The document discusses various components of ICF coaches including bogies, rolling gear, brake systems, and underframes. It provides detailed descriptions and specifications for sub-components of the dust bin, bogie frames, suspension systems, wheel assemblies, air brakes, headstocks, and buffing gear. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the products being procured and their individual parts in order to effectively manage materials.
2. Virtual WareHouse !
The dilemma
Materials Management or a stores Cader ?
Materials Management sounds
impressive !
Do we know the product we buy day in
and day out ?
Have we seen the product ?
Well, this is not really a part of my job
3.
How many times we call for the
drawing, study it and only then float a
tender ?
How many times the T.C. has the
knowledge of the product it is
deliberating about ?
A stores guy has an idea about the
product. A materials manager knows
the product.
4. The Dust Bin !The Dust Bin !
We all have an idea about the dustbin used in
coaches
Do we know the dust Bin ?
Purchased as per ICF Drg No WGSCWAC-6-
4-005 ALT. l/4
There are total 49 sub components in it. Yes 49
!
Majority of the components are of IS: 2062
steel
5.
Some components such as Pedal Lever &
pedal end piece is of IRS M41
Which fabricator will obtain IRS M41
steel for the few components ?
Result: Either a vigilance case or
harassment to the vendor
Why not change the material spec for
the Dust Bin.
Well, that’s not my Job !
The DustBin
6. Virtual WarehouseVirtual Warehouse
The writing is on the wall !
No awards for guessing !
There is limited or no attempt to know the
product before tendering or at the time of
placement of order !
Common refrain: Time nahi hai !
Locomotive sheds/ Workshops are not far away.
Will is lacking to know the product.
It is not considered important
7. Virtual WarehouseVirtual Warehouse
Busy officers not able to go to the
shed /Workshop to see the product.
An attempt has been made to bring the
product to the confines of Air
Conditioned environs .
8. Why know the components ?Why know the components ?
Most purchase officers are trained engineers.
However, most officers cannot identify the item
they are buying.
Totally dependent on decision of user
department for very basic issues.
No role in vendor development.
No role in inspection of stores at depot level
Hence , the non technical Tag.
No professional satisfaction.
9. Materials Management or Stores ?Materials Management or Stores ?
Stores ? Warehouse Manager ? Clerical ?
Materials Manager: Knows about Material
Types of steels , Rubber & Why to use a particular one.
What is the component ?
Where is it used ?
Why does it need replacement ?
How Can the frequency of replacement be reduced ?
Is there a better material available ?
Best time to learn is when there is a crisis.
10. How does one start ?How does one start ?
Go to the basics.
Macro to micro.
Assemblies to Sub Assemblies.
Sub Assemblies to components.
25 KV to movement of a wheel
Load transfer in rolling stock
Transfer of Buffing Gear forces in a rolling stock
No one is too old to learn.
11. What is the minimum web thickness of the ICF Wheel ?
A. 50 mm
B. 150 mm
C. 250 mm
D. 350mm
E. > 350 mm
What about LHB Wheel ?
19. Bogie FrameBogie Frame

for supporting bogie components.
Mechanical code silent about bogie
condemnation.
