Enterprise Modeling

Overview

Advanced Concepts and Technologies International, LLC (ACT I) key staff are expert in modeling enterprise systems, functional processes and methodologies. Our methodologies and modeling techniques are mature and provide the capability to:

• Better Understand Integrated Enterprise Processes and Operations
• Facilitate Corporate Planning, Budgeting, and Critical Investment Allocations
• Assess Business Bases, Indirect Cost Structures, and Financial Performance

Enterprise Models are being used by major corporations and government offices to fully understand the productivity, schedule and cost impacts of new systems, production facilities and processes. Our staff develops your model using your installed information system, normally requiring no additional investment in information technology.

We conduct analyses of alternatives, risk assessment and mitigation strategies, and perform sensitivity analyses associated with corporate operations. The models provide the capability to model/analyze process improvement concurrent with technology insertion.

Our staff has developed Enterprise Models for both Government and commercial clients including:

• For the Department of Defense (DoD), developed a model to support technical, performance and cost analyses for alternative light combat vehicles. The model and associated analyses confirmed the viability of the client’s acquisition planning. The model was expanded to permit analyses of comparative cost and schedule variances between remanufacture and manufacturing at a second source.
• For another DoD client, our staff modeled complete production processes and performed analyses for multiple tactical vehicle manufacturers. We quantified the relationships between production rates and costs and determined the minimum sustainable rate for each program. The models and analyses were effectively used to justify budget submissions, resource planning and programming and for “should cost” analyses and proposal evaluation and negotiations on follow-on procurements. The models and analyses were also provided to the manufacturers who have used them to optimize their internal operations and for production planning.
• We have constructed models and methods to assess major DoD/Fortune 500 corporations including Lockheed. Boeing, BAE, Northrop-Grumman, TRW, Pratt & Whitney, GE, and Rolls-Royce. Our assessments include evaluating business bases, indirect cost structures, long range financial health and risks, and the impacts of mergers and acquisitions on program financial performance. We have also supported fact finding and negotiations with these firms and DoD programs like F/A-22 and the Joint Strike Fighter.
