Cons:

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
