for visual displays
Communication should be structured, disciplined and frequent
All meetings held on the shop floor via information centers/boards and or team rooms
One-on-one communication regarding results of a process or other audit take place at the point of cause (POC) or location of the audit with the appropriate employees
In effective meetings only relevant information/issues based on actions / feedback and accurate data are discussed
All information and data are kept on simple, visual displays (e. g. boards), which are – Completed in a timely manner
– Updated by hand whenever possible – Reviewed regularly by key personnel Characteristics of simple, user-friendly
visual controls:
– Current status communicated at a glance – Prompt “go and see” activity
– Initiate containment, countermeasure and support activity

Practice
PM is carried out using comprehensive checklists as a reference – standard times are defined for the whole checklist
For key tasks, standard worksheets show the optimal way to perform the task. All workers are trained to the optimal method For main fault categories, curative interventions (inspection, repair) are standardized (use of fault trees,…)
Clear separation of team spaces and workplace
Workplace is always clean and orderly, tools are kept at their designated places, materials and parts are stored away
Visual management standards (floor and installation markings, tags,…) are defined and implemented everywhere
5S checklist, KPI and audit process exist to sustain workplace organization standards
Team meetings, lead by supervisors, take place at least once per shift on the shopfloor to perform resources and work planning Visual displays, updated daily, with work and resource planning,
SQACM1KPIs and PDCA action plan efficiently support meetings

Congratulations, you are ready to continue with sophisticated lean methods You’ve implemented a lot of basic practices, but can still improve on those
You’ve started with lean practices, but could benefit from a complete roll-out
