The presence of a process of continuous reduction in the cost of production is one of the key conditions for ensuring
the viability of an enterprise in a market economy. In the Railway Transport Department of JSC Uralasbest the reduction in
the cost of production is one of the main functions of engineering and technical workers. As part of the given function,
engineering and technical workers develop and implement the activities on the improvement of the key indices of mining
equipment industrial exploitation system. The article presents the result, obtained by the workers of the Railway Transport
Department on the solution of the problem of complex reduction of the quantity of failures of wheel-motor blocks of

locomotive units. The complexity of the solution consists in the simultaneous reduction of negative influence of the factors
of the two main subsystems of mining equipment industrial exploitation – the systems of engineering application and the
systems of repair service.

Key words: complex solution, Railway Transport Department; failure; repairs; wheel-motor block; locomotive unit;
breakage of gears; short circuits.
