CHPTER-III3.0 Critical analysis, requirement of staff vis-à-vis workload and recommendations &

suggestions :-

3.1 Critical analysis & requirement of staff vis-à-vis existing workload for ElectricalBranch of Coaching Depot/BSP:

As it is evident that Capital & labour are the basic factor of an organization and thereofhuman resource is one of the most indispensable assets of the organization. Continuousupdating & designing of job descriptions of, reduction of number of Categories for jobenrichment through Multi-skilling, training and responsibilities are need of the time.Therefore, rightsizing of Manpower substantially optimizes a system to work with requisiteeconomy with more productivity.

Coaching Depot is set to mainly deal with the due schedules based on fixed periodicity ofpassenger carrying trains for Primary / Secondary / other end maintenance for eachactivities. The terms of reference is to review the staff strength Vis– a – Vis existing workloadin view of Outsourcing of non-core activities and multi-skilling of available manpower.Accordingly, the Work Study Team visited the Depot with a view to optimize efficiency withoptimum utilisation of manpower & available assets, collected the relevant data, observedthe existing system of working procedure & workload for assessment of need basedrequirement of Staff for both train Lighting & AC section of the Electrical branch atCoaching Depot/Bilaspur.

Moreover, the assessment of manpower aims to have a requisite staff at right place at agiven point of time to enable the organization to achieve its short term and long term goalsas the process of critical analysis involves an appreciation or evaluation of existingmanpower and ensuring the deployment of manpower according to the requirement ofspecific jobs.

Based on the direct observations and data furnished by Sr. DEE (G) Office/Bilaspur, it isobserved that the Coaching Depot/BSP has the Sanctioned Cadre of Staff for Train LightingSection is 95 against which 85 Staff are On-rolled resulting 10 posts vacant where asSanctioned Cadre for AC Section is 88 against which 96 Staff have been deployed whichresults 08 Staff excess to the present Sanction strength.

During the Course of study, based on discussion held with In charge/supervisors, it ispointed out that presently no work in Train Lighting Section is done by contractual workwhereas Railway Board vide its letter no. D.O. No. E (MPP)2006/1/89 dated 04.10.2006 hadsuggested that non-core activities & traditional work should be outsourced. It is alsoobserved that the existing workload may be coped up by implementing the proposedoutsourcing on top priority and besides this, Work Study Team also recommend toOutsource the some more non-core activities such as Cleaning of Electrical fittings,material handling /Material preservations and upper gear maintenance work.

Relevance of Outsourcing in present Scenario:In present scenario Outsourcing of activities belongs to non-core activities & non-

safety category has become inevitable in terms achieving the goal of high economy and lessoperating ratio.Outsourcing has seen a lot of stress in recent time. It is need of the hour to adoptoutsourcing policy towards operating ‘’ Non-core Activities’’ as the outsourcing is basically astrategic use of outside resources to perform activities traditionally being carried out bydepartmental staff and resources.

In terms of non-core activities, the outsourcing policy may adopted to a large scale toachieve following goals:

Economy with higher efficiency.


Reducing & controlling operating costs. Making resources available to focus on core activities. Enhancing potential & capabilities up to standard parameters. Sharing risks with outsourcing Agency.

Advantages of Outsourcing:Outsourcing can be undertaken to varying degrees, ranging from total outsourcing to

selective outsourcing as per requirement, suitability and feasibility. In contrast, selectiveoutsourcing may target a single, time-consuming task within a department, such as non-core activities & non-safety work that can be handled more efficiently by an outsidespecialist.Taking the above things in account, some of the remarkable advantages of Outsourcing areas under:Cost Savings-

There can be significant cost savings when an activity is outsourced. Employeecompensation costs, office space expenses and other costs associated with providinga work space or manufacturing setup are eliminated and free up resources for otherpurposes.

Focus on Core activities-Outsourcing allows organization to focus on their expertise on core activities. Whenorganizations go outside their expertise, they may not be as knowledgeable asrequired about the work and this could potentially take away from their main focus.

Improved Quality-Improved quality can be achieved through outsourcing with more expertise and morespecialized processes.

Higher Satisfaction level-The advantage of having a contractual work is that they are bound to certain levels ofservice and quality.

Operational Efficiency-Outsourcing gives an organization the ability to perform the work with specializedsystems and Specialization provides more efficiency that allows for a quickerturnaround time and higher levels of quality.

3.2 The Need for Multi-Skilling concept:At the same time, it would be relevant to point out that human resource is one of the mostindispensable assets of the organization and Continuous updating & designing of jobdescriptions, reduction of number of Categories for job enrichment through Multi-skilling,training and responsibilities are need of the time.

Advantages of Multi-Skilling:I. Flexibility

Staff who are able to perform a large number of tasks can fill in for other employees,increasing workforce flexibility.

II. CommunicationKnowledge of various tasks can increase the understanding of other tasks and improvecoordination & communication with the concerned authorities.

III. Positive effects on innovationThe processes of improving design concepts are easier because of the individuals ‘Multi’knowledge by means of adopting Multi-Skilling concept.

IV. Employment securityA multi-skilled workforce is not as threatened if skills become obsolete because of newtechnology.

