STRATEGY

Owners, operators, and users of rail transport have differing needs and require varying objectives to be achieved. Generally faced with limited financial resources and invariably conflicting areas of interest, management has many problems to combat with. The present problem with most of the world’s railways is how to make the best use of the existing facilities rather than allocate new investments. As such the Railways of various countries feel the need to get. These are the areas where PRACS provides invaluable assistance to any Railways. It provides the best advice to solve problems/proposals in any field of Railways. As its strategy PRACS indicates a solution, directly addressing the required areas that are technically appropriate to the local conditions. PRACS is available to take up Projects of new Railway systems or improvements to existing ones at the international level and discuss the issues faced by any Government or Railway Organization.

PRACS picks Engineers & professionals serving as well as retired most suitable for the development of any project from the Pakistan Railways as per the requirements of the projects. It also hires experts from the open market to augment its human resources to accomplish the job to its perfection in manufacturing coaches, wagons & locomotives.
