Early Actions Improvement
Assigned terminal oriented team
Broadened team to involve airfield team, aviation
planning, procurement, and fire team
Focused on initial urgency to house firefighters in
remodeled rooms
Took time to understand all constraints, then designed
for all aspect for long term
Selected modular design
Latest competitive process allowed consideration of all
constraints, cost, and schedule to meet firefighter needs
End users at arms length
Firefighter end users deeply involved with all aspects
Forecasted cost and schedule too early
Once all long term design issues identified, then cost and
schedules became reliable
Small team
All our improvement lessons are available, we share with
all teams
