SYNOPSIS

Indian Railway is one of the largest government organization which

transports passenger and freight traffic from one place to another at an

optimum level of safety, security, reliability and punctuality. Railways constant

endeavor has been to transform the benefits of improved performances to

reach the people and national economy. Railways have been making all

possible efforts to make journey more affordable and comfortable through

adoption of modernization and system improvements

IR has introduced high speed sophisticated AC coaches to provide

comfortable journey to rail users in Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains. The coaches

are attended during preventive maintenance in shops/depots for fitness of AC

equipments, fans and lights to avoid inconvenience to rail users. Considerable

improvements have been achieved with the introduction of 110V electric

supply in place of 24V which was not only the cause of poor service but

demanded excessive maintenance with poor output. The least maintenance/

maintenance-free batteries have been provided by replacing old frequently

attended/maintenance batteries. The End-on-Generation (EOG) is being used

requiring least maintenance and ensures un-interrupted electric supply IN

Shatabdi/Rajdhani/Duronto trains.

Keeping in view above, SDGM/NR assigned the work study on “Review of

staff working under SSE/Coaching (TL/AC) of electrical Department over

Ambala Division” to the Central Planning Cell, HQ Office, with a view to

reduce wastage/redundant activities to effect economy and manpower

productivity. The team reviewed the AC & train lighting staff vis-à-vis existing

workload to assess the requirement of staff economically by reducing

wastages in the system of maintaining the conventional coaches. The team

held discussions at various levels to arrive at actual status of requirement of

staff keeping practical ability in consideration. The requirement of AC & train

lighting staff over Ambala Division comes to 497 posts against the sanctioned

strength of 515 posts and have identified 18 posts as surplus. The

acceptance/implementation of the recommendations contained in the report

yield a net recurring saving of about 178.48 lakh per annum will be

achieved by the administration.

1.0.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1.0 In its endeavor to provide comfortable and affordable journey to rail

users, Railways have adopted modern technologies due to modernization

and upgraded systems. Modernization and improved services have

resulted in increase the revenue expenditure. Consequently reduction in

avoidable expenditure against wasteful/redundant activities should be

explored.

1.1.1 The electrical maintenance of coaches is a vital activity as it is comfort

oriented. A coach through fit to run but may not be electrically fit

becomes a cause of complaint and a major factor for leakage of railway

revenue as well as cause of detention.

1.1.2 A considerable number of staff is engaged for carrying out the electrical

maintenance of coaches. Due to modernization, certain activities have

either been closed on modified. After adoption of 110 V supply in place of

24 V supply, a lot of activities have been closed but the staff is still

engaged on old pattern.

1.1.3 Keeping in view above, SDGM/NR desired to conduct a work study on

“Review of staff working under SSE/Coaching (TL/AC) of electrical

Department over Ambala Division” with a view to effect economy in

expenditure by reducing wasteful/redundant activities in view of

technological upgradations made in AC & train lighting maintenance

system.

1.2.0 TERMS OF REFERENCE:

The following terms of references were adopted for conduct of the study:-

1. To review staff strength vis-à-vis existing workload. 2. To identify redundant/unproductive activities with a view to eliminate

wasteful expenditure 3. To suggest ways and means to improve the efficiency and productivity of

the system 1.3.0 METHODOLOGY ADOPTED

Method and work measurement techniques of work study were adopted to arrive at fruitful results as follows:-

1. Data Collection and its critical analysis. 2. Work sampling/activity sampling to compare actual performance 3. Held discussions at various levels.

2.0.0 BRIEF DESCRIPTION, STAFF POSITION, WRKLOAD, CRITICAL

ANALYSIS, PROPOSED STAFF, GENERAL OBSERVATIONS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS.

2.1.0 Ambala division is an important Division of Northern Railway. It has

popular tourism places. It is strategic due to defence needs and train

operation, it is a major food grains loading division. It is spread over the

states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

2.1.1 By virtue of modernization and technological up-gradations, lots of

changes have been introduced to effect comfort, convenience to rail

users and improved train operations. A large number of mail, express,

passenger and good trains are maintained by Ambala Division at an

optimum level of safety, security, reliability and punctuality.

2.1.2 This work study is limited to the review of AC & train lighting staff of

electrical deptt over Ambala Division.

2.1.3 The present day train lighting system has evolved from the erstwhile

conventional double battery, conventional heavy copper switch gear

system. The basic problem is that system was heavy theft of copper

parts of various electrical appliances/equipments. The Electrical train

lighting system has improved owing to the gradual improvement in the

standards of amenities viz light, fans and developments of indigenous

dynamos, brushless alternators and associated switchgears. The system

of End on Generation (EOG) got evolved to overcome the problem of

non generation on slow speeds on branch line train as well as

interference with generating equipments, batteries and other under gear

equipments by antisocial elements. Due to technological developments

and modernization, the under-slung AC equipments are being converted

into RMPU AC equipments.

2.1.4 The major achievements made by the Railway have been converting the

electric supply in conventional coaches from 24V to 110V by changing

the generation system. Certain other changes have also been made by

the Railways to minimize avoidable activities for reducing excess staff

being engaged against unproductive activities.

2.1.5 Ambala Division has deployed the AC & electric train lighting staff at

different locations viz SRE, UMB, KLK (BG), KLK (NG), SML, CDG, BTI,

NLDM & DUI depots. The existing pattern of workload is to be

Page 9: WORK STUDY REPORT - Indian Railwayindianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/...1 WORK STUDY REPORT ON REVIEW OF STAFF WORKING UNDER SSE/COACHING (TL/AC) OF ELECTRICAL

9

rationalized for effective and economical maintenance due to

modernization of conventional coaches.

