A hybrid framework for reliability improvement of a rolling stock door subsystem
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review
Abstract
Rolling stock (RS) service reliability is a key performance indicator
for any railway operator and customer satisfaction. Failures to complete scheduled
services by trains due to inherent system failures incur penalty charges. Therefore,
a reliability improvement as a continuous improvement strategy is an essential
initiative to ensure that the required reliability and punctuality performance of
RS systems are achieved. In this paper, a hybrid framework that incorporates
several techniques of reliability, risk and maintenance techniques is used as a
reliability growth initiative to select improvement actions for an existing rolling
stock passenger door subsystem. The outcome of the analysis shows that the
component overhaul of a door engine system provides realistic reliability growth
with optimum turnaround time
for any railway operator and customer satisfaction. Failures to complete scheduled
