Entry - Departure of the Contract Review Process
Bob Coker , CEO/President
ACETD, LLC, (Advanced Concept Engineering Test and Design)

ABSTRACT

Today's turbulent and competitive business climate especially in the Aviation industry doesn’t allow much margin for error. Every obstacle must be avoided and not hurdled later; the best way to accomplish this is to have a well organized system in place. With the Contract Review Process all the appropriate personnel and disciplines must be readily available to analyze and voice their opinion even for a minor technicality so disaster doesn’t take place that still could quite possibly hold a company contractually obligated. Comprehending and educating ones’ self towards specific customer’s requirements to meet their demands upfront can save lots of frustration and allow profit margin.

Within this presentation, lessons learned will be gladly shared so the painful pitfalls witnessed and/or experienced during my professional career are not explored by others. Carefully defining the Contract Review Process and remaining true to the cause will allow solvent, strategic business relationships with the realm of repeat - new business opportunity.
