Case Studies on using CCPM

Over 200 of the world's leading companies already apply Critical Chain methods to their projects. For example:

Lucent Technologies

On-time performance through use of CCPM has increased to 90%+

Harris Semiconductor

Applied CCPM for building a new computer chip fabrication plant.

Plant will generates $1 million in revenue PER DAY.

All product from new plant had to be tested extensively by customers and approved before full production started.

There would be no gains if they went fast and sacrificed quality.

The plant was completed and had certified product quality acceptance 34 MONTHS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.

($1 million per day) X (34 months) X (30.42 days/month) = $1.03 billion in additional revenue

ESCO Corporation

Is completing a conversion project traditionally scheduled at 12 months, but on-track for completion in 9 months

Tellabs

Saturn, Div. of General Motors

Habitat for Humanity, New Zealand

80 people participated in a new world record when CCPM scheduling allowed them to build a 4 bedroom house in 3 hrs, 45 minutes (complete with working plumbing, decorated & painted walls, lawn seeded, picket fence, mailbox, etc.)

MicroPump

TimePlex Group

Edwards Air Force Base, U.S. Airforce

Lord Corporation/Mechanical Products Division, Information Services Group

Traditionally, projects were 55% longer than estimated. After CCPM implementation, they achieved:

90%+ on-time performance

60% capacity increase

50% reduction in project durations
