Implementing an Integral Management System for the Moscow Sheremetyevo International Airport APM

摘要

Global economic uncertainty and close competition between automated people mover manufacturers drives decision makers to value cost-effective proposals. Companies have to deliver integral solutions for product lifecycle management and give asset owners more value for their investment. In order to increase overall competitiveness, new approaches have to encompass the system design and build, as well as the development of broader O&M concepts that reduce operating costs. This paper presents a standardized integral management system that has been successfully implemented for the between automated people mover in Sheremetyevo International Airport. The robust operational concept under discussion has also allowed several other operating companies to increase contractual parameters such as system availability, to improve product reliability and safety, and to reduce the total cost of ownership. The herein described integral management system makes use of an overall organizational framework so as improvements to one-particular system can be shared between operating sites. The core is a unified quality control plan supported by processes and reporting platforms that promotes return of information. The latter is formulated in a form that allows each operating site to improve key processes as well as to implement corrective actions based on key performance indicators. The integral management system thus becomes a platform that supports the day-to-day activities of several operations and maintenance organizations, and it provides feedback to all participants preventing failure propagation and avoid reiteration of incidents.
