The Army Scientific Advisory Panel Ad Hoc Group for Product Improvement

Abstract

Product improvement provides a means by which better performance and extended life can be obtained from a system without investing in new development starts. The report defines three classes of product improvement and appropriate recommendations for each. Some of the management recommendations are pointed and strong, especially those with involvement of representation of users in the development process. The Panel believes that action in this area could do much to improve the product improvement process and the development of Army materiel in general.
