28 summer 2003 Distinguished Level Awards Ceremony On May 20, 2003, Raytheon’s highest quality honor was bestowed upon five individuals and ten teams from across Raytheon’s businesses. Awardees and their guests gathered at the Marriott hotel in Burlington, Mass. to celebrate their accomplishments with key Raytheon leadership figures. Dan Burnham, Raytheon chairman and former CEO, and Bill Swanson, president, who succeeded Mr. Burnham as CEO July 1, hosted the evening. After a cocktail reception in the foyer, the evening’s emcee, Pat Coulter, vice president of communications, Government & Defense, welcomed everyone to the ceremony. Greg Shelton, vice president of engineering, technology, quality and manufacturing, opened the evening by stating, “One of the big things that I think is important tonight is we’re honoring the big “Q” — the quality beyond just the quality organization, it’s really honoring quality across our company. Raytheon Six Sigma has been a rallying point for this company for the past 5 years. As you know, we’re also incorporating CMMI to drive higher levels of achievement in the process control and disciplines of execution across our programs. We’re using IPDS to drive program management, engineering, supply chain, quality, and operations. Many of you receiving the quality award tonight have used Six Sigma in your processes. Excellence through Six Sigma has become a culture here at Raytheon.” Gerry Zimmerman, vice president of corporate quality, presented the first 2002 Quality Excellence Award to Dan Burnham, and stated, “For leading the Raytheon Six Sigma cultural revolution, for relentless pursuit of excellence, and for motivating all of us to look in the mirror, and not look up, Dan, I’d like to present you with our first 2002 Quality Excellence Award.” Burnham graciously accepted the award, and began his moving keynote address. “Quality is indivisible, it’s key to everything that we do. Sure, Six Sigma is quality and I’m a Six Sigma guy, but there’s nothing antithetical between quality and six sigma — they are two peas in a pod. And I’m talking about quality with that big “Q”. “What do we want to do next? What we want next is for the quality organization to be an organization of power, an organization that’s defining excellence for us. Excellence that we can see, that we can measure, and that we can assess.” “What a great opportunity (for) those of you in the quality departments — you have a huge opportunity to drive this company forward. Take full advantage of it. We need to continue to develop this culture of quality — not just a set of data but a whole culture that engages and energizes every single part of the business. Every aspect of the way that we anticipate and respond to the customers’ needs — it’s all part of this seamless web.” “We take responsibility — we know that this isn’t just a business we’re in; we are a national treasure. We’re a national asset. We make our country a better place to live. We have a huge responsibility in this wonderful institution called Raytheon.” “You’ve put the customers and your teams first, sometimes requiring a lot of sacrifice on your part. And you’ve worked as One Company, leveraging all of our strengths, providing
superior solutions to our customers. Quality solutions, quality processes, quality people, reduced costs, increased producibility, improved customer relationships — all of this is quality with a big “Q”. It is our whole raison d’être; it’s our reason for being here. The kind of quality that you’re being recognized for is teachable, it’s replicable, it’s sustainable, and it’s expandable. You’re going to have an obligation to teach, and to show, not to pontificate, but to be Raytheon’s quality leaders, our teachers, and our mentors. What a wonderful role for you to be in! But what an obligation as well. We are going to be a company that all the others aspire to be. Thank you to each and every one of you.” Dan Burnham’s address was well received by everyone in attendance. Following the awards presentation, several awardees commented on the ceremony and thanked the leadership team for bringing them together. As Sandy Kukurba from Raytheon Missile Systems (RMS) said, “I thought the event was just incredible; to be able to be in the same room with the executive leadership team and Dan Burnham and Bill Swanson — it just shows how much quality means to the company.” Additionally, Matt Kehret, also from RMS, said, “It’s really great to see that Raytheon is so interested in quality and is dedicated to making sure that their employees are committed to quality.” – Siobhan Lopez 2002 QUALITY EXCELLENCE DISTINGUISHED AWARD WINNERS Integrated Defense Systems Michael R.
