Benefits of IPRS
IPRS is a unique and innovative service that has many Customer benefits:
By providing a process for the systematic collection and analysis of all available shipboard data, IPRS provides categorised evidence of the extent of shipboard problems. This new information is used in quality improvement initiatives to reveal and eliminate the root cause of failure.
2. Motivates the Ship Operators to improve their Performance
IPRS unites Cable Owners in a common cause - to motivate all ship operators to improve their quality of service. IPRS achieves this by publishing a league table of ship operator performance world-wide thus giving a strong incentive to those at the bottom of the league to do better. Those at the top will be proud of their achievement and will work hard to remain there, thus setting a Benchmark for others in the industry.
3. Early Warning of Problems
Lessons learned from problems experienced are quickly disseminated for the benefit of all.
4. Reporting Accuracy
IPRS is far more comprehensive and offers much greater reporting accuracy than can be achieved with "in-house" analysis. This is because commercial sensitivity prevents individual Cable Owners from obtaining all of the data that is available around the world.
5. Unbiased Reporting
Qualtrack is an independent company which is dedicated to serving the common interest of Cable Owners. There is no risk that reports will be biased in any direction other than to reveal the truth.
6. Confidentiality
IPRS enables the pooling of Cable Owner/Maintenance Authority information for analysis with no risk of compromising cable system confidentiality.
7. Cost Effective
A subscription to IPRS is many times less than the cost of "in-house" analysis and the reports produced are more accurate and comprehensive (for the reasons outlined in 4 above).
