“Asset Management and the organization of condition based maintenance” Nick van den Hurk 20 November 2009 General Meeting EFRTC Berlin
Agenda 1 Introduction 2 Vision on Asset management in the supply chain 3 CBM in the Netherlands 4 Methodes
VolkerRail Maintenance contractor Rail infrastructure: ProRail, Lightrail (o.a. RandstadRail, SUNIJ) and industry (o.a. Corus) Dry and wet infrastructuur for RWS (Onderhoud tunnels en Sluizen NoordHolland en IJsselmeer en Zeeland) Project contractor All types of Rail infrastructure Service provider for engineering and consultancy Condition Based Maintenance (o.a. ProRail, Schiphol, HTM) Organisation 2700 employees In UK, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Estonia, Finland and Sweden
Maintenance Rail (NL) ProRail, Lightrail en Industry
Maintenance Highway Agency (NL) – Tunnels Noord Holland
Maintenance .. (NL) RWS – Sluizen & bruggen Noord Holland
Market Developments in Rail Higher/Customer requirements Focus Infra Manager on RAMS(HE) requirements Performance contracts focused on continuous improvement Contractor responsible for maintenance management More international and professional Information technology
Maintenance Competenties Fire brigade maintenance Development Asset Management Maintenance Competenties Type of contract Phase 4 Asset life cycle mgt. Focus on RAMS- & LC management Performance Budgets Prescriptions Assets Performance Lump sum & incentives Phase 3 Installation mgt. Focus on effectiveness Maintenance Concepts Specifications Documentation Improvement plans Performance lump sum & incentives Phase 2 Maintenance Mgt Focus on efficiency Planning Preparation Materials Supervision Input Unit/lumpsum Maturity of the chain Phase 1 Fire brigade maintenance Problem solving Execution Inspection Volume Cost plus Time “Execution of inspection and access to Inspection data is strategic to be able to grow in Asset management”.
Philosophy ProRail maintenance Depending on risk profile, the required output is re-active or pro-active specified in contracts Output Input Re-actief Functionality based on RAMSHE RA M S H E SKI’s Spoorweg- veiligheid Duurzaamheid IH-specs Pro-actief Activities Proces-demands Prestatie-/outputsturing ProRail Sturing aannemer © ProRail.

Added value contractors Integrated approach Focus on RAMSHE (availability, reliability, maintainability and safety Powerful control (planning) processes Integration of maintenance management in organization Focused ICT support for processes Focused on transparency and development of cooperation Expert in organization Condition Based Maintenance
Importance Monitoring and Condition Based Maintenance Higher requirements - proactive/preventive approach Most effective Maintenance strategy Only executing Maintenance where and when needed Obligatory inspections by law Basis of Life Cycle considerations and investment plans Pillar in Reporting Performance contracts Requires absolute transparency en data sharing 11, 12 en 13 nog samenvoegen
Difficulties Condition Based Maintenance Differences of judgments and registration Labor-intensive data transmission /analyses Managing of workflow and reporting Availability of management information, historic and current Manage gigantic amounts of data Requires viewing-, analyzing- and reporting tools Costs for tools are considerable and it requires specialists Requires specialist know how in combination with maintenance processes
Organization Monitoring and condition based maintenance Process Measure ring and data storage Analyze en predict Planning and reporting Evaluation (ao thresholds) Systems and technology EAM-systems Monitoring and measurement tools Platform data storage and analyzing Organization Monitoring specialist Analyst Technology centre and partners To support inspection and Condition Based Maintenance we developed generic applicable platforms
Customer infrastructure management process Management information Conditiebeheer - Impact systemen Customer infrastructure management process Inspection Monitoring Measurement Condition assesment Network Definition DSS Life-cycle management Reports LCM strategy’s & costs Performance indicators Maintenance Cost Maintenance History Condition & assessment EAM Enterprise Asset Management Standard Network Definition GIS Network Definition Customer Asset database System and information based on customers needs
Mobile Inspection platform (FlexInspect) Standardized data, everywhere accessible All inspections and all assets Readily adaptable, fast results Integrated storage of all photographs Barcode & GPS (0-1 m) Easy to integrate with other systems More transparency 25 % - 50 % cost reduction Used for/by: Stand alone or intregrated Flex- Inspect EAM Maximo SAP Mincom Infor EAM BAM Rail
Monitoring platform (AOC) AOC stands for Asset Observation Center “Real-time” observation of assets for: Early detection of failures => increase of availability More insight in performance en degradation => better maintainability Easily combines different infrastructures, installations and systems on several sites Web-based customer portal with custom-made data presentation Alarms can be generated by relays, e-mail, SMS or directly send to a PAC Cost-effective and flexible due to modularity Network definition AOC EAM Status & performance information
Switch and Track Measurement System Critical asset for Reliability and Availability Cost Safety Difficulties Standardization measurement Uniform & reproducable data Analysis Decision support Management info Onboard computer system Light sectioning profile measurement modules Blade detection module Video inspaction system GPS navigation module GSM online communication Air-conditioning system Operators terminals

Benefits Data & information accurate, reliable and reproducible Insight in status/quality and deterioration of switches Contributes in safety of switches Maintenance more predictable and effective Better grounds for LCM decisions Increases Availability Reduces maintenance costs
Summary sheet VolkerRail: from a project only contractor to a full service contractor Observations: Much more in depth know how of track systems Threatening to clients if not good managed Grow market in Europe Large investments vs satisfying financial results
