About this Presentation
Few projects are as complex as the construction of a nuclear aircraft carrier or submarine for the US Navy. This presentation describes a success story about the application of Critical Chain project management in structural projects to support new navy ship construction. Results achieved included a 3-fold improvement in project completion rates, a 50% reduction in labor hours and dramatic improvement in the lives of the front line leaders responsible for these projects.

The application of critical chain project management in ship construction led to a 300% increase in work completion and a significant reduction in man hours required.
Despite having the right materials and information, project management performance did not improve until changes were made to planning, scheduling, synchronizing, resource management, and execution.
The implementation of critical chain project management led to a $120 million added impact to the bottom line.
