Axle counter, which is an integral part of signaling systems, plays an important role to control the train movement. This paper aims to analyze its performance on the basis of its failure incidents. In this context, failure data points of axle counter from a station of Kolkata metro railway has been collected for a period of 15 months. The overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) based on availability, performance and quality has been calculated for each of these 15 months. It is observed that mean of OEE is around 75% and variation is 10% approximately.

Abstract


Axle counter, which is an integral part of signaling systems, plays an important role to control the train movement. This paper aims to analyze its performance on the basis of its failure incidents. In this context, failure data points of axle counter from a station of Kolkata metro railway has been collected for a period of 15 months. The overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) based on availability, performance and quality has been calculated for each of these 15 months. It is observed that mean of OEE is around 75% and variation is 10% approximately.