V. Project efficiencyThrough increased level of multi-skilling, work can be re-organized so that it can beperformed most efficiently. Multi-skilled workers carry projects through, sometimes allthe way from start to finish often taking ‘project ownership’.

3.3 Requirement of Staff for Train Lighting section:

As described in Para 2.5, the major & heavy part of the Train Lighting section’s work load isbeing dealt at Washing Line, Sick Line and at Train Passing site and out of total Strength of85 Staff, 75 Staff are working to cope up this work load. On the other hand, reaming 10Staff are being utilized in Store Section, Sr. DEE (G) office, RA + Breakdown ADEE (G)/Office

Critical assessment of performance of Train Lighting Unit reveals some of the noticeablefacts, which may be described as under:

I. Total sanctioned Cadre strength of Train Lighting Section is 95.

II. Total on-roll staff strength is 85. However, it came to notice that average 75 Staff areavailable for dealing with the existing workload as some of the Staff are working atother places and some of the Staff are remain absent from their duties.

III. During the discussion held with concerned In charge/SSE/JE, it is revealed that alltypes of routine activities regarding maintenance work, attending Break down,attending Complaints carrying out Supervisory work and non-Supervisory work arebeing done by departmental staff.

IV. However, some of the non-core activities have been proposed for outsourcing and detailhas been furnished in Para 2.15.

V. Due to increasing trend of work load by introduction of new Train year by year,presently requisite manpower are being managed through Staff pulling management asper requirement.

3.4 Conclusion:Thus, the implementation of recommended and proposed outsourcing will leads to achievethe requisite result as the Staff presently involved in non-core activities, would be availablefor dealing of Core activities up to large extant after the outsourcing.

Hence, keeping the above facts in view and making critical assessment for therequirement of Staff in Train Lighting Section, conclusive proposal derived by the WorkStudy Team are as under:

I. Along with implementation of Outsourcing, the Study Team opines that necessaryinitiative should be made to adopt Multi-Skilling Concept in routine working bymeans of imparting adequate Training/Learning so that a single person may be ableto perform various activities

II. 03 more Supervisors (02-SSE+01-JE) should be deployed for smooth monitoring ofCoaching Maintenance Work, Control/Repairing/Yard/Sick Line activities and TrainPassing examination work respectively against the existing Vacancy in SupervisorCategory.

3.7 Requirement of Staff for AC Section:During the course of Study, it is observed that the maintenance of AC coaches are beingdone by both Railway and Contractual Staff as many of the maintenance activities relatedto AC Coaches are getting done through Outsourcing. As it is evident that AC Staff havebeen deployed at many locations in various Shifts, it is necessary to ensure the availabilityof required manpower categorically at the needful locations and in present Scenario thistask may be accomplished through Outsourcing & Multi-skilling concept.

However, activity wise utilization of AC Staff in brief may be described as under:

I. Approx. 54 staff are engaged in maintenance work of AC Coaches at Sick Lines,attending Break down of Split AC/ Water Cooler/Window AC/package AC, on boardPlant operation, pre-cooling of AC Coaches, rectification of AC Break down inBilaspur Settlement, operation of AC Machines in GM Building etc. in general shift.


II. 05 Staff are working in P1 shift for maintenance of Primary Rake-BatteryMaintenance/ replacement & Charging, all Safety items checking, Roof MountedPackage Unit (RMPU) –Checking testing rectification of any other discrepancies & Pre-cooling etc. for only one Rake(04 to 06 Coaches).

III. 19 Staff are deployed in P2 Shift for Sick Coaches attention, IOH work andmaintenance of 13 RA Coach as per requirement.

IV. 10 staff have been deployed in P3 Shift for attending Primary maintenance of aveg. 02Rakes.

V. It is also observed that aveg. 08 to 10 Staff are unauthorized & long Absentee.

As described in Para 2.11, many activities of AC Section like maintenance of AC equipmentsin Bilaspur Settlement, Bed roll ACCA distribution work in AC/LHB Coaches, maintenanceof 25 KVA Inverter, LHB Rake power car maintenance & escorting etc. are being carried outthrough outsourcing.

Besides these activities, the following activities may also be Outsourced to meet therequirement of Staff :

I. Pre cooling of coaches at platform.

II. Material handling work for DS 8.

III. Pulley Mounting on axle at coaching complex.

After implementation of above suggested Outsourcing, approx 10 to 12 Staff involved inthese activities would be available for utilization in Core activities and thereby the existingwork load may be coped up to a large extent.

In addition to this, execution of Multi-Skilling concept will leads to optimal utilization ofavailable workforce and hence it would be helpful in neutralizing the present and upcomingwork load up to significant level.

Thus, overall 08 excess Staff (as Total Sanction post=88 & Actual deployment=96)should be redeployed at suitable places and 02 vacant posts of Technician Gr.-II,identified as surplus, are recommended to surrender. Simultaneously, it is alsoproposed that 06 vacant post of Technician Gr.-I should be filled up as per theextant rule to right size the present Cadre Strength of AC Section.Based on critical assessment and considering the above facts with a view to optimize theutilization of manpower along with making the existing system financially more viable, thesummary of need based requirement of Staff in AC Section of Electrical Branch of CoachingDepot/BSP is as given below:
