Overview: In 2001 Lockheed Martin was awarded the contract to design and build the new Joint Strike Force jet-fighter (F-35). The contract awarded was estimated at nineteen billion dollars ($19,000,000,000)! The point of interest to all resource management professionals regarding this award is the basis on which it was awarded. An information technology journal published the following:

“Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co.'s ability to share complex project information across an extended supply chain in real time was key in its recent win”

This executive overview presentation will focus on that ability. The
discussion outline:

• Company Background and Business Review
• The F-35 Program and the Supply Chain Challenges it Presents
• How Lockheed Martin Aero is Addressing these Challenges
• Wrap-up and Q&A
