Mission Assurance and Op Excellence Model Speaker: Peter Kampf

Mission Assurance is impacted by everyone who works on a Raytheon product be they in one of our centers or at one of our supplier partners or even in a design setting. Operational Excellence provides a setting of alignment for all and it infuses maturity and innovation in its pursuit of continuous improvement.
The presentation will discuss alignment techniques, supply base engagements, design commonality/reuse tools, and maturity models that drive Total Employee Engagement or TEE. This broad based engagement approach will show how we are all in it together to positively drive Mission Assurance. Raytheon's competitive advantage is in the commitment and values of its people, the results of Operational Excellence leverage this fact and they will be shown in great detail.

The results range from productivity savings to supplier alignment examples to standard work in design to innovative engagements with academia to elevated customer satisfaction levels and culminate in the Office of Naval Research recognition as an industry wide Best Practice.

Toyota Production System Raytheon Case Study Speaker: Kenneth Veduccio

Raytheon Company's approach towards driving operational excellence into the readiness equation is by utilizing the proven track record of real time information. This approach has quickly been extended to include a business wide, continuous improvement theme across many different operational functions and facilities. In each instance of extending this approach, the focus has been on achieving double digit ROI based on providing the Real Time, Decision Quality information that optimizes readiness and provides NoDoubttm mission assurance

The highest focus area of this approach is unleashing the competitiveness power of our people - Human Capital. This fact can be seen with our effort involving our represented employees called "Team Works".
Team Works is a virtual dashboard that was designed by and for the representative employees to give them the information they need to perform their jobs. This dashboard has become the most used VBS tool in the facility. It has fostered a strong sense of partnership between the representative work force and management. The representative employees have presented this work to Industry Experts and the concept has been recognized by ONR's Navy Best Practice team as worthy of the classification of Best Practice
