Section South Management Consultation

The client for this project is what will be referred as Section South. Section South consists of an analytical team that provides analytical products to a customer with in a latest time of value. I currently work as a manager in another team that helps solicit these products and deliver these products to the customer. Section South works for Lockheed Martin.

The Lockheed Martin mission statement for this section is to provide the customer with fused analytical products to enable more precise decision making by managers/leaders in other organizations. Because these decisions are normally associated with a timeline, the ability to meet timelines is imperative. It is the management responsibility to ensure the staff is completing the necessary requirements in a time that will benefit the customers.

Because of the nature of the work environment there will be instances where the true names of the Sections are not identified. Section South consisted of a twenty-two person team, with four direct supervisor positions, and two manager positions. I currently work and communicate directly with the two managers and the four direct supervisors. I intend to look at the current requirements for that section and try and identify the root cause(s) of the production timeline challenges.

The product produced by our company is an analytical type of product that has to be produced in a timely manner to be of value. One of the primary goals of the company is to give an in depth analysis addressing a specific problem set in the customers latest time of value for the product. Section South within the organization has had challenges maintaining the production level to still meet the timeline requested by the customer. Looking at the problem I

identified multiple incidents, now the question is what the root cause of these instances is. First, a 3 Dimensional product was needed by the customer on 15 August. This product was not completed until 21 August. At this time it was no longer of value to the customer. The second incident was an analytical product that was needed by 13 September, but was not completed until 21 September. This represents only a small sample of timeline issues identified over the past 6 months. Because these incidents represent a problem with production it is important to now minimize any further impacts.

Products produced are Information Technology driven and all employees receive specific training to become proficient in the production process. This IT framed environment requires a large amount of resources to support the production. Each product is unique in design based on the customer’s request. The section currently has checks in place to ensure quality control of these products prior to delivery. The quality of the product to the customer is just as important as the timeline. Several questions were asked. So is there a problem with the quality control process that is limiting the employees or sections ability to complete the production in the time required. Is there a problem that is directly attributed to the communication between managers and subordinates? Is this attributed to the daily activities in the work place environment or management control of those activities? This can all be somewhat summed up with two words, the human dimension.

The question still exists as to the root cause of the problem. As the problem was explored several areas that may be the cause of these timeline challenges serviced. Communication among managers and employees seemed to be the biggest of the challenges. This was clearly identified based on employees not understanding expectations for products assigned to them for production. This also creates an
