Expanding from Production to Project Management with TOC ESCO Turbine Technologies is a global network of companies and alliances that manufacture components including investment castings for the aerospace, industrial gas turbine, armament, micro-turbine, turbochargers and premium industrial market segments. Gray-Syracuse manufactures investment castings, utilizing super alloys cast in vacuum or air melt, for customers in the aerospace, industrial gas turbine and armament markets.
Gray-Syracuse is in its seventh year of ongoing improvement using TOC in the production environment. The impact of 9/11 on the aircraft industry made clear other significant improvements had to be made. As if that event wasn’t enough, the Enron collapse rippled through the industrial gas turbine supply chain. The constraint had very clearly moved to the market.
With its sights set on improving its new product development process, the company expanded into TOC Project Management in early 2003. Preliminary results since the TOC Quick StartSM training began include a 59% improvement in product development lead time and a near tripling of on-time project completion. This presentation explores the associated cultural challenges as they work to break with decades-old assumptions and further refine their TOCPM implementation.
