ARK OUTCOMES

Challenge

A critical missile program wanted to assess which parts in their portfolio were most likely to cause production delays or other operational disruptions.

Solution

Ark assessed more than 6,000 suppliers and 80,000 parts across risk vectors including sole-source challenges, supplier financial health, and program criticality.

Impact

With Ark, the missile program office pinpointed the 17 vendors and 15 parts that were predicted to present the most risk to production, and developed courses of action to correct them.
