Un importante contratista de defensa norteamericano
Cronograma recuperado
Sobrecoste residual (desde 30%)
Sanciones evitadas
Desafío
Un programa estrella de armamento iba un 30% por encima de presupuesto y 24 meses atrasado; el cliente principal amenazaba con cláusulas penales multimillonarias.
Enfoque
We conducted a root-cause analysis of program delays, identifying systemic issues in requirements management, supplier coordination, and engineering change control. We restructured the program governance model, implemented earned-value management rigor, renegotiated key supplier contracts, and established a risk-mitigation war room with weekly senior leadership cadence.
Impacto
The program recovered 14 months of schedule within 18 months. Cost overruns were reduced to 8% of the original budget, and the government customer renewed confidence in the program, converting penalty clauses to incentive-based milestones.
