The Basic Contract

Optimize the operation and maintenance of your rolling stock

In a rail sector facing increasing pressure on performance, cost control and energy transition, optimizing the operation and maintenance of rolling stock is becoming a central challenge for operators. Aging fleets, increased availability requirements, compliance with environmental standards and regulatory compliance require maintenance organizations to be questioned regularly.

Technical and organizational diagnosis

Any optimization process necessarily starts with a tailor-made diagnosis to draw up an overview of your situation. We need to deeply understand your operational objectives and constraints, your organization, your technical and operational difficulties with rolling stock. Based on the long experience of the SNCF group in operation and maintenance, we can then identify opportunities for improvement.

Optimization of reliability, availability and maintenance costs

Optimizing the availability of a fleet can be achieved through a multitude of initiatives, for example by improving spare parts supply flows, reorganizing maintenance plan tasks, or even implementing a predictive maintenance approach to free up certain installations.

To optimize the reliability of your machines, we generally adopt the FRACAS approach which, coupled with other approaches: supervision, REX analysis, performance management, guaranteed to achieve our goals.

Finally, the optimization of maintenance costs is very broad because it can concern both the organization of maintenance and its tasks, and the reduction of the costs of purchasing spare parts, their maintenance and their repair.

Reduced energy consumption and emissions

We attack large consumers of energy such as the traction chain (diesel or electric) or air conditioning/heating units, but also driving. Thanks to the SIM3PO software, we are able to model complete rolling stock, simulate its journey and compare different scenarios to deduce choices for machine modifications or driving improvements.

MASTERIS is also able to advise its customers by establishing a plan to reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions, thanks in particular to our experience in the use of bio-fuels, or in the transformation of air conditioning units to use fluids that comply with new regulations.

Your single point of contact

MASTERIS relies on the resources of SNCF Voyageurs and its network of partners

With MASTERIS, you benefit from a single interlocutor capable of mobilizing all the expertise, services and resources of the SNCF group as well as a national and international network of other partners, to offer complete, efficient solutions adapted to your needs.

Hardware engineering at SNCF is

2,200 experts spread over 17 centers across France
182 experts from the Synapse network (network of SNCF scientific and technical experts)
15 patents filed on average per year

In France, the SNCF group counts on:

10 technical center
5 engineering clusters

In Dakar, we are far from major European rail networks, so in the event of incidents it is important to be able to react quickly and independently. This is why it was important to improve the skills of the teams in lifting our Coradia machines and our work trains. MASTERIS was able to respond quickly and effectively to our expectations.

Within Hexafret, regulatory monitoring already exists on which ECE relies. However, it proved necessary to complete this monitoring in order to cover all the countries in which Hexafret operates, in particular Germany, Spain and Italy. Hexafret therefore turned to MASTERIS in 2024 to provide this service.

After a first year of collaboration, Hexafret satisfied with both the content and the contractual relationship, extended the regulatory monitoring contract in 2025. We appreciate its synthetic side.
