This book was released on 1981-02-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air force sponsorship of manufacturing technology projects is often based on the hope that the results will not only benefit the original contractors, but also will be transferred to other Air Force contractors. While some innovations are readily adopted, others are rejected for a variety of reasons. An understanding of those reasons and the process by which investment decisions are made will enable the Air Force to establish policies and procedures to enhance the likelihood of successful technology transfer to its competitors. As manufacturing systems become more complex and more integrated, transfers of hardware/software combinations will be increasingly common. Innovation and Transfer of the U.S. Air Force Manufacturing Technology examines three instances involving manufacturing research and development projects completed under contract to the Air Force to explain why attempted transfers of military sponsored manufacturing technology succeed or fail. The report presents a model based on these three case studies which describes the decision-making process used by potential adopters of innovations. Based on the case studies, Innovation and Transfer of the U.S. Air Force Manufacturing Technology suggests that more attention be directed towards the characteristics of the technologies, as well as to the aspects of transferring organizations. It proposes changes in contracting procedures to increase the diffusion of such technology and recommends that one or more case studies be conducted on the transfer of manufacturing systems that involve such hardware/software combinations.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Air Force Research Laboratory Materials and Manufacturing Directorate project has achieved breakthrough reductions in the cost, schedule and weight of composite airframe manufacturing. Developed as part of the "Composites Affordability Initiative" (CAI), these revolutionary design and manufacturing processes used in a demonstration of a forward center fuselage structure reduced the number of parts by 75 percent, and reduced the number of fasteners by 90 percent. The resulting cost avoidance is estimated to be as high as $ 1.2 million per unit. The project also reduced tooling by 50 percent and flow time by 75 percent.

Download or read book U S Air Force Orientation Guide to Advanced Manufacturing Developed by the Consortium for Advanced Management International Cam I an Intern Resea written by Michael G. Bindner M. P. a. and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research project is to describe the factory of the future as projected by the Cost Management System (CMS) developed by the Consortium for Advanced Management International (CAM-I), formerly Computer-Aided Manufacturing -- International, Inc., and its sponsors. The project will also address the implications the system has on Cost Improvement Curve Theory, Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria, and the movement toward Total Quality, which have now evolved into Earned Value Management. This project was completed before the new terminology was adopted, although the same principles will still apply. I produced this project because at the time I was the Air Force representative to CAM-I, had been the Comptroller Representative and had a hand in editing and discussing Cost Accounting for Today's Advanced Manufacturing, the CAM-I/CMS Conceptual Design, which is the precursor to Activity Accounting.The project begins with a brief history of the CMS, addressing the four phases of the effort...The second chapter discusses the factory of the future and Cost Improvement Curve Theory. It is divided into two sections. The factory of the future will be described using the generic activities found in the CMS Engineering/Manufacturing Functional Model. These activities are applied to the five manufacturing environments using the Manufacturing Processes Profile.The discussion on Cost Improvement Curve Theory presents two viewpoints on the causes of learning, describing how learning might occur in each of the manufacturing environments.The third chapter addresses CMS Cost Information features. It contains five sections. In the first four sections a different part of a company's cost information system will be described. The four parts are life cycle cost management, activity accounting, factory floor information and cost and performance measurement. In each of these sections CMS concepts are discussed, the CAM-I System Design Module is described and application of the Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria (Earned Value Management) is discussed. The last section summarizes Criteria (EVM) application.The fourth chapter addresses the CMS and quality. It contains two sections. The first section describes CMS tools which relate to quality. These are Activity Accounting, the Quality Function, Quality Management and Investment Management. The second section describes the CMS role in change, both rule and cultural.Appendix One is the C/SCSC Checklist, as applied to the CMS. Note that some updating may be required to update to EVM protocols. It should still be useful as a cross check to criteria application between the various modules. Appendix Two is a copy of the project briefing.The project utilized the CMS¬ Conceptual Design and the CMS System Design deliverables rather heavily. This was necessary because of the nature of the project as a description and discussion of these sources. For ease of reading quotation marks and indention are omitted. Suffice it to say that much of the-description found in this project is lifted directly from the data sources (especially some of the charts). These sources, as well as the government publications utilized, are listed in Appendix Tree.This project is a useful a primer on the automated factory of the future and on the CAM-I CMS. The CMS will likely be the industry standard in cost estimation, planning and control. The discussion found in Chapter 3 will aid Demonstration/Review Teams in validating contractor Earned Value systems which utilize a CMS. Benefits from participation in the CMS are greater visibility of technology improvement costs now buried in overhead, more accurate product cost, elimination of waste through tracking of non-value added cost provided through activity accounting, awareness)of change in defense contractor systems and the "state of the art" and greater defense contractor participation in the CMS effort.

This book was released on 2012-05-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supply chains for electronic products are primarily driven by consumer electronics. Every year new mobile phones, computers and gaming consoles are introduced, driving the continued applicability of Moore's law. The semiconductor manufacturing industry is highly dynamic and releases new, better and cheaper products day by day. But what happens to long-field life products like airplanes or ships, which need the same components for decades? How do electronic and also non-electronic systems that need to be manufactured and supported of decades manage to continue operation using parts that were available for a few years at most? This book attempts to answer these questions. This is the only book on the market that covers obsolescence forecasting methodologies, including forecasting tactics for hardware and software that enable cost-effective proactive product life-cycle management. This book describes how to implement a comprehensive obsolescence management system within diverse companies. Strategies to the Prediction, Mitigation and Management of Product Obsolescence is a must-have work for all professionals in product/project management, sustainment engineering and purchasing.
