MAKE OF BUY PROGRAM. M57A-1 STAGE III MINUTEMAN MOTOR

Abstract

Outlined is the Hercules Powder Company Make or Buy Program. Make or Buy decisions are arrived at after a comprehensive review and evaluation by management of all known factors. Initially, decisions to make are formed upon the factors of facilities, manufacturing knowhow, adaptability, etc. After formulating a decision of make from these factors, studies are then con ducted into the areas of unit cost, transportation, management control, etc., the result of which confirms or changes the make decision. Unit cost consideration is based and weighted upon detailed, comprehensive cost analyses of both in- house manufacture and vendor furnished costs. Hercules basis for vendor selection is predicated on an initial Vendor Survey followed by successful contractual performance in areas of quality, capability, delivery and final qualification of the product to prescribed standards using various reliability techniques.
