IMS Customer Snapshot

The Boeing Company

Chicago, Ill. www.boeing.com

Business Challenge

IMS’ challenge was to take the existing implementation that had been accomplished incrementally over a period and to restructure and stabilize it so that it would:

• Provide a basis for scheduling and managing design and manufacturing engineering activities
• Facilitate BCAG’s Performance Management practices
• Interface seamlessly with existing legacy systems
• Pass Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) approval requirements for the use of P3e as the project control tool for Boeing

Solution

IMS conducted an abbreviated needs analysis and recommended changes on four fronts:

• People - enhancements to the P3e user training program
• Processes - streamlined and effective project management and configuration control processes
• Configuration – configuration of the application around best practices and with the establishment of configuration control management
• Software performance - implement a thin client environment and upgrade network and desktop components

Impact

The project will enable leaders and project teams to understand resource capacity and capability; deliverables and customer needs; and to meet cost, schedule and quality commitments.
