  • Managing R&D activities to include ACTDs and JCTDs

  • Developing quality assurance programs

  • Formulating training plans for both operation and maintenance duties

  • Earned Value Management (EVM) accurately forecasting project performance

    • project plan that identifies work to be accomplished
    • valuation of planned work Planned Value (PV) or Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS)
    • pre-defined metrics to quantify the accomplishment of work e.g. Earned Value (EV) or Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP)

Strategic Planning

Auxilium International offers strategic planning services that lay the foundation for truly effective technology development and system integration. We ensure the organization's process of defining its strategy, direction, and decision making allocates its resources effectively and efficiently in pursuing the overarching strategy.

SWOT is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses/Limitations, Opportunities, and Threats involved at the project level and organizational level. It involves specifying the objective of the organization and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve that objective.

Strategic Planning involves establishing basic organizational constraints, along with the challenges to overcome and opportunities to pursue. Our specific services include:

  • Assessing both current and anticipated needs of the customer and prioritizing the external threats and challenges worth mitigating

  • Assess Strengths: characteristics of the business, or project team that give it an advantage over others

  • Assess Weaknesses (or Limitations): are characteristics that place the team at a disadvantage relative to others “Right person for the right job”

  • Assess Opportunities: external chances to improve performance (e.g. make greater profits) in the environment

  • Assess Threats: external elements in the environment that could cause trouble for the business or project

  • Performing contextual analysis of cultural, political, economic, and societal environments

Requirements Analysis

Concept development is important to all organization types and structures. Auxilium believe for an organization to grow from a product standpoint as well as a resource footprint, the organization must be able to discuss and entertain innovative ideas. This cannot happen without having requirements and a requirements analysis process.

Lifecycle Management encompasses those tasks that go into determining the needs and/or conditions that drive a new or altered product, taking account of the possibly conflicting requirements, and various stakeholders. This all begins with eliciting, analyzing, documenting, validating and managing requirements.

Auxilium International understands that concept development allows for broad and sometimes ill-defined ideas a chance to be examined by groups Subject Matter Experts (SME) that make up organizations and teams. These ideas can come from a variety of different sources: e.g. end user, program manager, systems engineer, contracts expert and many other disciplines that make up Integrated Product Teams (IPT)s.

These concepts do not just apply to programs or projects that are being acquired, but they can also dramatically improve/enhance organizational processes, and operational experience. When a compelling concept emerges, Auxilium International has experience in commencing the process that formulates physical requirements eventually evolving into a total system solution. To support concept development and requirements analysis Auxilium International offers specific services such as:

  • Conducting the How, Where, and What

    • How will the system accomplish its mission objective?
    • How are the various system components to be used?
    • How effective or efficient must the system be in performing its mission?
    • How long will the system be in use by the user?
    • Where will the system be used?
    • What are the critical system parameters to accomplish the mission?
    • What environments will the system be expected to operate in an effective manner?

  • Conducting market surveys to establish the range of available technologies while trade-off studies

  • Projecting long-term life-cycle costs

  • Translating operational and tactical performance gaps into system requirements

  • Technology roadmap development while identifying key technology transition windows

  • Performing risk management to include cost, schedule, and performance

BPI tools place a lot of emphasis on "measurable results". It’s important to establish process owners for any process to be controllable and is essential that there be clarity on who is the process owners are. Implementing BPM methodologies allows users to:

  • Vision - strategize functions and processes

  • Define - baseline the process or the process improvement

  • Model - simulate the change to the process

  • Analyze - compare the various simulations to determine an optimal improvement

  • Improve - select and implement the improvement

  • Control - deploy this implementation and by use of User defined dashboards monitor the improvement in real time and feed the performance information back into the simulation model in preparation for the next improvement iteration

  • Re-engineer - revamp the processes from scratch for better results
