Information Technology Workshop Information System (WISE)

801. Introduction Mission Periodic Overhauling (POH) Workshops form the backbone of Indian Railways that keep Rolling Assets in good fettle and carryout structural and technological rehabilitation. Workshops carry out all types of repairs and reconditioning of Rolling Stock and the manufacture of spare parts for the repairs thereof. Workshops have been a focus of IT enablement from the very beginning and initially UNIX-COBOL based application packages were implemented in Workshops in the years 1986 to 1988. In this regard, an IT based system viz. Workshop Information System (WISE) has been developed and implemented across all IR POH workshops. The WISE system has been designed in such a way that it can cater to all Indian Railway Workshops. All Rolling Stock including Coach, Wagon, Diesel Locomotive, Electric Locomotive, DEMU, EMU/MEMU, OCVs, special stock etc have been provisioned for inclusion in the system. Mapping of Rolling Stock with Workshop has been configured in the system. Workshops are able to do predictive analysis of their assets and maximise asset utilisation to meet the customer demands.. WISE application enables Workshop to transform their business processes and improve performance. Vision To establish an effective, reliable, user-friendly and integrated IT system for Workshops for overhauling of Rolling Stocks, with ease in data entry to provide secure & correct information anywhere, on demand through the use of the latest technology solutions. Plan To cover and implement maintenance activities in the workshops to provide 360 degree view of total Rolling Stock assets under Maintenance and their maintenance life cycle across various units of IR and advance prediction of asset demands to production or maintenance requirement. To improve efficiency through Online Assembly Tracking and effective inventory management.

802. Workshop Information System (WISE) The Workshop Information System (WISE) aimed at providing a computerised system to assist in all aspects of overhauling of Rolling Stock Assets in Indian Railway Workshops. The Project covers complete Design, Development, Implementation and Support of Centralised Application for management of Indian Railway Workshops.

803. Brief Scope It includes providing a fully functional Workshop Information System (WISE) at maintenance/ POH workshops of Indian Railways, which covers complete Customization, Development & Implementation of application for workshop users, Zonal HQ and Railway Board.

804. WISE Infrastructure: In the fast changing world of IT, it is inappropriate to rigidly define in detail, the infrastructure requirements; and hence an outline is spelt out below: a. Centralised Custom built application which is designed and developed by CRIS for IR Workshops. b. Integration with CMM, FMM, UDM, IMMIS, IPAS, HRMS and eDRISHTI administer data exchange amongst, facilitating to get real-time reports. c. Integration between divisions, Zonal Headquarters, Railway Board. d. Application is accessible through the internet. e. Single point access to all managers through a common web portal: ROAMSRolling Asset Management System. All applications WISE for Workshops, CMM for Coaching Depots and FMM for Wagon Depot are part of ROAMS. ROAMS provides seamless experience to all the users to execute their functionalities through common user interface. f. ROAMS system can be accessed from anywhere and includes the multi layer access to its users. g. Dashboards - Displays comparative analysis of data for the login of RB, HQ, workshops (CWM). Online web-reports and Pivot reports are available to all the Workshop users. h. Hardware at Central location at CRIS data centre including development and Implementation having servers such as Database, Application, Web, and Development. i. Shop hardware includes Client terminals with UPS. The Architecture of WISE is depicted in Annexure - 8.1.

805. Benefits Accrued 1. Minimum paper work and required reports/ information is available over the application with any time access on a real time basis. 2. Visibility of Rolling Stock, its maintenance during the entire life span, maintenance history, Material and Man hour Consumption. 3. POH arising for next 1 year can easily be seen. 4. After all this data will get accumulated, the application may suggest predictive maintenance. 5. Optimization of shop floor inventory. 6. Visibility of detailed inventory data including multi location inventory. 7. Seamlessly integrated with the Depot application viz. CMM and FMM applications and Material Management applications viz. IMMS and UDM, enabling no data entry from the workshop users and avoiding data redundancy. 8. Efficient feedback and interaction mechanism between Workshops, Zonal HQ and Railway Board. 9. Easy job traceability. 10. Enabler to reduce the cycle time. 11. Enabler to reduce Rolling Stock holding in workshops.

