Methodological approach to the strategy of operation, maintenance and repair of locomotives

Abstract

The described approach, in our opinion, most correctly reflects the mechanism of the locomotive
operation process itself, and therefore the relationship between these concepts. It is advisable to consider
repair and maintenance as components of a broader concept, such as technical operation. Important for
the transition to maintenance and repair according to the condition are the issues of the correct
interpretation of the terms of the strategy on establishing the relationship between the strategies of
operation (use) maintenance and repair of rolling stock. As the analysis has shown, there is still no unity
of views on these issues. The proposed methodological approach to solving these issues does not pretend
to be complete and complete. However, it can be used by specialists for further active work in this
direction.
