Aerospace & Defense
The numerous organizations working within the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry face unique challenges in their bid to win defense and government contracts. Not only are A&D companies bound by fixed budgets and inflexible project timelines, but they must adhere to the strict auditing and performance reporting standards mandated by the federal government. If A&D contractors miss deadlines or incur cost overruns, they are subject to lost profits and legal action, and will most assuredly lose out on future bids for government work.
To avoid this, A&D companies must implement a disciplined project management process in order to keep their projects on track. A sound project portfolio management (PPM) process enables A&D enterprises to manage their portfolio of projects and programs across internal and external global teams, and it allows for standardization and rapid decision-making. PPM can even maximize return on investment by ensuring projects continuously support organizational goals and objectives. Additionally, PPM can help A&D contractors use past project performance in order to generate winning bids on future government contracts.
Dekker has been helping A&D customers create a disciplined approach to PPM for over 20 years. We offer a wide range of education, consulting and software products that allow A&D corporations to implement and maintain an effective project management process. Dekker also provides the necessary tools to automate data capture for earned value (EV) reporting requirements such as:
- Department of Defense Instruction 5000.2, “Operation of the Defense Acquisition System”
- ANSI/EIA Standard 748-B, “Earned Value Management Systems”
- OMB Circular A-11, Part 7, “Planning, Budgeting, Acquisition, and Management of Capital Assets”
- NASA Policy Directive 7120.4C, “Program/Project Management”
Dekker’s solutions will help expedite project management, idea management, risk management, resource allocation and collaboration, thereby enabling your company to realize the maximum return on its investment.
