ناSmall contribution of rail in freight and passenger / organizational structure reform should be a priority for the new management ‌ Railway

According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, due to the expansion of cities, the created demands and the increase of population, the world economy has become highly dependent on intermediary and service industries, especially the transportation industry.

The growth of an economy occurs when production reaches small and large consumers as soon as possible and at the lowest cost so that the production-consumption chain can be easily formed and meet the different needs of society.

Among the various modes of transportation, rail transportation is very important due to its features such as reducing energy consumption, greater safety and the ability to move a large volume of cargo and passengers, and therefore most developed countries with long-term investments in industry. Railways are paving the way for their economic growth.

برایAt the same time, in order to use the benefits of transit, the geographical location of the country in question is very important, for example, if it is an island country (such as Japan), it cannot generate income through transit; When we look at the geographical location of our country, we realize the God-given advantage of connecting land to several continents and subcontinents around our country, an advantage that can be worth as much as oil revenue for the country through transit, but unfortunately this advantage has been neglected in recent years. Is.

Rail transportation has its own complexities in the field of economics. In fact, in short, the main profitability of the rail network is freight, and a country can rarely benefit from rail freight.

If we take a look at the published statistics of freight transport from the rail industry, we will realize that we have a long way to go to achieve our goals and achieve the set prospects.

* Organizational structure reform should be a priority for the new management of the railway company

Mohammad Javad Khosroshahi, a rail transportation expert, told Fars: “According to the upstream goals and the vision document of the railway industry, the share of freight and passenger transportation by rail should reach 30% and 20% in the country, respectively, but Unfortunately, this statistic is about 10% and 8% in the freight and passenger sectors, respectively.

He continued: “Unfortunately, over the past years, we have had declining statistics in this area, except for a short period of time in which the then CEO believed that the structure of the railway industry was inefficient and showed his efforts to change this structure.” However, these efforts also increased the performance of the railway industry in that short period.

“If the network divides the railway industry into three parts,” the situation, “the rail expert said Organizational StructureDivide “efficiency” and “effectiveness”, the organizational structure plays a major role in solving the problems in this area, in the sense that no matter how much we soothe a sick body with painkillers, without thinking about principled treatment, just ourselves We are asleep.

Khosrowshahi added: “Improving the efficiency of the railway may be the same as housing, because top-down orders cannot make a industry profitable, and the work must be in the hands of the private sector under the supervision of government agencies, then there is no need to communicate.” And not a circular; The problem of our railway industry is the incomplete structure of the private and public state, and it is necessary to reform this structure as a priority for the new management of the railway company.

* The need to separate the state position from the railway tenure and give responsibility to the people

He said: “It may be difficult to express the main solution for senior managers of the railway industry, because it requires a certain sacrifice and requires the separation of government positions from the ownership of the country’s railways and giving responsibility to the people, a slogan that the 13th president has always emphasized Is.

“A situation can be the savior of our railway industry, in which the deputy minister is the observer and director of the macro-state of the railway industry, not the CEO of the railway company;” In the right structure, the CEO has the task of ensuring profitability and the public sector determines the playground. In this structure, goals and visions are drawn by the government body and the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development supervises and regulates the work to private companies or in fact the same People give up.

Khosrowshahi acknowledged: “This version may seem bitter to conservative executives, because they have to give up everything on the presidency.”
