Robust Systems and Strategy

The World Business Council for Substainable Development (WBCSD) contracted RSS to create a global simulation model to compute how virtual decision makers in the building sector will or will not adopt radical technology and materials to decrease energy consumption.  For the first time ever, the WBCSD thereby developed a realistic roadmap of what policies and actions are needed to achieve a carbon stablized building sector.  

The READI framework is a method for determining the uncertainty and corrective action plans for key decisions.  Rather than just making decisions based on limited data, the READI framework ensures key decisions are informed on the sources and degree of uncertainty and the capability of different corrective actions. 

Modeling and Analysis offers the ability to quickly and effectively optimize your design.  Design for Six Sigma is a key enable for both quickly ensuring the robustness and quality of your product.  RSS has the unique expertise on assessing model capabilities, how to use models to predict likely uncertainty and upcoming design changes, and how to define plans which can rapidly absorb and accomodate this uncertainty. 

What are the specific problems preventing your company from delivering highly reliable new technology products quickly?  Where should you invest process improvement resources?  With our PERFORM framework, in as little as 3 days we can assess R&D capability maturity, strengths and weaknesses and tell you both what projects you are currently capable of undertaking and what action plans will increase this capability.
