Case Study:
Defence Aviation Repair Agency (DARA)
DARA is a business in the middle of unprecedented change within an industry that
has seen extraordinary volatility in recent years.
DARA’s challenge was to move from being a government agency to a fully competitive commercial organisation and sought partnership with Capgemini via a multi million Euro engagement.
Capgemini is re-engineering DARA’s business processes to incorporate a full redesign of commercial, planning, production, materials management, finance, new service provision and data management. Thirty consultants working collaboratively with the client achieved a seamless transition from legacy status to re-engineered business
Major performance gains are already a reality. These include reduction in time taken to undertake full maintenance of a VC10 tanker aircraft from 180 days to 95 days, and servicing Sea King helicopter engines from 185 to 57 days.
