  9. In Aerospace & Defense Quality Failure Could Mean: • 2nd / 3rd quality escapes discovered by our Prime customer at Integration Test • Launch failure • On-orbit failure • Missile fails to arm • Intelligence information not conveyed • War fighter in harm’s way We don’t get a second chance

  10. The Quality Journey . . . 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000 2010 Beyond Decade ISO 9000 AS 9100 Mil-Std-1520 Mil-I-45208 Mil-Q-9858 Acquisition Reform TQM Faster, Better, Cheaper Concurrent Engineering Driving Force Sample Inspection Operational Excellence Lean Manufacturing Error-Free Environment Process Control Tools 100% Inspection 6 Sigma Peer Reviews High-Performance Work Teams Statistical Process Methods Big “Q” 100% Mission Success Focus Baldrige Award Taguchi Juran Ishikawa Deming Increasing System Complexity Continued Evolution From Little “q” to Big “Q”

  11. What is Big “Q”? • A recognition that the quality of our procedures and products depends on the up-front (early life cycle) design processes being error-free • Achieving Big “Q” requires a holistic systems approach by each program and functional group to seek out problems, analyze causes and take effective corrective and preventive actions throughout the entire contract life cycle Forcing Retirement of Future Potential Problems in the Present

  12. Bringing the past to the present Bringing the future to the present Today Past State Future State • 100% mission success • Mil-Q-9858A • Inspect to find defects • Sort good from the bad • Big “Q” focused • 100% mission success • Operational excellence • Process-centric • Error-free environment Creating a Big “Q” Environment Moving forward We cannot forget our past while we build the future

  13. Big “Q” Spectrum of Opportunities Diagnosing cross-phase and multi-functional misalignment for quality Improvements Research IR&D Concept Refinement Systems Development & Demo Engineering Design & Release Production, Integration & Test System/ Mission Deployment Quality improvements throughout life cycle • Beyond the plant, a cross-phase and functional view • All functions participate continuously • Force “Up-Stream” Improvements • Converge on Big “Q” improvements via design team Technology evolution and increased complexity demand Big “Q” improvements

  14. Impetus for Raising the Bar The driving needs for Operational Excellence? • Increasing need for an integrated, end-to-end set of improved processes for development and recurring work • Space Systems Company defect rate • 76% of mission failures attributed to engineering defects and escapements • SSC enterprise experience on recent programs • Latent engineering defects have significant negative impact on technical, schedule and cost performance • Being proactive to sustain 100% Mission Success Increasing system complexity and technology evolution requires change

  15. Error Prevention For Each Mishap / Near Miss Multiple Things Go Wrong At The Same Time Multiple Defenses (Plates) Fail: Cert Product Eng (CPE), Resp Area Super (RAS) Supply Chain Product Assurance Test Discipline Infrastructure System Safety Supervision Employee Process / Equipment Etc. Risk Intended Deflection Incident

  16. Operational Excellence Today's environment leaves little room for error… • Lockheed Martin’s Operational Excellence Program provides: • Roadmap, principles & tools to cut costs • Eliminates waste & enhance customer satisfaction • Operational Excellence Program Objectives: • Drive process capability • Delivers on customer value • Provides common focus for productivity End State Goal… Lean processes with Six Sigma capability throughout the enterprise and supply chain

  17. Key Elements of Operational Excellence • Creating an error-free environment • Big “Q” focus • Peer reviews • Every process, product and paper . . . is perfect • Zero defects throughout product life cycle • One Company enterprise-wide processes • CMMI at all SSC locations • Partnerships: customer to prime and prime to supply chain • Communications • Relationships • Transparency • Forecasting cost, schedule and evolving technology • Program management Operational Excellence is an imperative toward ensuring 100% Mission Success

  18. Engineering • Peer Reviews • SME/Fellows program • Software/systems integration 76% Escapes are due to… • Product reuse • End-to-end systems effec. Production • Talent Management • Manufacturing & Supply Chain Excellence • Common subcontract flowdown • MFG PA&SS • ATLO • Operational mishaps • Supplier councils/summits • N/C reduction initiatives • Linked CAB • Error prevention • I&T • Supplier Human Resources • Skill certifications • Knowledge management & transfer • Future labor force Finance & Operations • LM21 excellence • Suspended loads analysis Little “q” Big “Q” • Inspection of hardware • Sorting • Acceptance • Test • Engineering processes • Requirement definition • Functional and LOB partnerships • Process discipline, adequacy, integrity Operations Excellence: Error-Free Environment Throughout Program Life Cycle Big “Q” Operations Excellence & Program Execution 100% Mission Success

  21. Sourcing is a “Team Sport” ‘Functional Silo’ Syndrome CONTRACTS DESIGN / Engineering MATERIALS PURCHASING QUALITY MANUFACT- URING Operational silos or “Over the transom” is no longer acceptable Build Effective Relationships

  22. Risk Management – Subcontracts Every Program has risk. Identification and management facilitates success. Failure to manage or predict ensures failure. Requirements Best Practices Monitor • Corporate & Site Policies • Early Involvement • Identifying • Planning • Assessing • Handling (Mitigate, Transfer, Avoid, Assume) • Metrics • Reviews • Audits • Process Assessments • Personnel Training • Risk “Waterfall” • Lean LM21 Operating Excellence • Supplier Assessment • Customer Partnering Proactive, Collaborative Engagement is Key

  23. Risk Management - Subcontracts Risk Based Subcontractor Assessment Tool • Excel based, point and click, results tallied and summarized

  24. Subcontracts Operational Risk Predicting trends & performance Supplier “comparison” using configurable measurements Suppliers current information in online databases

  25. Requirements Analysis “What could go wrong? … possible failure modes? … severity, P(o), P(c)?” Subcontractor Performance Based Specification Manage Risk KPP: “Spacecraft transmit/receive time” KPP: “Mux shall have <2dB insertion loss” KPP: “Filter shall have <1.5 dB insertion loss” KPP: “Waveguide shall have <0.5 dB insertion loss” Surface Risk - Prioritize - VOC Register Risk Lockheed Martin Supplier Risk Management
