Identified Risks (risk identified by standard project risk management processes) | |
Description | Remedial Action |
There is a chance that the CH47F Mission and Support Systems will be affected by inadequate project management of the FMS case by the US Army leading to an impact on capability, cost, schedule and reputation. | Continued performance monitoring of US Army project management efforts by the in country ADF Project Liaison Officer. Increased overseas travel to enable greater level of direct interaction between ADF and US Army. Increased size of a Resident Project Team, co-located with US Army implementing organisation to provide further oversight (Business Case in approval phase). |
There is a chance that the Australian Military Type Certification will be affected by differences in US certification requirements leading to an impact on schedule. | Access to technical data and US Army Subject Matter Experts early to ensure any issues are identified and rectified in a timely manner. Continue engagement with other countries to leverage off their experience and certification efforts. Maintain configuration commonality with the US Army to prevent ADF unique certification efforts. Continue to engage ADF support agencies to ensure possible issues or testing requirements are identified early. |
There is a chance that the training plan will be impacted by limited availability and positions within the US Army's CH-47F Chinook training system leading to an impact on schedule. | Clearly define training requirements in the Project Training Plan. Early engagement with the US Army to secure training courses and positions. Frontload transition training to ADF instructors and supervisors to improve future opportunities for internal training and enable early development of ADF training packages. Obtain simulators and training materials necessary to minimise the requirement of dependency on the US Army for currency training. |
There is a chance that aircraft delivery will be affected by delays in aircraft production at Boeing leading to an impact on schedule. | Continued liaison with US Army on ADF delivery schedule and configuration requirements until US Army is on contract with Boeing and production slots are secured. |
There is a chance that the Australian Transportable Flight Proficiency Simulator (TFPS) accreditation will be affected by lack of prior US qualification / certification leading to an impact on schedule. | TFPS assessment by ADF Subject Matter Experts conducted January 2011. US Army has been contracted to develop TFPS Australian Visual Database which will meet Australian accreditation requirements. Development of TFPS Qualification Plan detailing accreditation requirements and schedule. |
There is a chance that the CH-47F embarked operations requirement will be affected by corrosion to the aircraft leading to an impact on performance and supportability. | Conduct detailed Logistic Support Analysis for embarked operations in order to identify requirements for: increased use of corrosion prevention maintenance activities, increased corrosion inspections to monitor the risk, and dehumidification rig and other Support & Test Equipment for use in embarked operations. |
There is a chance that the ongoing support of the ADF CH-47F will be affected by an inadequate transfer of technology and information leading to an impact on capability. | Risk treatments are complete but risk is retained in risk log for monitoring purposes. Residual risk low. |
There is a chance that the Australian unique Modifications will be affected by failure to achieve Service Release of the Engineering Change Proposal leading to an impact on schedule. | Risk treatments are complete but risk is retained in risk log for monitoring purposes. Residual risk low. |
There is a chance that the project budget will be affected by prime equipment costs exceeding those provided in the Letter of Acceptance leading to an impact on cost. | Risk treatments are complete but risk is retained in risk log for monitoring purposes. Residual risk low. |
There is a chance that the Australian unique modification program will be affected by cost increases in individual mods leading to an impact on cost. | Risk treatments are complete but risk is retained in risk log for monitoring purposes. Residual risk low. |
If the responsibility for managing Chinook Helicopter Capability Alignment Program is placed on the Chinook Helicopter Project Office, the schedule may be affected due to increased workload under current workforce defined in Workforce Definitions V5.0. | Risk treatments are complete but risk is retained in risk log for monitoring purposes. Residual risk low. |
