Abstract
Railway industry owes its ever-growing importance to several factors, chiefly the fact that it is considered a relatively more comfortable and efficient mode of transit in the face of rapid urbanization. This study deals with the ways of improving the manufacturing process of components used in the railway industry.In this regard, IRIS plays a vital role in the process of ensuring the customer satisfaction, product quality, efficient process management and innovation for all components. Hence, the study attempts to investigate into the ways to obtain more optimized results drawing upon the IRIS standards.
Highlights
Based on the ISO 9001 Standard, the IRIS rail standard is a management system designed to processes specific to railways
As part of the IRIS standards, through substantial changes and extensions in the overall management of purchasing processes and supply chain management systems, a separate management system is established to allow for further elaboration unique to the sector (UNIFE, 2009)
Organizing regular meetings is recommended as part of project management since it will strengthen communication with part-time employees
Summary
Based on the ISO 9001 Standard, the IRIS rail standard is a management system designed to processes specific to railways. Drawing upon the case study of IstanbulTram, the present study is intended to present the whole project planning process for innovation in line with the IRIS standards, and in doing so, proposes a comprehensive model from the customer to the product. The available literature contains several prominent studies investigating into the product realization concept with special emphasis on innovation and railway standards. In their study on the virtual re-design of a railway locomotive in line with the existing European norms, Di Gironimo and Patalano (2008a) organized their project development process drawing a top-down methodology, and performed a series of aesthetic, functional and ergonomic analyses drawing upon the digital locomotive prototype they realized. The modeling is performed in two phases: First, the key operational processes in the railway sector are identified, which is followed by an application of the general rules of process management and process orientation. The modified norm instruments are re-structured during the subsequent phases of the project
