The Raytheon Enterprise Energy team achieved Raytheon's two-year goal to reduce energy consumption, decreasing total companywide energy consumption by 17 percent during 2006-2007, compared with a 2005 baseline adjusted for business impacts. It also avoided 104 million kWh in 2007, which is equivalent to 10,000 homes. Additionally, it obtained 11,500 "Change a Light" pledges in 2007, and continued the Energy Champion program, growing it to 1,500 participants. Raytheon saved $10 million in energy costs in 2007. Since energy constitutes 90 percent of the greenhouse gases emitted by Raytheon, the company is expected to meet a year early its goal of reducing greenhouse gases by 33 percent for each $1 billion in revenue. |

The Missile Systems (MS) Convergence with Corporate IPDS team led MS' adoption of the corporate IPDS architecture and layer content. All new MS programs and contract awards will use the new system for tailoring and program execution. The team reviewed and rewrote all of MS' method and enabler content and loaded the information into Raytheon's process asset library. The rewrite removed non-value-added methods, identified Lean processes to reflect best practices, identified gaps aligned with process requirements, and unified efforts that streamline activities and question bureaucracy. The team also filled the gap between information and user requirements with directive documentation aligned with requirements and shared across Raytheon's businesses. By using Raytheon's IPDS, MS infrastructure funds can be redirected to cost-saving projects to reduce time-executing processes. |
