摘要：Abstract This paper presents a project conducted at Bombardier Aerospace aimed at shortening span time and reducing duplicated effort during design. The current design processes were modeled at a high level of detail and analyzed for opportunities for improvement. After investigation of the critical paths and duplicated tasks, suggestions were proposed to add resources to critical tasks and to eliminate duplicated tasks by having only one department do them for all departments. Simulation of the suggested scenarios showed that span time could be reduced by more than 20% with almost no change in effort.
