Bombardier Transportation Sweden, Västerås, Sweden (former Adtranz and ABB Traction AB)

Working with Bombardier Transportation Sweden has been a long term engagement (1986 - ) covering a number of different areas and projects of which X2000 is the outstanding example. X2000, the Swedish High Speed Train Project. The X2000 project has been very complete with regard to RAMS activities(Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety). The total effort spent by Logistica is in excess of 40 man-years (as of late 2005). Our work includes full responsibility for the RAMS and LCC activities during the years 1986 - 1990, after which we have given our support in a less formal way. In addition to the normal analysis work the work has included:

Organisation, planning and management of the RAMS work
Establishment of a reliability section and training
Development and implementation of reliability engineering procedures
Development of computer codes for RAMS and LCC analysis
Development of standards for documentation
Development of purchasing specifications (with regard to RAMS)
