Program Management & Product Development in Aerospace & Defense

Successful delivery of programs is mission critical for the customer, contractor, and suppliers. Yet, surprises on program progress and cost are far too common. By their nature, greater innovation drives higher variability and lower predictability. Excessive delays and cost on a given program can put its future and ultimately the company at risk. Ensuring programs are delivered on time and to budget while being fit for purpose is a difficult task in today’s complex and dynamic environment.

CBS has developed Lean 6 Sigma based processes and proprietary support tools that eliminate waste in the Program Management and design process and provide on-going work task management control never previously attained. The CBS process provides real-time visibility for new issues as they arise in the product design process and ultimately yields superior design cost and Lean-times. CBS assists customers with achieving product objectives by improving program performance from the initial program definition and design, through the production of prototype, the manufacture and post production service.
