PROVEN ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Coach: A team of Test Equipment (TE) Design Engineers faced a technically challenging project with critical cost and schedule constraints. If the team did not meet the contractual delivery date, the company would have to pay a 10% penalty of $3.8 million. Coached the team through developing a detailed project plan that they would own and execute. RESULT: Customer’s requirements and schedule were met and exceeded, avoiding all penalties. Team Achievement Award was presented to the team for their excellent execution of a major TE project.
Recover: Took over the Integrated Product Team Leader (IPTL) position for a project to build new Test Systems for the EKV program. The project was 60 days behind schedule and 40% over budget. Re- planned the project and led a deep-dive into design problems. RESULT: Test Systems were delivered in time to support critical flight tests and 60% of the projected cost overrun was recovered.
Inspire/Mentor: A US Government security planning oversight forced a 30 day shutdown of all installation and on-going training in Japan. The project team was upset and dejected, believing that they could no longer meet the customer’s requirement to start operations in the facility by the required deadline. Rallied the team, inspiring them to think creatively and work together to overcome the time lost. RESULT: All integration and training was completed three days before the scheduled facility opening. The customer was elated and recognized the team for their significant achievement.
Collaborate: The Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) announced they would be four months late in providing the high purity liquid argon gas supply required for one of the missiles to be tested in the new Intermediate Level Maintenance Facility (ILMF). The JMSDF ship maintenance schedule depended on the facility going operational for at least one missile type and the delay would compromise fleet readiness. Worked collaboratively with JMSDF and the U.S. Navy to split the project into two phases, allowing the facility to open for the critical missile type first. RESULT: The ILMF went operational for one missile type on schedule. JMSDF was able to certify those rounds and deployed the ships on schedule.
Execute: Responsible for three separate Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) contracts to provide technical support to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. These contracts were valued at approximately $2 million each and were bid at 30% margins. RESULT: Executed contracts very lean and efficiently and was able to realize over 60% margins (doubling profit) while continuing to delight the customer.
