Delivering the Promise of NoDoubt™ Performance
Mission Assurance is at the heart of everything we do at Raytheon. By taking an integrated approach across the company, we have brought our Mission Assurance promise of NoDoubt performance to unprecedented levels. Doing so requires a continuous commitment from everyone across the enterprise — from employees on the factory floor to senior leaders of every business. We support this commitment with a broad range of proprietary tools and internal and external metrics. Among them:

Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI®): A set of standards established by the Software Engineering Institute to help organizations measure the effectiveness of internal processes. Our engineering community uses CMMI to enhance efficiency, reduce variability and ensure the same excellent standards of quality from project to project and location to location. Of the 34 engaged Raytheon sites, all are at a CMMI Level 3 rating, with a future goal set to reach CMMI Level 5 across the entire engineering function.

Raytheon Six Sigma (R6sigma®): An integrated, knowledge-based system that serves as the vehicle to increase productivity, grow the business and build a company culture that embraces all of these goals. R6sigma is directly aligned with the strategic goals of our company to impact areas critical to our success.
