Procurement strategy holds the key to project success

Article Abstract:

The completion of the air traffic control automation program at the UK's new en route center at Swanwick has suffered from delays anew as the opening was rescheduled to 2002, six years later than planned. Prime contractor Lockheed Martin has already reported cost overruns that exceed $100 million. The problem has been attributed to additional customer requiremnets and software problems.
