Description

Remedial Action

Regulatory changes: there is a chance that the delivery of the LHDs will be affected by regulatory changes leading to performance, cost, schedule and supportability impacts.

■  Monitor closely and address changes at the Project Management Stakeholder Group.

■  Seek Contingency funding for changes. Seek waivers as necessary.

Requirements creep: there is a chance that the delivery of the LHDs will be affected by requirements creep leading to performance, cost, schedule and supportability impacts.

■  Rigorous change management control.

■  Defer changes to the Capability Enhancement Period post delivery of the ships.

Functionality of the Combat System: there is a chance that the delivery of the LHDs may be affected by the ability of the combat system to meet performance requirements.

■  Undertake a functional analysis of the system to identify potential deficiencies.

■  Conduct a rigorous evaluation of the technical solutions at Design Reviews.

■  Monitor Performance closely and address any changes to equipment or performance through the Project Management Steering Group.

Damage to Electric Propulsion Pods: there is chance that the delivery of the two LHDs may be affected by damage to the electric propulsion pods during installation and sea trials.

■  Assess the likelihood of damage to the pods during construction, set-to-work and initial operation; and assess the impact it may have on the schedule due to the availability of spares.

■  Develop a business case for the procurement of necessary spares, for consideration by the Project Management Steering Group.

Insufficient Funds for Integrated Logistics Support Training and Spares Procurement: there is a chance that the delivery of two LHDs may be affected by the cost of training and spares to support the LHD exceeding the allocated budget.

■  Refine the Support System Specification to ensure that it adequately specifies the support levels to be achieved.

■  Carefully scrutinise the Logistic Support Analysis that generates the training and spares recommendations to ensure that it cost effectively meets the specification

■  Resolve major scope and cost issues through the Project Management Stakeholders Group.
