Sammanfattning:
The measurement and management of railway
infrastructure capacity has received increased attention in recent
years due to the pressing need to optimally utilized the existing
railway infrastructure capacity and as well create more capacity.
In a bid to improve the maintenance function and utilization of
the existing infrastructure, some of the infrastructure managers
(IM) reviewed their approach to outsourcing of maintenance
functions, giving larger responsibilities to maintenance agent
called contractors. The growing responsibilities of the
contractors are however resisted by some IM due to some
unresolved doubts. This paper discusses the outcome oriented
approach to maintenance outsourcing; performance based
railway infrastructure maintenance contracting with its issues
and challenges. A framework is described and performance
monitoring tool is proposed to enhance Performance Based
Railway Infrastructure Maintenance (PBRIM) contracting as a
strategy for improving the effectiveness of maintenance function.
