names TOC Center to train Project Management Experts
We are very proud that NASA awarded the contract to
implement Critical Chain project management in the ASCAC Group, to The TOC
Center.
CHICAGO,
IL.―September
27, 2001―The
TOC Center, Inc. a leading provider of Critical Chain Project Management
solutions, announced today that NASA Langley Research Center has selected it
to provide training and implementation support for the deployment of the TOC
Critical Chain solution in NASA.
The TOC
Center will install critical chain software, educate and train NASA
personnel, and provide on-going consulting support over their next year to
ensure the successful migration to the critical chain project management
methodology. This disciplined project planning, scheduling and execution
solution is being deployed within the Aerospace Systems Concepts and
Analysis Competency (ASCAC) group based at NASA Langley Research Center in
Virginia.
"We are
honored to be the vendor of choice for the ASCAC at NASA Langley Research
Center," said Robert Fox, President of The TOC Center, "Particularly in the
light of NASA's reputation for setting extraordinary quality and expertise
requirements for its vendors."
"The
inability to deal with complexity, variability and resource contention in a
multi-project environment is the most significant cause for projects
failing. Adopting critical chain techniques will allow much improved project
control. I am also pleased that ASCAC recognized the inherent benefits
independent integrators such as The TOC Center offer."
Mr. Fox
pioneered the Theory of Constraints principles, which are the basis for the
critical chain methodology, with Dr. Eli Goldratt.
