MITRE's Schedule Exchange Engine (SEE) bi-directionally integrates program plans, built using Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), with corresponding program schedules. SEE software automatically maintains a highly cohesive, loosely coupled relationship between the visual BPMN program workflow models and the related program Integrated Master Schedule.
SEE integration enables agility in program planning and program outcomes optimization throughout the program execution using BPMN queuing and stochastic simulation with inexpensive commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) tools. MITRE’s patent pending SEE technology automates the synthesis of time based scheduling using a time and resource-loaded workflow model.
Applications
Several U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) MITRE sponsors are early SEE adopters for complex programs with the following attributes:
- Multiyear program period of performance Includes several interrelated projects with critical dependencies
- High degree of uncertainty throughout the program life cycle
- Constantly evolving internal and external program constraints
Benefits
SEE enables efficient and effective management of complex program and/or portfolios via:
- Rapid development of initial plans through the use of standard acquisition workflow templates
- Improved high-level representation and visualization of program dependencies
- Program plan probabilistic optimization for schedule, cost, resource, quality, and other interrelated constraints
- Continued use of Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling tools for monitoring and controlling program execution performance via common performance analysis metrics and techniques such as earned value and variance analysis
- Optimized re-planning that accounts for validated schedule progress information.
