NDIA Top 5 Systems Engineering Issues
(2006)
• Key systems engineering practices known to be effective are not
consistently applied across all phases of the program life cycle.
• Insufficient systems engineering is applied early in the program life cycle,
compromising the foundation for initial requirements and architecture
development.
• Requirements are not always well-managed, including the effective
translation from capabilities statements into executable requirements to
achieve successful acquisition programs.
• The quantity and quality of systems engineering expertise is insufficient
to meet the demands of the government and the defense industry.
• Collaborative environments, including SE tools, are inadequate to
effectively execute SE at the joint capability, system of systems (SoS),
and system levels.

Two Complimentary Approaches
to Process Improvement
Model-Driven (e.g., CMMI)
Data-Driven (e.g., Lean Six Sigma)
• Determine the industry best
practice
• Clarify what your customer
wants (Voice of Customer)
– Benchmarking, models
– Critical to Quality (CTQs)
• Compare your current practices to • Determine what your processes
the model
can do (Voice of Process)
– Appraisal, education
• Identify and prioritize
improvement opportunities
– Implementation
– Institutionalization
7
• Look for ways to optimize the
processes
– Statistical Process Control
• Identify and prioritize
improvement opportunities
– Causal analysis of data
• Anticipate your customers/
competitors (Voice of Business)
– Design for Six Sigma

What is the Capability Maturity Model
Integrated?
• The CMMI is a collection of industry best-practices for engineering,
services, acquisition, project management, support, and process
management
– Developed under the sponsorship of DoD
– Consistent with DoD and commercial standards
Three Constellations sharing common components and structure
• CMMI for Development - used by engineering organizations
• CMMI for Acquisition - used by buyers (e.g., govt. agencies)
• CMMI for Services - used by service providers (e.g., help desk)

What is Lean Six Sigma (LSS)?
• Lean Six Sigma is a
powerful approach to
improving the work we do
• LSS improvement projects
are performed by teams
• Teams use a set of tools
and techniques to
understand problems and
find solutions
16
+
• Lean Six Sigma integrates
tools and techniques from
two proven process
improvement methods
Six Sigma
• A management philosophy based on meeting business
objectives by reducing variation
– A disciplined, data-driven methodology for decision making and
process improvement
• To increase process performance, you have to decrease
variation
• Greater

Lean
• Series of tools and techniques refined by Toyota and called
the “Toyota Production System”
– Called “Lean” by Womack, Jones and Roos in The Machine That
Changed the World
• Focused on increasing efficiency by eliminating non-value
added process steps and wasteful practices
• Being adopted world-wide by both manufacturing and
transactional based organizations
• Utilizes tools like “Value Stream Mapping,” “Just in Time” and
“Kaizen”
LEAN FOCUS: ELIMINATE WASTE AND REDUCE CYCLE TIME

Organizational Adoption:
Roles & Responsibilities
• Champions – Facilitate the leadership,
implementation, and deployment
• Sponsors – Provide resources
• Process Owners – Responsible for
the processes being improved
• Master Black Belts – Serve as mentors for Black Belts
• Black Belts – Lead major Six Sigma projects
– Typically requires 4 weeks of training
• Green Belts – Lead minor Six Sigma teams, or serve on
improvement teams under a Black Belt
– Typically requires 2 weeks of training
23
A Typical Lean Six Sigma Project
in Aerospace
The organization notes that systems integration has been problematic
on past projects (budget/schedule overruns)
A Six Sigma team is formed to scope the problem, collect data from
past projects, and determine the root cause(s)
The team’s analysis of the historical data indicates that ineffective peer
reviews are leaving significant errors to be found in test
Procedures and criteria for better peer reviews are written, using best
practices from past projects
A pilot project uses the new peer review procedures and criteria, and
collects data to verify they solve the problem
The organization’s standard process and training is modified to
incorporate the procedures and criteria, to prevent similar problems on
future projects

how to improve our processes
We improve our process assets

Northrop Grumman Approach:
Lessons Learned
• Multiple improvement initiatives helps encourage a change in behavior as
opposed to “achieving a level”
– Reinforces that change (improvement) is a way of life
• Benefits results from institutionalizing local improvements across the
wider organization
– CMMI establishes the needed mechanisms
• CMMI and Lean Six Sigma compliment each other
– CMMI can yield behaviors without benefits
– Lean Six Sigma improvements based solely on data may miss innovative
improvements (assumes a local optimum)
• Training over half the staff as Lean Six Sigma Green Belts has resulted in
a change of language and culture
– Voice of Customer, data-driven decisions, causal analysis, etc.
– Better to understand/use tools in everyday work than to adopt the “religion”
