PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
MSD Engineering has developed an integrated team approach to the Consent Decree (CD) Program
Implementation. The integrated approach started long before the actual CD was approved. In 2008 MSD
Engineering Planning established its Program Planning platform based on the team concept and organization
hierarchy. That has been used as the model as different teams have been brought on to address the three
major facets of the CD: Program Planning; Capacity, Management, Operations, and Maintenance (CMOM)
Program, and Program Delivery. Below are brief descriptions of the roles related to this Program
