MCKINNEY, Texas, June 5, 2007 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company's (NYSE:
RTN) Network Centric Systems has attained a multi-site Capability Maturity
Model Integration(R) (CMMI) Level 5 rating for systems, software and
hardware engineering.
CMMI is a process-improvement approach that provides organizations with
the essential elements of effectively managing quality while controlling
risk. It can be used to guide process improvement across a project, a
division or an entire organization. CMMI helps integrate traditionally
separate organizational functions, sets process-improvement goals and
priorities and provides a point of reference for appraising current
processes.
The five maturity levels of the CMMI models indicate stages of
progressive development in an area. The Level 5 rating, highest of the
five, validates NCS' ability to apply a disciplined, flexible engineering
process across a broad range of programs.
"We have created a team that can rapidly move work to wherever the
engineering expertise exists," said Colin Schottlaender, president of
Network Centric Systems. "With our common process architecture, we can
design, build and support our customers from any one of our sites with a
consistent level of performance that delivers predictable, innovative and
cost effective solutions."
NCS locations recognized in the appraisal included: Marlborough, Mass.,
Fort Wayne, Ind., St. Petersburg, Fla., McKinney, Texas, and Fullerton,
Calif.
