FOIS Implementation
• Phase 1 – Goods train movement in terms of rakes
(RMS)
• Phase 2 – Train operation information in terms of
wagons (WMS)
• Phase 3 – TMS capturing all commercial
information relating to goods traffic from booking
to delivery
• Successful implementation of WMS is a
prerequisite for TMS
5
TMS Implementation Strategy
• Transitional Phase – Computerisation of
530 goods sheds/sidings
– Target December 2004
– Likely to be completed by March 2005
• Fully computerised phase – Capturing
information of all the goods sheds on IR
– Target March 2006
6
Procurement of Equipment
• Terminal Sub-system – Remaining supply
will be completed within two months
• Datacom Equipment – Routers and modems
are being procured by CRIS
– supply to commence from 15th Aug 2004
• VSATs are being procured by Railtel
– Installation will begin from October 2004 at a
rate of 50 VSATs per month
7
Electronic Mode of Payment
• Pilot project between coal loading points on ER &
ECR and Badarpur Thermal Power Plant(BTPP).
• TMS already commissioned at 5 locations on ECR
& ER catering to 19 sidings. BTPP under
commissioning.
• JPO under issue from Railway Board.
• Interface between TMS and Bank software under
development.

Assistance from Railways
• Site preparation should be completed latest
by October 2004
– Special precautions at the VSAT locations
• Monitoring of telecom network
• A proper account of PCs, UPSs and other
equipment is important
– Non-functioning of UPSs at many locations is a
cause of concern
9
Enforcement of Data Entry
Discipline
• Wagons
– Machine generated wagon consists
should be accurate
– Procedure for reporting wagon consists
from non-device location
• Locomotives
– Allocate correct domain and service
– Ensure updating of status at midnight
10
Review of TMS Locations
• Review of TMS terminals should be
finalised based on current and future traffic
trends
• Early response will help in finalising the
requirement of equipment and arranging the
same
• Review completed by some Railways
11
Engagement of Local
Implementers
• Local teams for speedy implementation
• Contractual short term agreement for the
transitional phase
• Will be trained in CRIS and deployed in the
field
• Identify retired senior supervisors and
forward applications to CRIS/CAO (FOIS)
12
Assistance from Board
• Sanction for the revised estimate for Rs.
431 crores is pending
• Includes the estimate for Control Charting
and Crew Management
• Saving in establishment expenditure
envisaged (up to Rs 20 crores) if the submodules are developed simultaneously
13
JPO for TMS Implementation
• Modify commercial rules for new
procedures
• Major modifications
– Issue of computerised RR & its electronic
transmission
– Rules for diversion and liquidating traffic
suspense
– Verification of data bases provided and system
of updating the same
– Procedure for handling traffic from non-device
locations (Nodal station concept)
14
Statistical Statements
• FOIS is capable of
– Generating commodity head wise statistical
statements (7A, 7B, 7C)
– Apportionment of goods earnings
– Origin Destination Analysis, and
– Other statistical statements relating to goods
traffic
15
Extension of Network
• Rates Directorate of Railway Board
