Northrop Grumman
What Are Your Challenges?
Already recognized as the 4th largest defense contractor, Northrop Grumman appears poised to continue their trajectory of growth. The Defense
Department has recently awarded contracts to Northrop Grumman for several long-term programs including a new stealth bomber and a new intercontinental ballistic missile. As a result, the company is actively recruiting to scale up to meet this new demand, and they are in critical need of engineers and those with operational experience in advanced manufacturing.
While such growth for Northrop Grumman is, no doubt, positive, scaling up a workforce, expanding operations, and accounting for logistics needs are only a few of the challenges to contend with on top of the reoccurring problems teams at Northrop Grumman deal with daily. Among these are:
- Supply Chain Complexity created by limited visibility in seeing the true reality of entire extended supplier network in terms of capacity and material availability
- Line of Balance Analysis that allows clear visibility into supply chain alignment and unit delivery in order to monitor the predictability of delivery and revenue
- Engineering Changes being managed in multiple systems which then makes it difficult to determine the impact of such changes on the supply chain
- Forecast Adjustments due to schedule changes that become extremely time consuming when trying to accurately predict resulting outcomes
- Product Complexity created by part variations or engineering change orders that complicate managing bills of material (BOMs) for multiple programs
- Supplier Performance without benchmarking that makes measuring supplier performance difficult especially under Indirect Spend categories
For operations, procurement, and engineering teams at Northrop Grumman, working with the right supply partner can do much to alleviate the stress associated with these challenges.
