DRCO Dynamics Research Corp. (MM)

Choice of DRC confirms its significant capability in Lean/Six Sigma methodology ANDOVER, Mass., March 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dynamics Research Corporation (NASDAQ:DRCO) announced today that it has been awarded a subcontract by Avraham Goldratt Institute (AGI) to support their newly awarded Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) contract. Under this five year ID/IQ, DRC anticipates generating between $5 million and $10 million in annual task order revenues. The contract provides for training in and implementation of Theory of Constraints and Lean/Six Sigma methodologies as applicable to the Naval Aviation Enterprise. "Enterprise AIRSpeed improves naval aviation's ability to efficiently repair and replenish critical assets needed to achieve operational readiness across the fleet," said DRC senior vice president and general manager, Jeanne LeFevre. "Theory of Constraints and Lean/Six Sigma methodologies are widely recognized as the most effective business improvement tools. By employing these methodologies, naval aviation will successfully position assets across the supply chain in a manner that ensures increased deployed and shore-based readiness, including expeditious reconstitution of forces, at reduced costs." DRC has extensive experience with teaching and leading Lean/Six Sigma workshops as well as applying these tools through the Office of Naval Research's and the Missile Defense Agency's Lean Pathways programs. Lean/Six Sigma employs continuous process improvement methodologies to maximize weapon system readiness while minimizing material flows and in-process inventories. Lean eliminates all types of waste, while Six Sigma optimizes process variation. Together Lean/Six Sigma and the overarching Theory of Constraints allow the AGI/DRC team to understand customer needs, collect the appropriate data about the processes, and identify the root causes of problems and inefficiencies to streamline operations. The end result is a more effective, lower cost approach that achieves cost-wise readiness.
