The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
By monitoring production and operations, various considerations and dilemmas arise as to whether all phases in the established maintenance process are carried out in the most efficient sequence. This gives rise to ideas for changes aimed at achieving the most favourable results. As the central theme of the thesis, I intend to address the production process of maintaining the bogie frame, which is an important assembly of the series 643 locomotive, analyse the existing state of maintenance and propose new solutions. Based on insights and findings from monitoring work processes, I propose their optimisation and time coordination. In the continuation of the thesis, I present the purpose of analysing and monitoring specific segments of bogie frame assemblies upon arrival for inspections at the workshop, which are determined according to the Rules on the Maintenance of Railway Vehicles During Operation, to identify so-called weak points and, based on the findings, plan new technical improvements.
Problem
By monitoring production and operations, various considerations and dilemmas arise as to whether all phases in the established maintenance process are carried out in the most efficient sequence. This gives rise to ideas for changes aimed at achieving the most favourable results. All changes can only be introduced by observing standards and regulations prescribed by technological norms.
Solution and Method
As the central theme of the thesis, I intend to address the production process of maintaining the bogie frame, which is an important assembly of the series 643 locomotive, analyse the existing state of maintenance and propose new solutions. The emphasis is on a more efficient approach through the production process, ensuring prescribed norms and standards, ensuring quality in all phases of control technology, traceability and optimal utilisation of all resources.
Results
Based on insights and findings from monitoring work processes, I propose their optimisation and time coordination. In the continuation of the thesis, I present the purpose of analysing and monitoring specific segments of bogie frame assemblies upon arrival for inspections at the workshop, which are determined according to the Rules on the Maintenance of Railway Vehicles During Operation, to identify so-called weak points and, based on the findings, plan new technical improvements. The thesis will present specific elements that are an integral part of maintaining vital parts of railway rolling stock or, in this case, maintaining the bogie frame.
I must emphasise that all procedures for maintaining these parts are prescribed by the operator. In the broader field, all procedures are unified and standardised in international regulations.
