Description

Remedial Action

Current major project issues fall within the following categories:

■  Technical performance short falls;

■  Schedule delays; and

■  Contract management.

Technical performance shortfalls arise due to some sub-systems not meeting contracted performance requirements.

Notwithstanding significant progress made in the acceptance test phase, schedule delays continue to be encountered.

Contract management issues relate to :

■  Schedule delays arising out of problems associated with subsystem maturity and stability and integrated system performance.

■  Finalisation of In Service Support Contract.

Engage and influence the prime contractor and major sub-contractors to maintain appropriate focus and commitment to deliver contracted performance to a credible and resourced schedule.

Adopt 'Incremental' delivery approach.Exercise contractual remedies.

Maintain engagement with the prime contractor to achieve alignment of in-service support with the delivery of the first aircraft and associated support equipment.
