FPAL

What is FPAL?

First Point Assessment Limited (FPAL) is the oil and gas supply chain database for the UK and The Netherlands and is a division of Achilles Information Limited.

FPAL is the key tool used by oil and gas purchasers to identify and select current and potential suppliers when awarding contracts or purchase orders.

FPAL was set up in 1996 by the industry as their solution to internal vendor approved lists and continues to successfully eliminate costly duplication in pre-qualifying suppliers.

FPAL and MSL

Maintenance Support Ltd has been involved with FPAL since 2007. During this brief time we have utilised the system in a wide variety of ways:

Performance Measurement
Continuous Improvement
Benchmarking
Market Leadership
Excellence
Linking workforce to end-user

By imparting this knowledge to our workforce they are empowered to understand how their daily tasks impact on the success of the company.

Capability Profile

Maintenance Support Ltd is one of the first companies in our market sector to have seen the benefit that capability profiling has to offer. Simply, by going through the questionnaire we were able to quantify the existing core competences of the company as well as identify key areas for improvement. By completing this process we have established fundamental benchmarking criteria upon which to continuously improve.

Performance Feedback Reports

The company strives to capture client perceptions by using performance feedback. This not only pertains to the FPAL process, but also directly influences our continuous improvement programme. All clients are canvassed for their honest opinions on the company's performance and this information is used to improve our operations, products, services and ultimately value.
