range of modernisation must be
  • car power transmission system
  • carriages
  • car interior
  • driver's cabin

  • developing new concepts
  • introducing modern work methods
  • developing proper introduction procedures
  • higher technical level of the services offered.

 

The choice of modernisation concepts

The range of modernisation must be determined on the basis of technical and economic analyses which show efficiency and profitability of the proposed changes. The following factors must be included in the analysis:

  • preparing an index of justified modernization options, both already introduced and proven effective as well as the planned ones
  • calculating the total costs of introducing each of the options
  • analysis of savings (both measurable and immeasurable) which would result from the following proposals:
  • comparing the utilization parameters of the new equipment with the operation, check-up and renovation norms of MPK - Łódź Spółka z o.o.
  • estimating immeasurable effects by means of the indicator method
  • the choice of the modernisation package best fitting with the company's financial capacity
  • combinations of modernisation options allow each user to make an optimal choice
  • it is also possible that, depending on the financial situation, the scope of modernisation can be widened or narrowed.
