ARK OUTCOMES

Challenge

A critical missile program needed to identify which parts in their extensive portfolio were most likely to cause production delays or operational disruptions. This task was complex due to the vast number of components and suppliers involved.

Solution

Ark's Production Application provided comprehensive visibility into the program's manufacturing ecosystem. The platform assessed over 6,000 suppliers and 80,000 parts, evaluating critical risk vectors including sole-source vulnerabilities, supplier financial health, and program criticality.

Impact

With Ark, the missile program office identified 17 high-risk vendors and 15 critical parts predicted to present the highest risk to production timelines. This insight enabled the team to swiftly develop and implement targeted mitigation strategies, ensuring manufacturing continuity and operational readiness.
