SUM-UP
SECR

• REVIEW OF SIX STATIONS SHOWS THAT THE FOLLOWING
  STAFF ARE SURPLUS/ SHORT CONSIDERING OPERATION
  WORKLOAD

79
SUM-UP
SECR

• SINCE EACH STATION HAS VARIABLE FACTORS LIKE
  TRAFFIC DENSITY, NUMBER AND TYPE OF LEVEL
  CROSSING GATES, TYPE OF BLOCK SECTION, SHUNTING
  IN YARD, SIDINGS ETC., REQUIREMENT IS REQUIRED TO
  BE ARRIVED AT IN EACH STATION TO DETERMINE
  SURPLUS MANPOWER TO BE SURRENDERED/REDEPLOYED
  AND SHORTFALL, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE
  CREATION/REDEPLOYMENT

80
SUGGESTIONS
SECR

• WHILE ASSESSING LR/RG REQUIREMENT, ROUNDING OFF
  SHOULD NOT BE DONE AT EACH STAGE OF CALCULATION.
• LR/RG IS TO BE CALCULATED CLUBBING THE STATIONS
  WHEREVER REQUIRED.
• MAN POWER REQUIREMENT AT ALL SIDING IS TO BE
  REVIEWED SINCE NOW RAILWAYS HAS TO BEAR THE COST.
• THERE IS A DEMAND FOR ADDITIONAL ASM PER SHIFT
  FOR UNDERTAKING WORKS LIKE SIGNAL/POINT FAILURES,
  SIGNAL EXCHANGE, MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS, ETC.
  ESPECIALLY IN PANEL INTERLOCKED STATION IN THREE
  LINE TERRITORY. THIS HAS TO BE DONE AFTER
  PROPER WORKS STUDY.
