RIA Members – February 2010
Railway Industry Association
RIA
• Works closely with DfT, NR and UKTI, plus ORR, RSSB etc
• And increasingly with BIS and LUL• Seeking to identify and foster areas of common interest,
i.e. constructive engagement e.g:– Founded and promotes the Value Improvement
Programme to drive out waste– Major contributor to TSAG– Lead promoter of the National Skills Academy for
Railway Engineering, just approved• Does not claim that anyone has a right to workload
While supply companies
• Deliver virtually all of Network Rail’s renewals and enhancement programmes
• Deliver all new rolling stock, most refurbishment, much r/s maintenance
• Are significant exporters, especially of consultancy, high-tech components, contracting
• Employ 40% of the railway industry labour force:

Railway Industry Association
Size of the UK Rail Industry
Employees, estimated
Total Industry, at least 190,000
Operators (TOCs/FOCs) 60,000
Network Rail 36,000
London Underground 19,000
Supply Industry 75,000
So supply is about 40% of the industry
(HS2 Cmnd Paper)
Railway Industry Association
Members:
• Are competitive, used to working in the world’s most open railway market
• Are often in international ownership• Want to compete vigorously against more consistent
demand allowing them to offer best value for money to their clients
• But instead experience the damage caused by irregular and unpredictable ordering:
– inhibits investment and training– forces inefficient use of resources and waste

Risk and Waste
• Supplier MDs are paid to use their professional experience to make judgement calls against uncertainty
• They expect to compete and do so• But it is pointless, and very expensive, to make them
take risks that are controlled by the client• And they see much waste in the system• Both sides need, at least, more dialogue, and closer
understanding of how each impacts on the other
Railway Industry Association
Welcome recognition in the HS2 Command Paper Ch 12
• “Government needs to start working now to secure a strong and competitive supply chain”
• Working with the supply chain to enable companies to plan ahead
• A supply chain forum• An industrial strategy• Procurement that works for Government and industry
alike• Adoption of the Sustainable Development principles
Railway Industry Association
Potentially very important
• To securing– Best value– Optimised life cycle cost, including maintenance– A sustainable industry– Continuing to create value in the economy– And enhanced exports potential from a stronger
base.
But we have a long way to go!
