Defense contractors and general manufacturers across the globe that are looking to improve overall design and management processes or upgrade their cybersecurity maturity level can do so with ease and efficiency – even during a pandemic.
ASELSAN MGEO, the largest defense electronics company in Turkey, was seeking to update the structure and management of its own internal processes to improve the efficiency and cybersecurity of all areas within the organization, including programs, engineering and quality departments.
Among the capabilities targeted for improvement were:
- Ensuring Quality
- Engineering & Development
- Selecting and Managing Suppliers
- Planning & Managing Work
- Managing Business Resilience
- Managing the Workforce
- Supporting Implementation
- Sustaining Habit & Persistence
- Improving Performance
ASELSAN MGEO partnered with ISACA and selected CMMI-DEV in 2011 as its process improvement guide. Upgrading from CMMI V1.3 to V2.0, along with furthering its digital transformation by using process architecture tools around business processes, has increased process fidelity and ease-of-use across the organization – all of which was completed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“With this journey, we built a culture of quality with the guidance of CMMI’s best practices. In recognition of CMMI’s valuable contribution to our processes, we achieved tool-based process management as well as the improvement of our well-structured processes. Quality improvement is a never-ending process for ASELSAN MGEO,” said Mustafa Kaval, Vice President and President of ASELSAN MGEO.
To learn how ASELSAN MGEO was able to increase the on-time ratio of planned improvement activities from 67 percent to 91 percent using CMMI V2.0, view the organization’s case study here.
