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.
