FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Stottler Henke’s Aurora-CCPM Selected as Aviation Week Innovation Challenge Finalist
World Class Critical Chain Project Management Technology Included in
Aviation Week Innovation Challenge Shortlist
ORLANDO, Florida, October 25, 2011 -- Stottler Henke Associates (www.stottlerhenke.com)
was one of the top technology innovators from around the world that was selected as an Aviation
Week Innovation Challenge finalist. Stottler Henke’s Aurora-CCPM technology uses artificial
intelligence technology to create more efficient project schedules in combination with the Theory
of Constraints (TOC) Critical Chain project management methodology. Aurora-CCPM is the
most advanced project management software for project scheduling and execution.
"Aurora-CCPM’s multi-project critical chain capability, combined with Stottler Henke’s
underlying intelligent scheduling engine, has saved Boeing and NASA millions of dollars," says
Richard Stottler, president of Stottler Henke. "Aurora manages resource-constrained operations
more efficiently by generating schedules that are shorter than those provided by other project
management software," continues Stottler.
The Aviation Week Innovation Challenge Showcase, to be held on March 15-16 in Orlando,
Florida, www.aviationweek.com/events/current/innov, is designed to promote, encourage and
bring to the forefront the definitive work done by suppliers and deliver a better system of
connecting buyers and sellers to bring innovation to market faster and more efficiently.
Aurora-CCPM combines Aurora, Stottler Henke’s intelligent planning and scheduling system,
with the added power and flexibility of Multi-project Critical Chain Project Management.
Traditional scheduling methods usually allocate a safety margin to each task. This approach
wastes time due to bad multitasking, Student syndrome, Parkinson's Law and poorly
synchronized integration. The Critical Chain method avoids these problems by leveraging the
concept of aggregated risk to consolidate per-task safety margins into fewer aggregate safety
margins. By allocating safety times strategically, organizations achieve higher throughput. Aurora
intelligent scheduling technology enables Aurora-CCPM to apply the Critical Chain method to
complex projects that encompass thousands of heavily constrained tasks and hundreds of
different kinds of resources. Because Aurora remembers the reasons for its scheduling
decisions, it can adjust schedules intelligently when production requirements, resource
availabilities, and other conditions change.
Founded in 1988, Stottler Henke Associates, Inc. applies artificial intelligence and other
advanced software technologies to solve problems that defy solution using traditional
approaches. The company delivers intelligent software solutions for education and training,
planning and scheduling, knowledge management and discovery, decision support, and software
development.
In 2006, Stottler Henke was the subject of a NASA
"Hallmarks of Success"
video profile
for its work developing and later commercializing
advanced planning and training software systems.
Stottler Henke received a
2004 "Brandon Hall Excellence
in Learning" award
for innovative technology.
Stottler Henke was named one of the "top 100" companies making a significant impact on the military
training industry by Military Training Technology magazine for 2011 and seven previous years.
Stottler Henke has received a Blue
Ribbon from Military Training Technology magazine,
recognizing it as a company that leads the industry in innovation.