806. Training Training and continued retraining are essential to develop IT temper amongst workshop personnel. Training to be provided to staff nominated for concerned Workshops viz. Shop users in Application software by CRIS technical support team. A Management level training for Zonal Head quarters and Railway Board. Training to the nominated end users and core team members is provided in suitable batches of appropriate duration as and when required. The core team further assist the end users to get onboard in the application. User training should be available for Workshops and for apex users. CRIS provides training in the Train The Trainer (TTT) concept. In this, super user is trained who in turn trains the end users.

807. System Security The WISE system provides adequate security such as user Identification (User-ID), passwords, CAPTCHAs, provisions for digital signatures/ authentication of critical transactions to ensure that only the authorized personnel can have access to data, stored in the system. System Security features: a. Provision of Multi layer Authorisation/access that varies to different users. b. Only the system administrator and his/her assistants are able to access the databases and programs should be given corresponding access rights. c. Provides recording of the identification detail of the person who accessed the system to view data, enter, modify or deleted a data for investigation purposes if required. d. Built in versions of records in which record created by, record created on (system date), record changed by and record changed on (system date) are maintained whenever any transactions committed by users. e. The WISE system also caters to exigencies of data breach, denial of service, protocols to address security breaches and mechanisms / procedures that may be initiated in case of such breach of the system.

