Abstract
This Chapter is based on a document1 prepared for the Office of the Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) under the task order Defense Manufacturing Strategy and addresses a task objective, to provide a case study on integrated product/process development implementation. This case study will be used for acquisition and technology training purposes by the sponsor. Many of the incentives, strategies and implementation approaches at Ford have parallels in and implications for the acquisition processes of the Department of Defense (DoD). The DoD student is asked to draw conclusions based on his or her own situation.
