Project context 3 Subway originally built in 1966 Two series of subway cars in service MR-63 (1963), to be replaced (40+ yrs. of service) MR-73 (1973) May 2006: authorization to acquire 342 new subway cars Project divided 3 into 13 packages, including section 5, Definition of new subway cars Realization over 8 years Total budget $1.2B
Project context 4 2012: delivery of first subway train Project objective: Define, acquire for a fair price and implement the new cars, while improving client satisfaction and the company s s performance. 4
FPS-related issues 5 Define STM s needs, constraints and expectations to serve as input to the newly- formed project office Mobilize and facilitate operational integration Leverage internal expertise 5
FPS target objectives 6 FPS makes it possible to: Position internal client in the process Define the STM s needs list Record needs in a single directory Create benchmarks to evaluate the supplier s solution 6 solution Mobilize employees and align resources Be equipped with a robust, dynamic tool
Methodology 7 Facilitate the needs analysis process teams Consolidate work of teams Summarize work Produce final FPS 7

Value of FPS process STM s point of view 14 Global process that Considerably limits omissions Allows clients to precisely define their expectations (content and relative importance) Mobilizes the company resources Positive elements Excellent coverage in the business Employees generally feel a sense of recognition 14 High level of employee appreciation Usefulness of FPS results 80% contribute to defining the expected product 20% were obvious
Conditions for success 15 Plan process well Have management approve process Carefully select and train participants Ensure complete representation while avoiding redundancy and bystanders Obtain professional, independent and qualified facilitation 15 Ensure group leader s s permanent presence at workshops Avoid absence and replacement of participants Validate workshop results with operational managers
Conditions for success Other considerations 16 Caution Do not create false expectations; keep participants well informed Limitations Consultation at very beginning of project process. Cold start. Possibility of challenging elements after the fact. 16 FPS have limitations Special effort Processing and ownership of criteria by project office
Conclusion 17 Time will confirm relevance of our choice The MR-08 team continues to experiment STM uses FPSs in other projects STM frequently uses VA/VE in its major projects in order to maximize added value 17
