Understanding the benefits of performance based
model for Railways
• Performance-based contracting • the contractor provides to the client certain service levels within
specific time frames to achieve specific outcomes that support the client in realizing his long and short terms strategic objectives.
• PBC Includes:1) objectives and indicators by which to measure contractor performance, 2) information and data on the performance indicators to assess the extent to
which the contractors are successfully implementing the defined services and
3) provision of incentives or imposition of sanctions.
• PBC is a results-oriented contracting model that focuses on how a railways company safely, efficiently and effectively operates its railways infrastructure and assets to achieve its financial targets by realizing the desired operational excellence objectives and maintain sustainability.

Performance Based Contracting (PBC) process:
Step (1): Prepare a Business Case - a document that defines (Why, How, What, When, and Which activities to outsource) and reviews potential risks, benefits and other potential impacts on the company
Step (2): Define the expected Outcomes - a short statement reflecting the desired result or final deliverable of the contract (Benchmarking is essential)
Step (3): Define the required Measures - define a set of performance measures that collectively measure the organization’s performance against the outcome statement (Benchmarking is essential). It is significant to know what to measure, how to measure it, why its measured and when to measure it.
Step (4): Define the Service Levels - set performance levels for the performance measures, i.e. how well the contractor needs to perform (Benchmarking is essential) - (Performance Targets)

Performance Based Contracting (PMC) process:
Step (5): Define the remuneration scheme or Payment - develop a set of payment curves which set out the pay for performance regime i.e. how much the contractor gets paid for their performance level
Step (6): Define the variable remuneration scheme or Incentives - set out a group of incentives that encourage positive behaviors and discourage negative behaviors
Step (7): Prepare the Contract - draft, review, workshop and finalize a contract which covers all aspects of the performance, payment and terms and conditions of the relationship
Step (8): Continuous monitoring - Review - conduct an analysis of the outcomes, taking into account the differing definitions of success from the different groups involved in the contract.

Development of a clear understanding of performance requirements6. Promotion of strategic benefits for Contractor7. Integration of all contracting aspects in a single set of performance

Mitigating risks and ensuring smooth contractor-client
relationships
In order to mitigate risks and ensuring smooth contractor-client relationship the followings should be considered as early as possible:
1. Clearly define performance metrics2. Ensure that an outcome measurement infrastructure is in place3. If possible, use 3rd party monitoring/assessment of performance4. Permit leeway for uncontrollable risks (e.g., unanticipated events and
fluctuations)5. Appropriately limit responsibilities and liability to reduce likelihood of
disputes6. Develop mutually agreed-upon benchmarks/targets at the beginning of
the project7. Ensure transparency in communications and data exchange

The role of performance based contracts for improving
effectiveness of the maintenance function
The realization of the railways operational goals depends on the achieving of specific performance levels of Rolling Stock (Locomotives and Wagons) and specific performance levels of Infrastructure.
The Performance Based Contract can improve the effectiveness of the Rolling Stock Maintenance and Infrastructure Maintenance through , for example:
Operations Target per period = Operations Performance (Trip Cycle Time )x %Overall Rolling Stock Effectiveness x %Overall Infrastructure Effectiveness x Financial Performance rate x %Safety x …..x Other risks
Overall Rolling Stock Effectiveness = %Reliability x %Maintainability x %Availability x %Productivity x %Quality x %Utilization x %Financial Performance rate x %Safety x …..x Other risks
Overall Infrastructure Effectiveness = %Performance rate x %Reliability x %Availability x %Quality x %Financial Performance rate x %Safety x …..x Other risks

Efficiency: The comparison of what is actually produced orperformed with what can be achieved with the same consumptionof resources (money, time, labor, etc.). It is an important factor indetermination of productivity. (Source 2011 UNIFE – IRIS)

Takeaways

• Understand your Value Chain (primary activities and Capacity/Competency) • Conduct Cost-Benefit Analysis and Business Cases before making such decisions• Know your baseline and take-off from there • Benchmarking is a mandatory but wrong benchmarking costs a lot • Outsource or not to Outsource, this is the question!!• It is all about relationship and communication • Risks must always be monitored (move on and record lessons learned)• Contractor’s KPIs/Targets/Initiatives/individual performance measures…. MUST align with your
company’s strategic objectives • Always plan the entrance and plan the exit (Handover Process and Checklists are so helpful)• Put in place a robust governance • KPIs must not only be SMART but CLEAR:
• Collaborative (KPIs should encourage Contractor’s staff and your staff to work together collaboratively and in teams)
• Limited (KPIs should be limited in both scope and duration)• Emotional (KPIs should make an emotional connection to all staff
tapping into their energy and passion)• Appreciable (Large KPIs should be broken down into smaller KPIs so
they can accomplished more quickly and easily for long term gain)• Refinalble (As new information arise, refine and modify your goals)
