Part 1: decision-making criteria EFRTC GM, Zürich 27.05.2011
In Order of Importance: EFRTC GM, Zürich 27.05.2011
Survey of Value-Adding Behaviours – Most Important: • good safety and environmental culture at all levels • clarity and simplicity of technical, legislative and safety standards required to be met in delivering the works • collaboration and concise, clear, timely communication • work is delivered to the agreed quality first time EFRTC GM, Zürich 27.05.2011
Survey of Value-Destroying Behaviours • Lack of clarity in scope of work to be done, frequent uncontrolled and late changes by client, specifications, standards and capacity • Poor site management or pressure to take short cuts • Short notice change to track access requirements or availability • Poor quality work requiring corrective actions and thus reducing track capacities for operators EFRTC GM, Zürich 27.05.2011
Case studies • PRORAIL on process of outsourcing track maintenance in the Netherlands • RFF – examples from performance contract which may affect outsourcing in France • Network Rail system of performance assessment of contractors offers and works in GB • GB (RIA) Value Improvement Programme driving waste out of the supply chain using collaborative behaviours • Finland on collaborative process of product life cycle and performance assessment by outsourcing • Switzerland - positive experience from collaborative way of working in whole supply chain with client (from long term planning to performing the work) EFRTC GM, Zürich 27.05.2011
The European Landscape • Estimates were derived, mainly by EFRTC (SG), of annual spend on track maintenance and renewal by each IM • Presented as an Appendix with further information • Approximate total £20b pa, c40% by contractors – mainly renewals. EFRTC GM, Zürich 27.05.2011
