What is most important to Network Rail? Everyone Home Safe Every Day 8
Two Disasters Potters Bar (May 2002) Commuter train coach derailed at 97mph 7 people killed 76 people injured Lambrigg, Cumbria (February 2007) Virgin Pendelino derailed at 96mph 1 person killed 88 people injured 9
The Investigation Caused by faulty Switch & Crossing Assets Paper-based processes led to inaccurate asset management information Paper-based audit trail led to inspections being missed Network Rail could not accurately locate similar infrastructure due to inadequate Switch & Crossing asset information Network Rail made a commitment to the Rail Regulator to have an accurate and maintained Switch & Crossing asset database by December 2012 10
A new approach was needed Align information to business processes Connect people to information Maintain accurate asset information Leverage information to deliver service Automate business processes Provide holistic information to the rail industry 11
