This presentation shows how FPS was built in the project management plan to manage the acquisition of subway cars. It shows the use of FPS, and the links between the user needs as defined through FPS and how to link the FPS to detail engineering systems requirements to enable the agency to manage the project and check that contractors and sub-suppliers are meeting their requirements.
