PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL PROCESS

Establishing Performance Standards:

To transport of commodities, men, equipment, material etc. with safety,
reliability and punctuality. Maintaining of proper and continuous preventive
Schedules rather than break down maintenance schedules to improve and
ascertain the fulfillment of mission. By replacing the spares positively through
its costs is very high by sacrificing a small portion of useful life.

Maintain schedules are drawn to attain the rolling stock from time to time.
Based on life expectancy and contingent working conditions. The inputs are
taken care for the high quality on conditions like time high technical expertise,
maintaining history records pertaining to the performance of the locos. Stringent
quality methods have been used to achieve these goals supported by
certification under the ISO 9002.

Communicate performance expectations to the employees:

The performance is assessed indirectly by the safety run of loco taken into
consideration. In case of failure of Loco a detailed analytical study is made to
know the reasons and identify the responsible person for his careless working or
bad quality inputs, mismanagement by the crew. Suitable awards are given
during the annual week celebrations on the spot, and group to encourage good
workmen.

Quality circle groups are maintained to analyze the problem and give
suggestions duly experimenting for reasonable modifications. A focus is made
on their epidemic failure and every chance is giving to the associated servicing
persons to give rational thoughts in eradicating it. To eradicate such problems
they are projected at the state and national level to encourage competitive spirits
prudential and union governments too will encourage them for suitable awards.

Thus, performance is indirectly appraisal In the case of senior sub-ordinates in

the administration staff. They too are given shields, certificate of merits and
grades in services registers. Which will be an added value in promoting them to
their next higher position?

Actual Performance:
This not being a production work and is confined to maintenance, quality, time
and price which are important outputs required as such enhanced production to
give incentive does not arise.

Actual Performance with Standards:

The standards of maintenance have been designed and indicated by the
designers, principal manufacturers and expertise management team.

As Railways is the oldest industrial establishment in India. It has 150 years of

experience, there is no companion, however the standardized activities are
strictly adhered and deviation at any level is not permitted since it cause the life
and wealth of the citizens.

Appraisal with the employee:

In the event of bad performance the concerned employee is sufficiently
appraisal by advice, verbally and in writing too, before attempting to punish
monetarily. He will be given sufficient chance to improve himself. Periodically
refresher courses are being conducted to update technical know how. Inducting
of technical developments that are taking place globally is being appraisal
technically and practically by giving tailor made training program. Every
training is followed by theoritical and practical assessment to keep in fit with
the situation. Every opportunity is given to present his requirements in updating
his Loco knowledge to overcome short falls.

Corrective Action:
Corrective action is taken to asset a person running short of his outputs by
providing him the additional infrastructure if necessary. Theoritical backup and
learning road by placing him under as killed subordinate. Thus, giving him the
opportunity to learn improves and exhibits his talents.

METHODS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

1. MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES:
Management based on the out come of previous production is called
management by objectives new targets are set according to the past performance
to achieve these goals the available resources are mobilized, and new
requirements are maintained with evaluating new policy. Additional machinery
can also be mobilized if required.

In this new targets are set up and to achieve them action plan is done with
responsibility to individuals in stage progress. Periodic reviews on the progress
of the work to reach the target are been done.
