Case Study
Accelerating Fighter Plane Development in the Competitive Aerospace Environment
A client in the aerospace industry was engaged in the development of a new fighter plane for a foreign power. This project, a derivative of existing programs, aimed to create novel manufacturing and supply chain methods to speed up development and reduce both recurring and non-recurring costs. The project was structured to be fast-moving and intrapreneurial, but faced challenges in earning a “seat-at-the-table” in the highly technical design process.
I n a setting where performance considerations dominated, integrating manufacturing and supply chain input into the design process was difficult. The team also faced the challenge of securing reliable, actionable information amidst a complex and rapidly changing environment, where political, technical, logistical, commercial, and managerial factors were constantly in flux. The project demanded innovative solutions under tight time frames, all while managing internal resistance from intermediate managers.
T he operations team was restructured to be highly responsive,incorporating all necessary technical, commercial, and estimating inputs. They focused on providing value to the development process without needing immediate decision-making power. The team digitized the company’s vast but analog information resources, making critical data easily accessible. When technological challenges arose, they secured additional resources through cross-functional integration, both inside and outside the company. By setting clear goals, learning quickly, and implementing solutions efficiently, the team’s efforts became seen as supportive, eventually overcoming cultural resistance and leading to a more cohesive project execution.