808. WISE Modules The WISE Modules covers various aspects of Rolling Stock inside the Workshops related to Maintenance, Material Management, Assembly overhauling, Production, Management Dashboard, and Master Data Management. WISE Modules has been implemented in all POH workshops of Indian Railways. 100% implementation and operationalisation of WISE Modules is to be ensured by Zonal Railways HQs/CWMs of workshops. All important parameters of workshops like outturn, cycle time, Rolling Stock holding, man hour deployment and quality indices should be accessed by CWMs/Zonal Railway HQs/Rly. Bd. through WISE only. Data retrieved through WISE will only be considered as authentic data for workshops. The details of various WISE Modules are as follows: 1. Rolling Stock Module: Rolling Stock module covers the maintenance aspect of rolling stock inside the workshop. Different rolling stock types like Coach, Wagon, Diesel Loco and Electric Loco arrives at workshop for maintenance schedule like POH/IOH/NPOH/Special Repair (SR) etc. In Rolling Stock Module, Coaching/Freight Depot marks POH and detaches the Rolling Stock in CMM/FMM. The marked rolling stock gets reflected in the respective workshop in the WISE portal. Workshop users need to receive the rolling stock inside the workshop from the forecasted list. In case the desired rolling stock is not available in the forecasted list, workshop users can receive that rolling stock with the help of Rolling Stock-In process in WISE. After the arrival of rolling stock, Workshop users should create maintenance job orders by selecting the respective task list and specifying the desired quantity with man-hour for that particular rolling stock’s maintenance. Workshops should record Quantitative/Qualitative parameters of Rolling Stock with the help of Parameter Recording functionality. Workshop users can berth a Rolling stock in a particular shop line and bay by use of the Berthing process. There is a process of Change Repair type through which the workshop can mark a Rolling Stock for Special Repair, MLR and initiate for Condemnation. The Rolling Stock recommended for condemnation can be approved by CWM or it can be further forwarded to Zonal HQ for approval. After condemnation approval a Rolling Stock can be converted to NMG, RCC, RA, other departmental stock etc. with the help of Activity Type assignment. Workshop should complete all the maintenance related activities like assembly dismantling, creation/completion of assembly maintenance job order, closing of all the maintenance job orders of rolling stock etc. before offering that Rolling Stock to NTXR. NTXR can either mark Fit or Reject the offered rolling stock. In case of Rejection, NTXR needs to specify the defect reason. After NTXR fit, the workshop cannot perform any maintenance related activity for that particular Rolling Stock in WISE. Workshop users can then dispatch the Rolling Stock from the workshop by specifying the POH date (dispatch date) and Next POH date for the dispatched Rolling Stock. Workshops should perform all the transactions in the WISE system on a real time basis as it is being done physically in their workshops. The brief of the functionalities under Rolling Stock Module is as below: SN Functionalities Functionality in Brief 1. Forecasting/Rolling Stock under Transit Rolling Stock (RS) which were marked for POH by depot application (CMM/FMM) appears in the WISE application. User takes receipt of RS in Workshop Holding. 2. Rolling Stock In/ Reception at Workshop This functionality facilitates workshop users to receive the Rolling Stock directly into WISE in case it is not detached for POH by depot application. 3. Berthing of Rolling Stock. This functionality facilitates workshop users to berth a Rolling Stock in a particular shop line and bay. It lists down the status of all the line positions whether it is occupied or vacant. Each workshop can predefine berthing capacity in WISE. 4 100 Days failure marking and feedback. It helps users to record failures which happened within 100 Days of POH. 5 Job creation on Rolling stocks. It helps workshop Inspection users to create Job orders(operations and quantity) as part of preinspection under different shops on Rolling Stock which can then be further assigned to shop users. 6 Stage Inspection After a job order is created and assigned to a shop user for maintenance, any further operation if required to be added, the same can be appended. 7. POH Progress Recording Different stages of Rolling stock inside the workshop can be recorded. A report is also provisioned in which users can view Rolling stock wise days consumed in various stages. 8. Job confirmation/ completion on Rolling stock by Shop/Sections Shop users can view the Job orders assigned by the corresponding inspection shop. Shop users can then start and complete the job order. 9. Change repair type Based on the condition of Rolling stock the repair type of Rolling stock can be changed by this feature. Rolling stock repair type can be initiated for Condemnation, Special Repair, MLR etc. 10. Rolling Stock Holding It displays the list of Rolling stock which are currently present in the holding of the workshop. It also displays the details of the RS and its current status. 11. Rolling Stock Holding Parameter wise It facilitates workshop user to view type wise count of Rolling Stock with hyperlink to drill down to individual Rolling stock level. 12. Daily Position of Day’s target, Month’s target, & cumulative year target and working days. Based on the month-wise target outturn and holidays defined by the workshop, system displays month-wise Till-Date Target, Cumulative outturn. 13. Incoming Out turn details of Rolling stock. Rolling stock wise Incoming history and outturn history report can be fetched with related attributes. 14. Provision of Zonal Rolling Stock holding list. Workshop can access Zonal Rolling stock holding and filter data on any column. 15. POH history of Rolling stock. Multiple visits of Rolling stock for POH in the workshop is recorded in WISE and the same can be traced through this report. This shows the entire Rolling Stock maintenance cycle. 