Speakers: Doctor Neil Grant and Iain MacAulay Babcock Naval Services is a company which manages HMNB Clyde in partnership with the MoD. Partnering is an open, co-operative and interactive relationship between the MoD and industry aimed at bettering time, cost and performance parameters whilst identifying and implementing gain share opportunities. The Babcock Naval Service approach to achieving success is a combination of a four phase/10 year approach (which we will explain) and utilisation of tools and techniques from six sigma/Lean. This enables us to select only those projects that fit our framework and to utilize only the basic techniques from six sigma and Lean or anything else that is appropriate at this stage. We have inherited a culture that is not normally focused on making changes, so one of our basic tasks is to install an appreciation of measuring and we have adopted an industry standard balanced scorecard linked to our corporate objectives. |
