Wong lists five KPIs: on-time performance, completed trips, customer satisfaction, tech uptime, and maintenance.

Virginia Maloney

The current contract has some of the KPIs are on-time performance and customer satisfaction.

Virginia Maloney

Any other KPIs that you're evaluating the performance of the contract based on?

James Wong

Yes.

James Wong

So there are five KPIs that we have built into the system.

James Wong

So it's on-time performance, completed trips, customer satisfaction, tech uptime, and maintenance.

James Wong

So on all five of those, what we had decided when we were building out the system originally was we wanted to have something that's easy to manage and really straightforward.

James Wong

And for each of these, we have very clear measurements on what they are going to measure and how they are going to make sure that the system is being operated safely and efficiently.

James Wong

So, for example, completed trips.

James Wong

Yes, we are measuring the number of trips in the schedule that the operator is delivering, but there are a lot of things that go into that, right?

James Wong

Like you need your system to be maintained.

James Wong

You need your crew to be available.

James Wong

You need fuel in the vessel.

James Wong

There's all the things come together at these five KPIs to help us really manage the system well.