16. Rolling Stock Conversion It facilitates workshop users to process Rolling Stock type modification i.e POH + Conversion and Condemnation + Conversion based on the condition assessed by the workshop user. 17. Rolling Stock CondemnationProposal, Approval & Integrated with Other application Rolling stock condemnation can be initiated by workshop SSE. This list will be visible to CWM for approval. CWM can approve it or can forward it to HQ for onward approval. Once condemnation approved by concerned authorities, the same is updated across the other related application. 18. NTXR Offering, Approval, Rejection with reasons and re-offering of Rolling Stock Rolling Stock can be offered to NTXR. Based on NTXR findings, Rolling Stock can be marked fit/reject. NTXR can reject by recording assembly group wise defects noticed on Rolling Stock. 19. Bio Toilet Fitment Process User can record details of Bio-Toilet fitment by workshop by specifying Rate contract type, Waste Transport Arrangement Type (P-trap/S-trap) etc 20. Rolling Stock Dispatch Rolling stock can be dispatched from Workshop by specifying Dispatch timestamp, Return Date, Division, Depot etc. 2. Material Module: One of the most important things that are needed while Rolling Stock undergo repair is material. Every workshop has a facility to store material locally. These can be termed as local store/Workshop sub store/Consignee store. Users mainly draw material from the store depot associated with Workshop. These materials are delivered to the store depot by its Vendors through purchase order or it can be manufactured by Workshop under store work order. Workshop should put requisition to store depot and draw material. It can be consumed on Rolling Stock, Assemblies, Sub Assemblies, Person (in form of consumable items, tools etc) and consignee shop. WISE application retains the material master in its database which regularly syncs with the IMMS database. The inventory details of the store depot are available in WISE through integration with IMMS. Users can check the position of inventory of any particular PL at any store depot PAN India basis. In the same fashion, local inventory details are also available in the WISE application through integration with UDM. Material consumption is being done through WISE application. Material once consumed through WISE application, is debited from the inventory of UDM in real time through integration. Users can find reports on material consumed on Rolling Stock and assemblies. Apart from this, users can mark the deficiency and damage (DDR) after rolling stock is received in the Workshop. The report generated through WISE should be considered for making any claims from divisions or depots or relevant concerned authorities. By doing material consumption throughout the year, the application is able to produce Annual Average Consumption for previous year, the application also produces the arising for the next year. Based on these two factors, Annual Anticipated consumption (AAC) can be prepared and submitted to the finance and store for vetting and fund availability. The brief of the functionalities under Material Module is tabulated as below: SN Functionalities Functionality in Brief 1 Stock On Hand position at Stores Depot and Workshop’s Shop/Section Store The Stock / Inventory position of any material available in any Store depot of IR. 2 Deficiency recording against Rolling Stock. Once a Rolling Stock is received by Workshop, it marks the damage and deficiency list on coaches. Material list and current rates are readily available with workshop through WISE. 3 Material Requirement Planning / AAC It captures the Anticipated Annual Consumptions & compares it with last 3 years. 4 Shop floor Inventory Control All inflows and outflows of material inside the workshops have been covered. Therefore real time inventory positions are readily available. 5 Warranty Claim Process There are two ways to claim the warrantyi. When the Rolling Stock is new and some components have failed before the first POH, the workshop records the same in the WISE to claim the faulty material to the Production Unit. PU gets notified and takes the corrective actions. ii. When the Rolling Stock is dispatched by workshops after POH, it is under warranty for 100 days. The defect arising on an open line can be raised through application (CMM/FMM). Workshops would see the claim raised in WISE and update the action taken. 6 Consumption of material on Rolling Stocks. After material received by Shop/section local substores, it has to be issued to Rolling Stock in Holding. Consumption of material is only allowed before it gets offered to NTXR. The inventory of the shop/section sub-store subsequently gets decreased. This generates a detailed report of RS wise material consumption in WISE. It also helps to check/ trace what materials are booked by workshops in every visit of the Rolling Stock. 7 Must Change Items Must-change item list can be prepared by Workshop themselves according to their requirement; it facilitates the User to consume it on- whole or on-part, at the time of Material issue/consumption to RS. 3. Assembly Module: Assembly module covers the processes related to assembly overhauling i.e dismantling of assembly from Rolling Stock/superior assembly, installation of assembly to Rolling Stock/Superior assembly, assembly maintenance job order creation, man-hour and quantity booking and parameter recording on assembly. It also covers the assembly being received from the division/depot for overhauling in workshops. Workshop can exchange an assembly being taken from division/depot with the assembly dismantled from Rolling Stock. Workshop should complete all the maintenance related activities like closing of all the maintenance job orders on assembly, completion of Assembly BOM structure and Parameter recording before FIT marking of assembly. The brief of the functionalities under Assembly Module is as below: SN Functionalities Functionality in Brief 1 Assembly maintenance solution on subassemblies. Process Life-cycle includes dismantling, overhauling and installation of sub- assemblies. Users can dismantle assembly from Rolling stock and Sub-assembly from Assembly. 