Book excerpt: "In support of a DoD task force developing a strategic plan for the Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program, we surveyed 32 major acquisition program representing 39 percent of the expected value of defense procurements between FY94 and FY03. We identified procurement costs by manufacturing processes and support activities and also identified manufacturing technologies that are required for the production of these systems. Based on these observation, we recommand strategies for the future focus of ManTech investments. Manufacturing technology, ManTech, Procurement costs. ."--Stinet.

Download or read book Manufacturing Technology written by Commis Committee on the Role of the Manufacturing Technology Progra and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. defense industrial base is deteriorating. Long lead times to procure weapon systems, high costs, uncertain quality, and dependence on procurement of electronic components from other countries are symptoms of a decline in the capability of the U.S. defense industrial base. A primary cause of this decline is the failure of the Department of Defense (DOD) and its contractors in the U.S. defense industry to invest sufficiently in manufacturing technology. The lack of investment reflects DOD's history of concentrating its resources and attention on product technology rather than process technology. As we described in our initial report, The Role of the Department of Defense in Supporting Manufacturing Technology Development, existing procurement policies and regulations do not provide sufficient investment incentives to contractors. Therefore, direct funding for some manufacturing technology development will have to be provided by DOD.

This book was released on 1999-02-25 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Cold War, the evolving mission of the U.S. Armed Services, the dramatic improvements in commercial manufacturingâ€"these and other trends are changing how we provide for the common defense. What will we need in the way of defense manufacturing in the year 2010â€"a short few years away? How should we best spend our defense funds? Defense Manufacturing in 2010 and Beyond sets forth a vision for the nation's defense manufacturing, including policies, technologies, systems, processes, practices, and financial implications. Eight specific trends are forecastâ€"defense spending, the relationship between defense and commerical industries, the nature of the threat to our nation, the emergence of new technologies, and other areasâ€"and their implications for defense manufacturing are explored. The committee describes manufacturing advancements that are around the cornerâ€"virtual enterprise, and moreâ€"and examines how these breakthroughs will likely meet or fail to meet defense manufacturing requirements. This expert panel identifies the highest priorities and recommends strategies for matching future manufacturing capabilities with our defense needs. February

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the Department of Defense's (DOD) Manufacturing Technology Program is to develop or improve manufacturing processes, techniques, materials, and equipment to provide timely, reliable, and economical production of defense materiel. The Manufacturing Technology Program has the potential for reducing costs of producing defense systems by applying new or improved technologies. Much needs to be done to determine systematically what benefits are achieved from the annual expenditure of program funds. The Manufacturing Technology Program has weak controls. Managers were not aware of how well the program was working and lacked specific information on program benefits or results. DOD criteria for funding projects were broadly and generally interpreted and did not focus specifically on the program's primary goals. DOD did not have a consistent project ranking system applicable to all services to assure that funds were allocated only to the most beneficial projects. DOD was unable to readily provide basic program data on completed projects and projects implemented into production. The implementing instructions of the Army, Navy, and Air Force contained many procedures and requirements that were neither complied with nor enforced. DOD had not developed a system to periodically evaluate the program's effectiveness. There have been many completed Manufacturing Technology projects that have never been implemented, yet very little had been done to actively promote, track, or document the implementation of project results into defense contracts.

High technology performance and economic productivity are converging across the major developed regions of North America, East Asia, and Europe. If U.S. economic, military, and political leadership is to continue, it must depend more on flexible adaptation to the new technical and organizational realities and less on technological dominance. The heart of this adaptation lies in the evolution of a national technology policy that emphasizes market forces and the exploitation of network linkages within and among commercial and military organizations.
