safety collision system challenges solved — under budget and ahead of schedule.

challenge

Our client, the aerospace arm of a diversified technology manufacturer, lacked the necessary bandwidth to conduct script testing for their traffic alert collision avoidance system (TCAS). This was a particularly urgent business concern for the client because their delivery deadline was fast approaching. With safety and bottom-line performance both in jeopardy, the client turned to Randstad Engineering Solutions as a trusted strategic partner.

solution

Randstad Engineering Solutions immediately got to work developing a best-in-class solution to address all of the client’s critical pain points. Specifically, our solution included:

• deploying a dedicated project manager as well as engineering teams onsite to ensure successful execution
• project performance tracking using earned value measurements
• designing a customized API to expedite and improve the development of test scripts

outcome

Our solutions led to immediate progress and measurable outcomes — so much so, in fact, that the initial project scope was quickly expanded. Key highlights of the overall engagement included:

• successfully completing the project — while also expanding its scope, based on the client’s needs — under budget and ahead of schedule
• curbing execution time by as much as 90 percent through the introduction of automated test procedures
• reduced debug time by more than 50 percent with the development of an automated tool to allow for configurable tests in batch mode
• established ability to debug and execute scripts remotely
• created efficiencies by working directly with test equipment manufacturer
