Abstract
The army is not alone in its quest for producibility, reliability and affordability. Industry in general has the same concerns and is searching for producivity and total cost per part improvements. The economic situation since the late 1970Ts has significantly changed manufacturing management’s attitude toward change — especially the larger world class manufacturers like Saginaw Steering Gear, Garrett Turbine, Caterpillar Tractor — to not only be receptive to new processing methods but to be proactive in searching for them, providing engineering resources to work on them, and implementing them in their manufacturing procedures.
