Bombardier Aerospace
Develop a new aircraft
It will take 4 years to design, make, fly and certify the C-series. Question: How can it be done in 3 years?
QUESTIONS
How can we compress the process? x focus on information transfers How can we move information faster? x detailed design of process where key information transfers are identified and expedited How can we coordinate the scheduling of work and the transfer of information? x synchronize work across all players (groups inside Bombardier and partners)
INFORMATION CAPTURE
Information capture based on the Input-Process-Output (IPO) logic. The high level task is broken down to its nascent form. The input and outputs to the tasks are deliverables. Deliverables are categorised based their content. Data flow Information flow
