The Situation Global supplier of optical metrology instruments must deliver new innovative product to meet customer need under extremely tight time constraints. This new product uses 3D mapping to characterize a lens surface requiring a level of accuracy that had never been achieved before. Challenges • Conflicting approaches to development across international offices stalling the project • Product knowledge dispersed across global teams impeding effective communication • Highly customized and undocumented software framework requiring experience with complex algorithms • Lack of internal bandwidth causing significant delays to project schedule

Solution • Highly collaborative approach built consensus on development strategy among global teams • Deciphered highly-complex algorithms without documentation and implemented changes that improved speed and accuracy • Provided technical leadership on planning, definition, development, test and deployment processes

Proven Results • Successful full system test on the first attempt • Identification and correction of lens distortion down to the sub-nanometer level improved precision specifications by 8X • Product delivered on-time to meet very aggressive 10-month schedule