2.2.0 EXISTING SET UP

2.2.1 To cater the needs of Train Lighting activities over Ambala Division the

train lighting depots are working under the overall control of Sr. DEE/G/UMB

are as under:-

1. SAHARANPUR (SRE) 2. AMBALA (UMB) 3. KALKA (BG) (KLK) 4. KALKA (NG) (KLK) 5. SHIMLA (SML) 6. CHANDIGARH (CDG) 7. BATHINDA (BTI) 8. NANGALDAM (NLDM) 9. DHURI (DUI)

2.2.2 The activities broadly required to be carried out by AC & train lighting

branch are as under:-

1. Primary maintenance at base depots 2. Secondary maintenance at destination/terminals. 3. Sick line attention of coaches. 4. Passing through train attention (STR) 5. Escorting important/nominated trains.

2.2.3 PRIMARY MAINTENANCE

The nominated trains on completion of their trip are given primary

maintenance by electrical train lighting staff in base depots in which

dynamos/alternators are given extensive maintenance. In the present

scenario 24 V dynamos have been replaced by 110 V alternators which

require less time for maintenance as compared to conventional

dynamos. To ensure un-interrupted electric supply distribution, the

regulators, main fuses and junction boxes are checked and changed if

required. The axle pulley is checked and optimum belt tension is

maintained. Battery is checked by measuring voltage and specific

gravity. The battery is changed and distilled water is added whenever

required. Lighting system is checked to ensure that all Tube lights,

Page 10: WORK STUDY REPORT - Indian Railwayindianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/...1 WORK STUDY REPORT ON REVIEW OF STAFF WORKING UNDER SSE/COACHING (TL/AC) OF ELECTRICAL

10

lamps & fans are in working order. Defective switches and lamps are

repaired/replaced. Every lamp reflector is opened and cleaned. The

complete examination of fan blades/carbon brushes is carried out if

required. It is ensured that all fans are in working order. Simultaneously,

the extensive wiring examination is also carried out and repaired as

required.

2.2.4 SECONDARY MAINTENANCE

All the activities carried out during primary maintenance carried out

during secondary maintenance. The difference is that during primary

maintenance the requirement is repaired as well as replaced wherever

required but during secondary maintenance only repair is carried out.

The other difference is that the schedules are adhered to during

primary maintenance.

2.2.5 SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE

The primary based coaches are given thorough examination and repair

carried out periodically i.e., fortnightly/monthly schedules as per extent

instructions by the concerned department in addition to the regular

primary maintenance. Keeping in view the safety and public amenity,

special attention is given to all equipments.

2.2.6 Heavy repairs are undertaken at important depots for under gear

equipments, alternators, carriage fans, train lighting, batteries, switch

gears, wiring etc. Such works arise at major primary based depots.

There have been changed with development of brushless alternators

and electronic regulators. Over the years, there have also been

improvements in the types of tools available for undertaking repair

works.

2.2.7 PLATFORMS

On arrival of trains at the terminating stations, the lamps and fans are

switched off after examining electric equipments. In case of any

deficiency, a joint note is prepared along-with security staff and

submitted to the AC & TL incharges. On placement of trains at

originating station on the platform, the staff attends Air-conditioning

system of AC coaches, lamps, lighting points and fans by switching

them on load according to the weather and is kept in working order.

2.2.8 ESCORTING STAFF

Page 11: WORK STUDY REPORT - Indian Railwayindianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/...1 WORK STUDY REPORT ON REVIEW OF STAFF WORKING UNDER SSE/COACHING (TL/AC) OF ELECTRICAL

11

The staff is required to be sent to escort nominated trains in AC

coaches so as to attend air conditioning system & electric train lighting

defects if any, enroute/during the run of train.

2.2.9 Topping of distilled water is necessary in the battery of coaches to meet

the requirement of deficient distilled water in battery cells. For this

purpose, the distilled water generating plants are installed at major

electric train lighting depots.

2.5.0 CRITICAL EXAMINATION

2.5.1 Due to improve technological up-gradations in almost every sphere over

Indian Railway, the services have improved considerably and image

among rail users as also improved. To bring improvements in Railway

working system a lot of expenditure has to be incurred. In the process

of technological up-gradations, certain activities become redundant/

unproductive/wasteful. Adoption of 110V batteries in place of 24V

batteries, 110V alternators in place of 24V dynamos, V-belts instead of

flat belts, introduction of RMPU LHB coaches in place of under slung

coaches and EOG power cars etc; has reduced the efforts routine

maintenance activities considerably and the system has become more

reliable. Consequently, the manpower requirements have also reduced.

So as to enhance economy, the redundant activities must be eliminated

and the wastages over excess staff/stores must be checked.

2.5.2 This study is limited to the review of AC & TL staff over Ambala Division.

The team collected staff position, workload from divisional headquarter

and critically analysed the data/informations regarding maintenance

practices.

2.5.3 The proposed requirement of AC & TL staff has been calculated as per

yardstick/policy No.2000/Elect (G)/181/21-Pt. dt. 22/30.11.2004 issued

by Railway Board addressed to General Managers, All Zonal Railways.

The work study team has taken in to consideration the yard stick in

vogue, held discussion at various levels, geographic conditions while

proposing the requirement of staff. The depot wise requirement of staff

as under:-

2.6.0 REQUIREMENT OF STAFF

The team critically analysed the existing workload of all AC & TL depots over Ambala Division so as to assess requirement of staff required for primary, secondary, train passing and sick lines etc activities.
