14.11 INSPECTIONS & INSPECTIONS SCHEDULES:

14.11.1 Inspections: In a multi-tier Maintenance Management of any System, Inspections play a

very important role. There is no substitute of a good Inspection and thereafter monitoring
the implementation of noticed shortcomings and deficiencies

i) Inspections of Officers and Supervisors should not be like Visits to the Stations and
Installations. Inspections should be purposeful and meaningful. Quality of Inspections
is very important. Inspecting Official shall cover all points affecting the efficacy of the
System and Services, which it offers.

ii) Adequate importance shall be given to Surprise Inspections and Inspections in Night
time around midnight.

iii) „Tell-Tale‟ Signs or weak points noticed during Inspections are important and should
never be forgotten or left without a corrective action, before they can rise to any
failure or complaint.

iv) Each Inspection should be aimed at bringing out shortcomings in the Systems and
how to correct them.

v) Concentrate and Stress on „What is responsible‟ rather than „Who is responsible‟. This
action should expose the hidden risks and facilitate corrective actions.

vi) Performance of Supervisors and their Inspections shall be closely monitored by

Officers. They should be made accountable for poor Maintenance. They should be
insisted upon to check, during their Inspections, the Scheduled Maintenance work
done by the sectional Maintainers & JEs, Repairs and Overhauling work done by
Repairs Gangs, carry out the Tests and Measurements, which are required to be
done at their level and check the available Records of Maintenance for their
correctness and truthfulness.

vii) Realistic Appraisal of what exactly has been done as a Maintenance work is vital. At
times, an analytical study of what a person does in maintenance can be quite
revealing as it may also indicate what are the inherent faults in the design.

Telecom Engineering Manual Page 135

 If there is an inherent fault in the design then much repeated maintenance efforts are
to be put in to avoid a failure, which is prominently due to a faulty design

viii) Record keeping is another important area, which should be seriously followed up.
Supervisors and Officers must inspect the Records pertaining to Failures, Progress of
Replacement / Renewal works, Inspections carried out at a Station by JEs and other
data pertaining to preventive checks made by the Inspective officials etc.

ix) Compliance of Items of Inspection Notes shall be monitored religiously. Compliance

report shall be submitted by the concerned Supervisor, as a matter of course, to the
Inspecting Officer within 14 days of the Inspection and ordinarily all action on the
points brought out in the inspection Notes shall be completed within 3 Months time.

14.11.2 Inspection Schedules:

Inspection Schedules of Officers and Supervisors in Telecommunication shall be as

follows:

Designation Periodicity of Telecom Periodicity of

Systems/Equipments Foot Plate Inspection

Junior Engineer Inspection of all Telecom 4 foot plate inspections

At least 2 inspections in the night.
day and 1 inspection in
night every month.

14.12 FAULT RECTIFICATION AND ESCALATION PROCEDURE:

14.12.1 A failure in the system is either reported by the User or by the telecom staff to the CSS.
14.12.2 CSS, on receipt of failure details, shall inform to the Section Maintenance Staff on duty
for rectification. He shall simultaneously also inform the concerned Junior Engineer who
in turn shall keep a close watch, guide the Maintenance Staff & Proceed to site of failure
for early failure rectification. In case the failure turns out to be beyond the scope of
competency of Sectional Maintenance Staff, then Manager (Telecom) must proceed to
the site himself to supervise the restoration / rectification procedures.
14.12.3 In case a failure is not rectified within half an hour, CSS shall inform to DGM (S&T), if the
failure continues for 2 hours, DGM (S&T) shall proceed to the site of failure & information
is given to the GM/ED (S&T).
14.12.3 In case of failures of serious nature like Total failure of Communication (TFC), Radio
System failure causing problems in Train operations, failure of entire PIDS / PAS / CCTV
at a Station etc., GM (S&T) to proceed to site of failure and the information shall be given
to ED (S&T)/ Director (O&S).
14.12.4 After rectification of the failure, a complete report is prepared by the CSS which is
docketed to all concerned and is also covered in daily Morning / Evening Failure Status
Position in the following Format:

Telecom failure morning / evening position as on ------------ at ----------- Hours.

SN System Station Failure date Rectification Complaint Nature Remark

& & time date & time No. of fault
section
Current Failure:

Pending failures:

14.13 STRATEGY FOR REPAIRS:

14.13.1 The central repair centre shall be an important link in the maintenance chain. Repairs of
defective modules, overhauling and out-of-service testing of equipment shall be carried
out in the central repair centre. Test benches for different kinds of frequently failing cards
should be developed and provided for this purpose.

Telecom Engineering Manual Page 137

14.13.2 The central repair centre shall also be equipped to handle repairing of conventional
equipments such as CCTV equipment, telephone instruments, PA equipment, power
supply equipment - battery chargers & UPS and other electro-mechanical equipment
which need only conventional test and measuring instruments.

14.13.3 It may not be economical or feasible to provide in-house facilities for repair of each type
of card / module due to various factors such as, low failure rate of some cards resulting
in very few cards requiring repairs, unavailability of custom built components, fast
obsolescence of technology and high cost of automatic programmed test equipment etc.
repairs to such complex cards / modules may be carried out through an annual
maintenance contract (AMC) with the supplier firm or their authorized representatives.

14.14 STRATEGY FOR SPARES:

14.14.1 The maintenance philosophy adopted shall need that a spare module / card are always
available for replacement of a faulty module / card, whenever a failure occurs. This shall
imply that an adequate stock of modules / card is always maintained. The number of
modules / cards of each type required will depend on a number of factors as under:

(i) The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of the module / card.
(ii) The Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) the module / card.
(iii) The turn round time for a unit to be repaired at the repair centre or through AMC
and returned to the central store.
(iv) Total number of modules / cards of each type in use in the system.
14.14.2 As a general rule, 10% of cards / modules with a minimum of 3 cards / modules of each
type and 5% or minimum 1 housing for each equipment may be kept as spares. Based
on experience, this quantity may be increased.
