QEI Exec Project Management Software
Case Study: BAE Systems
BAE Systems (formerly British Aerospace Regional Aircraft) is based at Woodford in Cheshire and manufactures the RJ series of regional jet airliners. A QEI customer for many years, BAE Systems has now integrated QEI Exec into its manufacturing systems to perform a variety of functions:
- Provide a single interactive model for build configuration
- Intershift progress control using boxcharts
- What-if modelling to assess demands caused by new orders
- Task list generation for MRP system
- Monitor improvements in cycle time (time taken to build an aircraft)
The following quotes from BAE Systems staff indicate the success of this approach:
"For the first time we are able to fully visualise what our staff are achieving on a shift by shift basis"
"Once we had built the QEI Exec model we could adjust the sequence of operations, significantly improving our assembly times - in some cases by up to 60%"
