Supporting Mission-Critical Aerospace & Defense Programs

Precision Program Scheduling for Mission-Critical Programs

Meridian provides precision program scheduling support for complex aerospace and national security programs. We develop and maintain integrated master schedules that give program leadership clear visibility into execution progress, schedule risk, and delivery confidence.

Supporting programs across government and commercial environments, including those operating under EVMS frameworks and DCMA scheduling guidelines

Our Expertise

Integrated Program Scheduling

We develop and maintain integrated program schedules that support disciplined execution of complex aerospace and national security programs. Our schedulers apply industry standards, EVMS alignment, and schedule analysis techniques to provide program leadership with actionable schedule insight.

Integrated Master Scheduling

Development of resource-loaded, logic-driven Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) that align program scope, resources, and execution planning within a unified baseline.

Schedule Development

Development of schedule structures including work breakdown structures (WBS), activity logic, sequencing, and duration estimation aligned with program execution planning.

Critical Path Analysis

Identification and management of critical and near-critical path activities to support proactive schedule management and execution discipline.

Schedule Analysis & Reporting

Schedule health assessments, variance analysis, and executive-level reporting that provide program leadership with clear visibility into schedule performance and execution risk.

Schedule Risk Assessment

Schedule risk analysis and Monte Carlo simulations to quantify delivery confidence, identify risk drivers, and support informed program decision-making.

Baseline Management

Establishment and maintenance of schedule baselines aligned with formal change control and program configuration management processes.

Schedule Compliance & Surveillance

DCMA 14-Point assessments, schedule health diagnostics, and corrective action support to maintain compliance with program scheduling standards.

Custom Schedule Analytics & Tooling

Development of tailored schedule analysis tools, automation, and reporting solutions to enhance program visibility and efficiency.