2 Generation of Assembly tree on the basis of Assembly BOM (Structure) For each Rolling Stock type, Assemblies can be generated in a hierarchical manner based on BOM (Bill of materials) defined for Rolling stock type in WISE. 3 Assignment of workshop Assembly Asset number based on the BOM (Structure) Workshop can assign its local assembly number to all assemblies to a RS at the time of dismantling of assembly and also at the time of installation of assemblies to RS. . 4 Assembly received for maintenance from division Some Assemblies like Bogie, Wheelset etc. arrive at workshops from Depots/Divisions for IOH maintenance. Provision is available to receive the same. 5 Assembly dispatched to divisions Workshops dispatches Overhauled (Repaired) assemblies to Depots/ Divisions against assemblies received for IOH maintenance. 7 Assembly received from Stores New assembly supplied to workshops from Stores Depot for installation to Rolling Stock. WISE is provisioned to take receipt of the same. 8 Dismantling/Assembling of sub-assemblies. Dismantling of sub- assemblies from superior Assembly or Rolling Stock and overhauling at Assembly shops/sections and installation of subassemblies to superior assembly. 9 Wheel Condemnation Wheel Condemned by workshops as per requirement of RWF (Rail Wheel Factory) Bangalore. RWF gets comparative statements based on workshops and time periods on condemned wheels. 4. Production Module: Workshops are also involved in the activities related to manufacturing of items. These sometimes are requested by divisions through Divisional work order, store depots through store work order or for self use though internal work order. Workshop needs to define the finished product first under the master data in the application. After that Bill of material has to be defined (raw material or semi finished material) along with the operations to be performed on the raw material. Requisitions received from various above units should be created in form of demand and subsequently converted to production order which in turn is assigned to shops for pushing their work. Quantity produced, quantity passed, quantity rejected have to be recorded after each of the operations defined in the application. Route card, job card and squad summary card are generated through the WISE application. The brief of the functionalities under Production module is as below: SN Functionalities Functionality in Brief 1 Work Order Master, BOM, Routing It states that the item to be prepared, how it is to be prepared in which shop. 2 Demand Creation Demand for inter shop work order, store work order and internal Workshop order has to be created. 3 Production Order Demand can be clubbed and item manufactured in batches 4 Inspection It approves or rejects the qty produced. 5 Report It generates job card report, squad summary report and route card. 5. Management Dashboard Module: In order to provide the top management with important data, a ready to use functional and updated dashboard has also been provided to CWMs, CWEs and Railway Board. Through this dashboard the officers can access details of target vs outturn, cycle time of various types of Rolling Stock, workshop wise, and also month wise. Data which can be additionally accessed from the dashboard is Workshop Ineffective percentage, Sick vs Outturn percentage, Rolling stock more than 30 days in workshop, Man hours per Rolling Stock and Local passing. At present the dashboard displays information at the Indian Railway level. Performance of different workshops are being regularly monitored by the Railway Board with the help of this dashboard. The features of Management Dashboard and Reporting of Workshops beingis provided to CWM, Zonal HQs and Railway Board is at Annexure – 6. Master Data Management Module: The interfaces for entering master data into the application have been developed and provided to the users. Coach Master, Wagon master, material master and employee master data need not to be entered by the user as it is automatically synced with respective applications like CMM, FMM, IMMS and IPAS respectively through integration. For other master data like task list master (operation master), Storage Location (shop master), consignee master, Rolling Stock and Assembly must change master should be entered by users for which suitable interfaces have been provided. The brief of the functionalities under Master Data Management Module is tabulated as below: SN Functionalities Functionality in Brief 1 Holiday Master creation Users can fill Workshop Holidays entries in Master, once in a year. Helps create a workshop wise Calendar. This would facilitate users to keep track of working days/ month and completed working days/ month/Calculation of Cycle time. 2 Setting Target Outturn Monthly Target can be filled by users and the system calculates the monthly target vs actual and annual target vs actual. 3 IR Sheet master creation Master task list of all operations can be entered by users. These operation lists are visible to inspection users for creation of Job-orders, can choose appropriate operations from the Master task list, after pre-inspection of Rolling stock and thereafter shop users would do work on Rolling Stock and complete the work. 4 Storage Location Master Each shop/section consists of a custody store where Store issued materials are kept, WISE is provisioned with the same (Virtual store) from where the materials are consumed to the Rolling Stock 5 Consignee Code Master Material is issued by stores to a Consignee code. These consignee codes have to be maintained by the individual workshop.

809. Business Process Flow Overview of workflow depicts how data traversing from CMM/FMM application to WISE application as the Rolling stock is detached by Depot user. After the receipt of Rolling Stock in WISE, workshop activities commences, the Shop/section users starts making entries in WISE, namely, Deficiency marking, Berthing, Stage progress, Assembly dismantling/installation, Material issue, Order creation/release/completion, Gang assignment, Mark-fit of assemblies, RS offer to NTXR, Mark fit/reject by NTXR and Dispatch of RS. Once the outturn of Rolling stock in WISE is done, data flows into CMM/FMM application. Further activities in WISE includes RS/Assemblies, Parameter recording, Production planning, Wheel condemnation, RS Modification, RS Conversion, RS Condemnation, Warranty claim and Scrap proposal are recorded in WISE application.
