Increasing the efficiency of predicting the work of a locomotive repair enterprise through use of simulation dynamic models.

The operation and repair of locomotives is characterized by indicators that assess the quality of the repair and maintenance work performed. The article considers a new indicator that characterizes the quality of work of locomotive repair enterprises of service companies. The components of the equation are investigated and the procedure for calculating the coefficient of technical readiness is analyzed. It has been established that there is a time that is taken into account separately for the responsibility of the repair and maintenance company and is Administrative costs. In order to obtain a tool to increase the time spent by locomotives in working condition, it is offered to use simulation dynamic models. The main stages and results of constructing a simulation model of a typical technical inspection point for locomotives are considered. Dependent events were identified and the degree of influence was assessed. The conclusions are drawn that the current version of the simulation dynamic model can be considered a digital twin, because it is a digital copy of the existing physical process for loading the production section.
