Abstract

If there is a common goal among those that are in charge of business around the world today, it is the goal to reduce cost, cut overhead, and improve efficiencies. This common goal is not just a "good business" goal but is in fact a goal for survival brought on by the global competition brought to our doorsteps through technology such as the Internet. This workshop will walk the participants through the process that United Space Alliance (USA), NASAs prime contractor on the Shuttle Program, used to reduce cost and improve efficiencies utilizing the Supply-Chain Councils Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Model.
