4.1  Major Project Risks

Identified Risk (risk identified by standard project risk management processes)

Description

Remedial Action

A number of factors have the potential to impact on the MHC cost, schedule and capability requirements. This includes:

•  A capped budget arrangement

•  MHC tender outcomes

•  Introduction into service (IIS) costs may increase

•  Supply of parts for new designs during and immediately after IIS

•  Maturity of platforms design and outcomes from testing and evaluation

•  Compliance with regulatory requirements

•  Delivery of equipment according with specifications

•  Introduction into service

•  Availability of required platforms and personnel for training

Remediation will be achieved primarily through negotiation with the preferred tenderers, where:

•  the basis of provisioning and individual vehicle capability will be refined to fit within the project cost cap.

•  IIS issues will be fully explored and quantified.

•  the degree of compliance and cost of compliance with regulatory requirements will be established.

The MHC project team is working with the CDG and Army to identify and quantify the training personnel that will be made available, with the final requirements to be determined by the basis of provisioning acquired.

A number of factors have the potential to impact on the TC cost, schedule and capability requirements. This includes:

•  Introduction into service (IIS) costs may increase

•  Contractor's management of spares may be compromised by delays in MILIS training.

•  Trailer may not meet air drop capability requirements.

•  Schedule delays due to prototypes not achieving Design Acceptance.

•  Test facilities may not be available to conduct complete range of trailer validation and verification testing.

The project is ensuring ongoing monitoring risk environments and performing ongoing liaison with all stakeholders to reduce risk likelihood, and in the event that risks do occur, that the impact is minimised and manageable.

A number of factors have the potential to impact on the LLC cost, schedule and capability requirements. This includes:

•  Introduction into service (IIS) costs may increase

•  Supply of parts for new designs during and immediately after IIS

•  Maturity of platforms design and outcomes from testing and evaluation

•  Compliance with regulatory requirements

•  Delivery of equipment according with specifications

•  Introduction into service

•  Availability of required platforms and personnel for training

• Integration of new capabilities

The LLC project team continue to work with the relevant stakeholders to initiate methods to minimise the effect and costs of these risks. These methods include:

•  minimising logistic transactions

•  constant interface with Army and Joint Logistic Units

•  constant interface with the Prime Contractor

•  involvement of subject matter experts

•  continual review of risks and issues
