The Study Of Locomotive Maintenance Optimization Based On Network Planning Technology

Under the guidance of the leaping development theory, China's Railway Manufacturing Industry is going through a profound transformation. Thus, it raised newer & higher requirements of the maintenance system of locomotive departments, the construction of which is so critical for the leaping development of the locomotive technical equipment & management. And it will play an important part in guaranteeing the railway transportation safety, improving the overall railway economic benefits, and providing high quality service to the customer. However, most of the locomotive maintenance methods were relatively backward, such as low level of current intelligent & automation of the inspection & test equipments, unscientific management during the maintenance process, little control of the locomotive maintenance quality, and collect plenty of locomotive information manually and so on. Based on the above reason, the operation and management of China's locomotive maintenance system is behind world standard. In addition, due to special transportation mode & traffic volume in China, there is relatively lower level on management of China's locomotive maintenance system.Application of network planning in locomotive maintenance system will be the breakthrough to upgrade the enterprise & develop the railway. And it will have important effects in improving corporation management, transforming the managements system, reducing cost & enhancing market competitiveness etc.The paper discussed the optimization design of the maintenance system by the network planning, especially in analyzing the requirement of the locomotive maintenance system development, giving a detail description on the management system & process optimization, and doing the research on the NC locomotive capacity expansion revamping engineering. The study showed the application of the network planning technology will shorten the maintenance period in a large extend, improve the maintenance effectiveness, saving the resource investment, and being more instructive to design.
