CAUSAL DE REVOCACIÓN DE LAS DECISIONES DISCIPLINARIAS.

support capability, enabling Routes to achieve efficiencies through improving decisions and is required to effectively implement CP5 policies.

The level of efficiencies attributable to ORBIS across Routes is consistent with the £270m identified in the IIP business case.

Where ORBIS is split out as a separate efficiency component it is expected that additional changes will be required within Route asset management and infrastructure maintenance to realise the efficiencies. Where ORBIS is not split out it is acknowledged as a key enabling component required to achieve identified efficiencies.

ORBIS Overview: ORBIS is a major programme of Asset Information capability enhancements

that provides a vital enabler for condition-led asset policy implementation, enabling us to better manage our asset base for less, and better exploit existing railway system capability.

Efficiency Treatment: Routes propose two different treatments for recognising ORBIS

efficiencies, either: to split out ORBIS as a separate efficiency component, acknowledging that additional process or working practice changes will be required within Route asset management and infrastructure maintenance to realise the efficiency; or to leave ORBIS embedded as a key enabling component across identified efficiencies. Most Routes have applied a combination of these two treatments.

Renewals: ORBIS will provide better information to support CP5 asset policies, focusing effort

on critical assets, identifying opportunities for refurbishment and life extension, while assisting with effective prioritisation of renewals activities. ORBIS supports Routes in Track, Signals, E&P and B&C renewals. Full Track efficiencies are recognised from 2016/17, other efficiencies are expected to ramp up from 2015/16.

 Track renewal plans have been reduced based on ORBIS capabilities; including Linear Asset Decision Support (LADS), which overlays different sources of information to enable a better understanding of condition, degradation, impact of interventions, and underlying root cause; S&C verification and S&C criticality; enabling Routes to make better informed choices.  Signals renewal plans have been reduced based on ORBIS decision support using full asset

inventory and condition information, rather than the current sample, identifying optimum renewal points, creating scope and value engineering efficiencies across maintenance delivered renewals, minor works, and major schemes.

 E&P renewal plans have been reduced based on ORBIS improving asset information and providing decision support capability. Better condition data supports a fundamental E&P policy shift from time to condition based intervention, leading to a move from renewals to refurbishment in a number of major asset types including DC distribution, AC distribution/ OLE, electrical traction equipment, and signalling power cables, as well as fixed plant.  B&C renewal plans have been reduced in structures, buildings and earthworks, based on

ORBIS support for risk based renewals policies providing better understanding of asset risk profiles, and decision support in conjunction with the BCAM transformation.

Maintenance: ORBIS better information and decision support tools will enable maintenance

efficiencies in a number of ways: by volume reduction across budget lines, by reductions in administration across asset disciplines, through to improved asset and incident location information enabling maintenance and incident response teams to respond more effectively. Based on early availability of capability including mobile access and productivity-focused applications, efficiencies are expected to ramp up from 2014/15.

 Track Opex: ORBIS provides a multi-layered view of linear asset data, which enables us to better predict faults and understand the effectiveness of previous work, will create a range of efficiency opportunities dependent on Route plans and asset condition. A range of expected benefits has been identified across a number of track and off-track budget lines.

 Non Track Opex: ORBIS will create significant efficiencies in Maintenance Indirect. Routes have identified up to 50% reductions in administration across CP5 due to ORBIS enabling direct data capture, eliminating elements of rekeying, automating and optimising work orders and providing a platform for other applications. Direct Opex efficiency opportunities in Signals and E&P are limited where teams are sized for rapid response or other working practices. Additionally ORBIS has been recognised as an enabler within Rapid Response, providing planning support and mobile applications to facilitate information sharing.

Financial benefit: ORBIS financial benefits, c. £270m in efficiencies, are primarily achieved

through reduction in asset renewal volumes, implementation of lowest-whole-life cost

management policy for each asset type, based on driving effective CP5 policy implementation decisions. In making this readily accessible ORBIS smart-phone and tablet-based handhelds will eliminate paperwork, avoid future cost of positive reporting, improve incident response time and accuracy, and improve operational safety. These reductions will be enabled by ORBIS but require different processes or working practices within Route asset management and infrastructure maintenance to realise the benefits. ORBIS is funded to support the business change activity required.

Non-financial benefit: ORBIS will support a range of non financial benefits, including:

Asset Management policy optimisation, better management of safety risk, safer working documentation, location improvement, improved investment planning, improved RAMPs,

improved operational performance, regulatory compliance and reputation benefits. ORBIS will help Routes to avoid recording asset condition information on locally held pieces of paper, unnecessarily renewing infrastructure assets, planning work from outdated schematics, wasting time trying to locate an incident, rebuilding a network model each time it is required, re-surveying project sites and assets that have already been recently surveyed, unnecessarily printing and distributing thousands of tons of paper.

Benefits-led: The ORBIS programme has accelerated activity in advanced decision support

across Track, Signals and E&P. ORBIS will continue to be benefits-led and work closely with Routes to try to ensure optimum realisation of benefits and efficiencies. Typically for a benefits- led programme, which is creating and exploiting new capabilities, the efficiencies mix identified in SBP shows changes from IIP. Further change can be expected over the course of CP5 as new opportunities for information exploitation emerge.
