  11. 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

  12. 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
