HTM, the tram operator and maintainer in the Haaglanden region (The Netherlands), is working together with NEM Solutions to improve their tram wheel maintenance process as part of HTM’s efforts to continuously improve the technical reliability of the rail system to support the already high level of service to their customers. With this continuous improvement HTM is also looking for resource optimization.
NEM Solutions has designed a HTM specific roadmap for improving the wheel maintenance, with the goal of predictability and overall efficiency through Operation and Maintenance costs reduction. Implementation of this roadmap is a joint effort where HTM and NEM Solutions work closely together.
To facilitate the continuous improvement cycle in the long term, NEM Solutions is implementing A.U.R.A. Wheel, a tool for optimum wheel life cycle management and analysis.
