Kaizan in Railways

Railways may have to think fresh and come up with new ideas to match with airlines. I have few vague ideas which can be converted to practical requirement of floor.

1-      Employ young boys and girls well uniformed ready to do cleaning of toilet and compartment as a prime job, providing bed roll. Their secondary job would be to check tickets, a few minutes job in a single journey. They are suppose to check curtains & sofa including mechanical, electrical and electronics devices properly working and get them corrected if not possible by them. May please start it in Duranto and Rajdhani trains in which most of the time attendants and TCs are sleeping. Shift all old such guys to other trains as they won’t like to do it.

2-      In 15 hrs flight Mumbai to New York being vacuum toilets cleaning is not required otherwise meals serving, collection of used plates and waste including providing you pillow and blanket, guide to seat, assisting to keep luggage etc being done by qualified and so called middle class boys and girls at their sweet will.

3-      You may be worried for wage bill but I am sure it will reduce as productivity and business would increase. You have to remove or shift non-efficient staff to local trains and non A.C. compartments.

4-      I am surprise to note that Trivendram Nizamuddin exp. 12431 of dated 17^th July had occupancy of 15-25% through out with 50 % dynamic fare, showing full occupancy on booking portal. I travelled alone throughout in II A.C. with rest 5 berths unoccupied from Udupi to Nizamuddin boarding on 18^th July.

I would come up with few suggestions without spending much and providing facilities in A.C. for better comforts in my next blog.
