5 Performance Based Contracts present different risks, opportunities and complexities Background Company progressively moving into Performance Based Availability Contracts, E.g. ATTAC, Hawk LIF, Type 45, Radar Contracts etc Performance Based Contracts: Different risks and risks that increase with time Relationship between cost, revenue and performance not intuitive Different KPI s are required for Services Partnering & Supply Chain creates greater Commercial Complexity Therefore, in 2006 EC sponsored the development of our Business & Solution Modelling capability. Appropriate application of Analytical techniques is key to de-risking our proposals, winning Value Added business and optimising Through Life performance. 5

6 Risk Exposure Through-Life Risk Profile needs to be understood at the proposal submission stage First exposure to actual on base Operations Obsolescence or Latent Defect Upgrades Design Build Transition Through Life Support Risk increases with time on long term Support contracts 6

7 What is Business & Solution Modelling (B&SM)? Business Modelling = Cash flow, NPV, costs, risk Performance Solution Modelling = Solution Optimisation Revenue Cost B&SM = Integration to understand the relationship between cost, performance, risk and revenue and optimise Value for Money. Risk B&SM Analytical techniques are effectively Risk Reduction tools, as Predictive Analysis provides real insights into Cost, Performance and Risk enabling evidence based Decision Making 7

8 B&SM Benefits Informed decision making Enhance probability of Contract Award Reduce risk Save money Determine appropriate Metrics and KPIs Operate and Continuously Improve the business Greater agility - Faster decision making Decision Making Business Questions Analysis Modelling These analysis activities are applied to a project to firstly help determine the best solution and then to underpin its ongoing operation Informed Decision Making 8

9 The application of Business & Solution Modelling analytics enables us to optimise performance in support of our Customer goals.. In Through Life Delivery to: Improve predictability and forecasting of future performance against KPIs and so optimise business performance Reduce the level of Risk through improved decision making Optimised Operations and Continuous Improvement of the business and our solution/service offerings Greater Agility Faster Decision Making The Analytical B&SM Techniques developed are applicable to ALL Prospects and Contracts in all phases of the Life Cycle Tailoring to the specific Business Issues/requirements is key 9

10 Business & Solution Modelling provides Insight to understand & manage the business Past Present Future Information Traditional Approach What Happened? (Reporting) What is happening now? (Alerts) What will happen? (Extrapolation) Insight B&SM enabled How and why did it happen? (Modelling and Analysis) What s the next best action? (Recommendations) What s the best/worst that can happen? (Prediction, Optimisation, simulation) Reference: Analytics at Work by Davenport, Harris & Morison 10

13 B&SM encompasses a wide range of analysis and modelling techniques, E.g. Business Winning Solution Modelling Commercial & Financial Modelling Value Proposition Supply Chain Modelling Life Cycle Cost Modelling Solution Optimisation Inventory Optimisation Payment Mechanism Analysis KPI Analysis Process Modelling Value Analysis Trade Off studies Fleet Modelling Risk Modelling Sensitivity Analysis Operational Analysis Resource Modelling Logistics Modelling Project Commercial Finance Management Engineering Support 13

14 Strategic Analysis Value Proposition - End State Visualisation Enterprise Architecting, Modelling & Capability Analysis B&SM Planning Cost Modelling Revenue Analysis KPI & Value Analysis Incentives and Penalties Analysis Risk & Schedule Modelling (D&M Phase) Risk & Opportunity Analysis Operations Solution Optimisation We take a holistic approach to integrate the modelling and so optimise solutions Capability Decision Support Affordability, Operational Analysis B&SM Content of a Generic Proposal / Contract Modelling & Analysis Integration Business Modelling & Trade-off Analysis Solution Modelling & Performance Analysis E.g.: Fleet Processes Resources Maintenance Supply Chain Inventory Training Performance Requirements Facilities Infrastructure Data Management and Master Data Assumptions List (MDAL) Phase 0 Opportunity Analysis 1B Solution Design, Costing and Pricing 2A 14

15 Delivery of End to End Visibility and Integration BAE Systems has mapped, gathered and analysed data from the end to end supply chain giving us a unprecedented understanding of value and cost drivers Available Capability to generate military effect. this investment enables the prioritisation of those activities that have the largest impact on improved vehicle availability and reduced through life costs 15

16 Improvements targeted by BAE Systems Electronic labelling of goods will reduce receipting time by xx% per Km reduction of x% on repairables and x% on consumables (top 80% of items) Innovative approach to condition based monitoring for vehicle integrity to be reduce cost by xx% Available Capability to generate military effect Structured approach to obsolescence management with cost avoidance opportunities xx% fewer vehicles to be repaired at 4 th line xx% reduction in repair times in industry (top 80% of items) x% decrease in maintenance hrs Improve Fleet Planning and management will reduce the number of vehicle trans actions Reduced arising rates (improved reliability, top 80%) 16

17 Custom and Practice can inhibit optimisation 17

18 Efficiency can be significantly improved by investment in lean techniques 18

19 Design /Build Example output: Schedule Confidence 90% Confidence Without Risk With Risk Original completion date prior to Integrated analysis Risk Impact Figure Schedule Confidence with and with out risk These S Curves taken from a real BAE Systems programme. Points to Note: 1. Between the original completion date (Dec 07) and 90% confidence date, there was a 20 Million+ Liquidated damages clause. This clause was removed as a result of the analysis during negotiations 2. The impact of risk was clearly understood by all stakeholders 3. Management attention could be focused on opportunities to reduce risk and uncertainty 19

21 Example - Training Pipeline Simulation Where are the bottlenecks? What is the impact on costs? What percentage of graduates take over 2 years? How will asset utilisation change over time? 21

22 Facilities Optimisation Demonstration How many maintenance tracks are required? How many Ground support Test equipments are required? What will be the throughput rate? Where are the bottlenecks? What level of resourcing will be required?. 22

23 Value m Risks and opportunities can be quantified and ranked according to the impact on contract NPV, providing a means to focus and prioritise the achievement/mitigation of opportunities and risks. Significant risk lies within the challenges we have undertaken to meet the affordability targets By targeting areas of highest value, at a part level, we can focus Engineering and Procurement solutions that provide the greatest NPV benefit. 23

24 Number of Aircraft on Ground Days Value Based Modelling, linking operational activity to a value impact, highlighted the need to directly manage Aircraft on Ground (AOG) days and deliver optimum operational performance Expensive items which are the cause of AOG days should be subject to a cost benefit analysis to identify the optimal solution Potential Quick hit Low unit cost items which are causing a large number of Grounded Aircraft Days Years Demands Area = 25,000 Unit Cost 24

25 Number of AOG Days Analysis is critical to prioritising effort to reduce Aircraft on Ground Days In this Fast Jet example of the 2854 structures parts only 238 have caused AOG days in the past 2 years.. The top 20 parts causing 50% of the AOG days Part Number Rank 25
