BAEKEN'S contribution to Defense with Thales
Thales Group is a global leader in the development of defense technology, radar systems, and advanced maritime systems. At Thales Netherlands in Hengelo, the focus is on defense systems that are crucial for national security, including the innovative defense projects for the navy.
Why was BAEKEN needed?
The systems developed by Thales are technologically very complex and often in a research and development phase. This presents unique challenges. Additionally, the high-tech nature introduces significant technical and operational risks. To manage these risks and oversee planning in this dynamic environment, BAEKEN has been brought on board.
How did we approach this project?
-
Project structure
For the defense projects, I created a detailed structure for establishing the projects planning. I apply Earned Value Management (EVM) to this planning, which provides insights into progress in relation to planned costs and timelines. This allows us to respond proactively to potential delays or budget overruns.
-
Coordination and reporting
The successful coordination of this project is ensured through regular meetings of us with project teams and stakeholders. This allows us to quickly identify and resolve bottlenecks. Our monthly reports to management provide detailed insights into progress, costs, and risks, enabling timely strategic decisions based on current data.

More than just the defense projects
In addition to the shipbuilding projects, we are also working on other defense-related projects within Thales. Our contribution to the defense sector focuses on applying robust project management techniques such as EVM and risk management. This ensures that these critical projects are completed on time and within budget, which is essential for national security.
