Abstract

The defence industry is facing a shrinking market and tough competition. Most defence contractors and manufacturers have realized that in order to survive in this market a new way of doing business is required. Initiating and planning changes is the focus of this paper, which describes a new methodology developed with the Israeli Military Industries. The methodology is designed to promote and initiate change in operations by de ning a well-structured approach to operational analysis and by supporting team work. The implementation of this new methodology in more than a dozen plants and several support organizations has demonstated its ability to promote and support the initiation of changes in an enterprise-wide process improvement project. The success of the change initation methodology highlighted the need for a similar approach for change implementation.
