  •   Requirement of train examination staff for
    goods rake and coaching rake maintenance to be
    done on actual yardstick. Shift timings should
    be planned and spread, if required, for optimum
    utilization of categories involved in activities
    like coach watering, coach cleaning and garbage
    disposal which can be outsourced, should be given
    separately.
  • d) Bench marks conveyed by Board.

    performed on washing line.
  • Under gear maintenance of the rakes on pit

  • Activities of the Depot.
  •  Activities of the depot as a whole.
  •   Upper gear and under gear maintenance of the
    rakes on pit line.
  •   Sick line, IOH, Schedules (A B), Coaching,
    reception dispatch on platform, stores,
    disinfestations, office, material chasing, online
    staff etc.
  • Activities connected to washing line working.

10
  • Utilization of staff on Washing Line.
  •       One batch maintains one rake in the shift
    of 8 hours.
  •       Duty hours depending upon the availability
    of rake on pit line.
  •       The batch consists of the following
    categories.
  • Under gear - Supervisors, Sr.Tech Tech.
  • Upper gear - Ancillary staff Group D staff.
  •   Separate batch for schedules (A B)
    maintenance.

11
Composition of staff on each activity.   The
utilization of staff on each rake at the Depot is
considered as optimum composition.
12
  • Requirement of staff as per composition( For
    10 rakes ( 91)
  • 1. Technicians
  • Requirement of staff for seven rakes -
    7 x 7 49 (Normal rakes- 01
    shift)
  •   Requirement for long distance Train
    - 1 x 10 10 AP Express- night shift
  •   Requirement for 7039/8646 - 1 x 9
    9 EastCoast Exp- -do-
  •   2 additional gangs of AP 7039/8646 -
    19 -- Day shift
  • Total - 87
  • RG for 87 _at_ 16 - 15
  • LR requirement - 17
  • Total requirement -
    119

Sr.Technicians   Sr.Technicians are being
utilized for supervising the activities.      Out
of 20 Sr.Technicians, 13 are utilized on washing
line , 2 on other activities and 5 vacant
posts.     On critical review it is felt that
only 12 are required for supervision of washing
line activity.
13
Need based requirement.
A total number of 32 posts (Sr.Tech- 6, Tech
26) against 258 sanctions are found surplus.
Thus the cost of saving per annum is Rs
43,20,000/-.
14
  • Maintenance of schedules.
  • The gang for maintenance of schedules consists
    SSE 1, Tech 12 and Group D- 7.
  • Since the activity involved safety aspect, no
    attempt has been made to scan the staff.
  • Washing and cleaning activity.
  • Composition of staff on each rake.
  • Exterior cleaning - 04
  • Interior cleaning - 08
  • (_at_ 3 non AC- 1 employee
  • _at_ 3 for AC- 2 employees
  • Toilet cleaning -
    03
  • As per the above composition, the total
  • requirement for working is (Including RG) -
    135.
  • LR requirement - 22
  • Total - 157

The washing and cleaning activity has been
outsourced. Out of 180 coaches, 130 have been
outsourced and the balance is under process. 
As a result of outsourcing a total number of
157 Group D posts against sanctions of 386 are
found to be surplus. Thus savings per annum is
Rs 1,21,89,480/-
15
  • Ancillary categories.
  •   About 68 posts on different heads viz, Pipe
    fitter, Carpenter,
  • Blacksmith, Painter etc are available for
    maintenance of
  • upper gear.
  •      No safety is involved in maintaining these
    activities.
  •      No attempt has been made to outsource the
    activity so far.
  •      On critical review, 5 posts of Carpenter,
    out of 29 sanctions
  • are found to be surplus.  Thus saving per
    annum is Rs 5,16,960/-
  • Disinfestations.
  •        The activity involves disinfestations of
    the coaches periodically as per the
    schedules.
  •        The activity has already been
    outsourced long back.
  •        The allotment of 3 Group D posts
    even after outsourcing the activity
    is found to be uneconomical. Thus saving per
    annum is Rs 2,32,920/-

16
  • Recommendations.
  • 32 Technicians on under gear maintenance are to
    be surrendered.
  • 5 Posts of Carpenters are to be surrendered.
  • 3. Out of 157 Group D posts found excess on
    washing and cleaning activity, the 76 vacant
    posts are to be surrendered immediately and the
    balance in a phased manner.
  • 4.    Three Group D posts on disinfestations
    activity are to be surrendered.
  • Cost savings per annum-
  • 32 Technicians - Rs 43,20,000
  • 5 Carpenters - Rs 5,16,960
  • 160 Group D staff - Rs 1,24,22,400
  • Total - Rs 1,72,59,360

17
  • View on other Railways
  • The activities and sub activities on
    washing line are same on all Railways.
  •          The scenario on other Railways is as
    follows.

18
  • Observations and recommendations.
  • As could be seen from the statement,
    BBS Depot, Khurdha Divn, East Coast Rly is
    maintaining 15 Trains (11 4) with less number
    of staff as compared to S.C Western Railway.
  •        At BBS depot of ECo Railway, one batch
    of technicians are attending two trains in a
    shift of 8 hours for under gear maintenance _at_ 4
    hours on each rake which is an unique
    utilization when compared to other Railways and
    this can be considered as best utilization
    subject to ensuring safety norms.
  •         Washing and cleaning activity is almost
    all outsourced, hence the posts rendered surplus
    can be surrendered.
  •          The ancillary works can be outsourced
    on par with BBS depot as no safety
    aspect is involved.
  •          Watering of coaches on washing lines can
    also be outsourced on par with BBS
    depot.
  •      Feasibility of entrusting the work related
    to maintenance of schedule (A B)
    to the under gear gang on par with BBS and Bombay
    Central Depot instead of keeping
    separate gang can be examined.

  • k) Views on the possibility of
    introducing/upgrading the existing technology,
    IT, work methods.
  • Introduction of new technology such as CBC rake
    and disc brakes.
  • The new system of disinfestations being adapted
    at workshop during the POH. Thus outsourcing can
    be saved.
  • l) Views on the slackness in the work methods
    with specific reference to the category being
    reviewed.
  • Need based utilisation of staff to avoid under
    utilisation and to save manpower.

m) Indication on redundancy of category or
connected activity.    There is no scope for
redundancy of any activity connected to washing
line. However, some activity can be outsourced
as explained above.
20
n) Scope for surrender of activity or post Out
Sourcing Total activity of washing
and cleaning including watering of coaches and
ancillary works.   Introduction/up gradation of
technology Introduction of IT No scope for
these aspects as far as the activities on washing
line are concerned.
o) Short term action plan      The
short term planning is to outsource the total
activity of Washing and cleaning, watering
of coaches ancillary works and to identify
the surplus. p) Long Term Action Plan for
reduction of staff during the next five
years.       The activity of under gear
maintenance involves safety aspect.
Further, the activity of upper gear maintenance
has already been proposed for out-sourcing.
Therefore no proposal could be made for long
term action plan.
