Re-baselining for a UAV development program
CHALLENGE
Our client was preparing a program launch for a military aircraft while the program is undergoing a reorganization. Program ramp-up is in progress – however, planning maturity is low, project integration limited, synchronization at program milestones insufficient and the margins weak. Program governance as well as the time management plan required a more rigorous approach.
SOLUTION
Schedule and governance issues were addressed through:
Restructuring of program schedules and underlying projects according to a ‘Route-to’ logic, as well as enforcement of synchronization points to manage interdependencies
Integration of major subcontractors in the baseline planning and definition of a joint convergence plan for project ramp-up and milestone delivery
Re-definition of detailed (level 4) schedules and consolidation into a master program
Definition of guidelines and rules for the deployment of the scheduling tool
Definition of a pre-program launch governance including steering cycles and KPI monitoring (S-curves and deliverables backlog management)
Structuring the ramp-up management plans for engineering and production
