AGENDA FOCUS TOPICS
Implementing Cost-Saving Innovations In Fleet Maintenance To Improve Availability
- Examine rail maintenance mega trends to enhance service, capacity, and passenger experience while lowering the cost
- Transitioning to condition-based maintenance in conjunction with classical maintenance strategies
- Taking steps to cut costs and decide how many people to hire at a time when unions are more active and industrial action more frequent
- The macro view on establishing a culture of data-driven decision-making throughout maintenance, asset management & operations
- Best practices on building the technical expertise to analyse and use data for maintenance decision making effectively
- Application of ai algorithms to automate the process of cleaning & pre-processing data, as well as detecting anomalies to save time and money
- Creating digital twins of rolling stock to simulate and analyse maintenance scenarios, identify potential problems, and optimise maintenance plans
- Digitalisation solutions that maximise ROI and cost reduction
Maintenance Planning For All Categories Of Fleets And Handling Obsolescence
- Revisiting the conversation on outsourcing vs. Insourcing rail maintenance in the context of escalating prices, more frequent industrial action & a driving need to reduce cost
- Addressing the challenges of cost-effectively maintaining the reliability of locomotives as they age
- Reducing energy consumption - implementing new technology upgrades & modifying maintenance techniques
- Finding solutions to address the availability of components in the supply chain
- Proactively addressing mechanical and safety-critical component obsolesce cost-effectively
- Optimising the size of the engineering workforce based on the volume & type of maintenance
Future-Proofing New And Existing Depots
- Cost-competitively future-proofing new & existing rail depots to ensure flexibility for evolving fleet requirements – what is needed over the next 5, 10 or 20 years?
- Upgrading existing depots to support a range of fleets & maintenance regimes cost-effectively
- Transitioning from a time interval to more conditional-based monitoring in the depot
- Optimising the depot to prioritise retrofitting that delivers the most benefit for the least cost and to ensure the required equipment is integrated seamlessly
- Practicalities of optimising the use of data in the depot environment for safe, more targeted maintenance
- Standardising workforce training across all depots using the latest virtual reality & software apps
- Prioritising investment in depot automation to reduce the cost of cleaning, essential maintenance & safety optimisation
