Outline:
The
investment in building a mass rapid transit system is huge and managing risks at
different stages of the implementation is crucial to the success of the project.
The talk will focus on procurement strategy, role of a system integrator,
managing the testing and commissioning of a multi-contracts environment, test
running of the system, working along side with the Operator during trial running
to ensure that the system is ready for revenue operation.
The experience of the North East Line which
is the world's first fully automated driverless mass transit system will be
shared to highlight the various systems related risks which were managed during
the implementation of a modern and complex railway project.
