The article develops an integrated methodological model for advancing railway engineering through industrial cooperation. The model combines eight functional blocks — goal setting, diagnostics, cooperation design, economic justification, institutional support, implementation, assessment and monitoring — into a closed management cycle with feedback. At its core is the condition that output is constrained by the minimum of assembly capacity, bottleneck throughput and component supply capacity. The model is tested under three scenarios using official data on Uzbekistan’s rolling stock renewal programme for 2026–2030.Keywords
