- Action points for COFMOW:
- Procurement: [Refer to the Suggested strategy for the
Maintenance of CNC machines, para 1)]
- Technology: Only latest technology, machines with AC

location, installation, isolation, operation, house-keeping, etc.
[Refer to the paper by COFMOW, given under para 1) of Summary of
Papers presented.]
- Training: Training at M/s HMT, CMTI, SIEMENS, FTIs to be
made use of. Hands-on training at DCW/ RCF for 2-3 months. [Refer
to para 5) of the Suggested Strategy…]
- Maintenance infrastructure: create maintenance
infrastructure for hydraulics/ pneumatics, PCB level repairs of CNC
machines. [Refer to para 4) a) c) and d) of the Suggested Strategy
…]
- Maintenance organisation: Create maintenance organisation
with qualified people. Suggested structure given at Para 3) b) and
c) of the Suggested Strategy …

consolidation.
- Making use of others’ experiences: See para 3)b), 4)d) of
Summary of papers presented. Also make use of the IRIMEE’s web-site
for CNC machines when it comes up.
- Action points for IRIMEE:
- Setting up a web-site for sharing information collected from the
railways.
- Acting as a nodal agency for organising meetings pertaining to
maintenance of the CNC machines and for disseminating knowledge
gained through case-studies.
- Points for consideration of the Railway
Board:
- Procedure for procurement of spares: Simplify the
procedure for procurement of imported spares for CNC machines on the
lines of para 2) of the Suggested Strategy…
- Centralised CNC maintenance Facilities: Guidelines may be
issued considering the points covered in para 3)a), 4)b) and 4)e) of
the Suggested Strategy …
- Devolution of powers: Suggestions have been given at para
6) of the Suggested Strategy …
- Constitute CNC Maintenance Group: This group could be
