Diesel POH Shop

- A huge product – mix is being handled by the Diesel POH shop. While the shop used to
carry out POH of only Diesel Locomotives, it is attending DEMU, MEMU, Tower Cars, SPART
and other types of motive power stocks that needs supply of a variety of material. Despite
regular efforts for supply of material, delay in assistance from other units affects the cycle
time of POH critically for these product mix.
