Defence Guidance and Improvement

1: Submarine Dismantling BMT, in partnership with Nuvia, is providing ‘customer friend’ support to the UK MOD’s Submarine Dismantling Project. This aims to develop a solution for disposing of 27 defueled nuclear submarines over 60 years. Our experts are helping to develop a project management plan, project controls, risk management and technical assurance. 2: Royal Navy Submarines BMT supports the UK MOD’s submarine enterprise providing expertise in programme management, systems engineering, cost estimating and enterprise architecture. We have developed a complete cost strategy for projects and created a system linking the whole-life cost models to the financial management processes. 4: UK Defence Logistics BMT helped the Logistic Network Enabled Capability (Log NEC) programme to achieve its objective of streamlining complex defence logistics processes and systems into an effective, end-to-end, logistics support chain. Log NEC, which encompasses all the information capabilities that directly, or indirectly, influence the delivery of UK defence logistics, includes the Future Logistic Information Services (FLIS) project. It aimed to appoint a single delivery partner to transform defence logistics while sustaining existing logistics information services. Drawing on eight years’ experience in logistics information systems, BMT helped the client through the tendering and supplier selection process and established a governance model for future operations. This model was used as the benchmark for assessing the bids, giving our client a clear understanding of the services they could expect from their selected supplier. 3: Land Equipment Operating Centre (LE OC) – improving skills and resource planning BMT ran training courses for planners at the UK MOD’s LE OC to equip them with the skills needed to run an Enterprise Project Management solution and the Microsoft Project Enterprise toolkit that supports it. We also developed the land equipment ‘Simple Guide to Resource Management’ which features a step-by- step planning process to follow and a minimum planning standard for all land equipment schedules. As a result the LE OC’s planning, scheduling and resource management activities are more consistent and the resourced schedules can now be more effectively analysed.
