Project tasks
- Validation of the maintenance process
Our approach
Transitio, as the owner, and MTR, as the operator of the Mälartåg trains, are responsible for validating the maintenance processes. This validation serves to complete the maintenance instructions and identify efficiency improvements in the maintenance processes. The train manufacturer Stadler is obliged to fulfil the contractually agreed specifications to ensure that maintenance is carried out to the highest standards.
The validation of the maintenance process is divided into five main phases:
- Requirements planning and definition: This is where requirements are determined and clearly defined.
- Definition of specifications and configurations: In this phase, the exact specifications and configurations are determined.
- Verification: This phase serves to carefully review the previously defined specifications and configurations.
- Utilisation: After the definition of requirements, design and qualification, which includes testing and commissioning, the utilisation phase follows. During this phase, continuous checks are made to ensure that the validated status is maintained. This is usually the longest phase and aims to ensure that the defined standards are continuously met throughout the entire service life.
- Decommissioning: The final phase involves the orderly decommissioning of the system while maintaining the documented standards until the end.
The aim of this structured procedure is to maximise efficiency and safety.
Customer benefit
Monitoring the initial qualification of devices and compliance with defined processes during the utilisation phase are essential. This enables effective process verification, which allows potential deviations to be recognised at an early stage. In this way, preventive measures can be taken before deviations occur. This preventive monitoring and early correction make a significant contribution to maintaining the quality and reliability of operational processes.
