Managing Track Alignment – No Bumps Ahead! Improvement management of track disturbance works which affect the stress of the rail + increased knowledge of stress free temperatures at critical locations has resulted in: 52% improvement in track buckles 33% improvement in reported track misalignments Track Misalignments Track Buckles 25 25 20 20 15 15 10 10 5 5 0 0 FY15 FY16 FY15 FY16 Significant improvement from FY2015 to FY2016 in number of reported track buckles and misalignments 5
Overview – Asset Maintenance & Management
Aurizon Network has delivered improved system performance The maintenance regime underpins continuing improvements in system performance and reliability for the benefit of the supply chain Million net BR Cancellations Performance to Plan Million net tonnes tonnes 900 250 90.00% 250 800 88.00% 200 200 28% 11% 700 86.00% 600 150 150 84.00% 500 400 82.00% 100 100 300 80.00% 200 50 50 78.00% 100 76.00% 0 0 0 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 Tonnes Performance to Plan Tonnes BR Cancellations NB: Performance to Plan reported in Aurizon’s FY16 annual results is 92.1% relative to scheduled services. Prior to FY13, Performance to Plan was measured relative to Agreed (weekly) orders. The graph has been prepared using Agreed (weekly) orders to illustrate the improvement in Performance to Plan over a longer time horizon. 7
Efficient total cost of ownership (TCO) is managed through the asset life cycle Design / Standards Disposal Operations Construction • Asset management philosophy optimizes the life of network infrastructure for the lowest whole of life cost • Operations phase is longest period in asset life cycle, representing 94% of total cost • Decisions made in standards, design and construction have a tangible impact on the longevity of the below rail assets during the operation period • Network Assets acts as the asset custodian for the full life cycle with the aim of providing a safe, available and consistent below rail asset 8
External requirements are the foundation of the Asset Maintenance Scope Strategic Asset Network Safety Management External Standards, legislation & regulations Management System (SMS) • Network Strategic Asset Plan Model (NSAP) • Long term asset strategy based on: • Predicted Asset Condition; and Standards, • Tonnage • Based primarily on technical Specifications standards and rules & Procedures Tactical Asset Management • Systems and procedures to eliminate • Implementation of Strategic Asset risks of safety caused by railway management taking into account: operations • Actual condition of asset • Detailed engineering standards for (visual inspections, track designing, constructing, monitoring, recording data etc.) maintaining and repairing rail • Actual trends & asset specific infrastructure requirements Continuous Improvement 9
Efficient Asset Management requires a balance Optimum State Reduced Costs Increased Costs Optimum State Reduced Costs Increased Costs Risk Risk 5 5 4 4 3 3 2 2 Asset Condition Capacity / Reliability Asset Condition Capacity / Reliability 1 1 0 0 Track Possession Cost Track Possession Cost Long Term Scenario Short to Medium Term Scenarios Long Term Scenarios Asset Management requires balancing: • Costs of the works • Reliability of the asset and resulting capacity available to the supply chain • The amount of track possessions required to conduct the works and resulting impact to system availability • The amount of risk if the maintenance or renewal activities are not undertaken • The long term asset condition which is impacted by the balance between preventative versus corrective maintenance 10
How are we achieving this balance? System Reliability Innovative Condition Based Asset Asset Inspection Management & Management Practices Cost Strategic Efficiency Preventative Business Master Data Safe Process Systems Improvements Safe Data Analytics Systems operations 11
Condition & Criticality Based Asset Management Prioritised Asset Condition of Asset Location Criticality Listing • Generic condition rating Location criticality determined • Ability to create long term across all asset classes by: asset management plans • Condition derived from • Tonnage over asset • Scope & timing of asset data systems – NAMs, • Impact of outage – inspections & maintenance remote monitoring including mean time of works is informed by risk & systems, track recording outage duration ranking of assets data & engineering • Impact on velocity assessments Supported by: Allows for: VALUE • Master Data Systems • Optimal investment (NAMS) planning for long run • Data Analytics assets • Greater network reliability (RAMSYs) • Asset condition trending • Greater system availability • Asset Management to inform decision • Better train planning Plans making 12
Master Data & Analytics systems are critical to long term strategic asset management Decision Support Tools Network Asset Management system (NAMS) Data analytics tool that allows for captured data to inform • End to end asset management tool. It provides a single asset condition and performance trend. Data sources source of comprehensive asset data. include: • Uses a world proven SAP solution that is integrated • Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) runs with asset management activities in field to ensure information is current and accurate. • Rail ultrasonic data • Provides timely and accurate information and reporting • Track car runs – track geometry to asset managers for planning and decision making. • NAMS data – inspections, work history, existing asset condition BENEFITS BENEFITS • Better informed whole of life asset management and • Consistent & data based decision making decision making • Trend analysis to inform scope and future • Track asset conditions over time allowing trend analysis maintenance practices • Planning maintenance so we are doing the right job at • Best asset condition information to inform investment the right time, at the right place for the right reason decisions and maintenance interventions • Aids condition based asset management – reducing reactive maintenance and risks of derailment and improving network reliability 13
Business Process Improvements increase asset resilience and reduce unplanned maintenance Improved rail welding processes, additional Increased focus on rail renewal to ensure training and inspection + new technology (Rail replacement is done ahead of failure and prior to Ultrasonic testing) allowing early detection of exceeding acceptable rail wear limits. defects not capable of detection via visual inspections has resulted in: Rail wear limits are set out in Aurizon’s SMS and consistent with other heavy haul railways. 85% reduction in defective rail welds 21% reduction in cracked rails Managing rail wear in this way avoids lumpy capital spend in future years. 700 Count of rail defects CQCN percentage of rail wear (%) 600 400 (0% = New Rail) Total Length of Rail (km) 500 300 400 300 200 200 100 100 0 0 FY14 FY15 FY16 0% - 20% - 40% - 60% - 80% - 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Pull Apart Cracked Rail Weld Defect 14
