The brief
To protect their assets, Rock Rail wanted an independent specialist team to conduct inspections on these Siemens units – from both the physical unit and maintenance perspective.
The project would provide insight into whether or not agreed-upon maintenance procedures were being adhered to.
Encompass was tasked with conducting the maintenance audit of the Rock Rail-owned Cl 717 Siemens-built units. The project involved taking sample unit condition assessments, evaluating relevant maintenance records, and reviewing change management processes and records.
The team was required to examine the current maintenance regime and provide recommendations on future maintenance regimes. The detailed audit had to include the processes and procedures related to Deferred Work Management, Overhaul Strategy and Preventative Maintenance Scheduling, Maintenance of Owner Owned Spares and Engineering Change Management.
