Analysis of Hughes AM-1 Automatic Marking System.

Abstract

An analysis was made of the AM-1 Pattern Production System and its possible use/purchase to augment manual pattern production at ASD/ENEU. People consulted were the manufactorer, users, clothing designers, and pattern makers. While the AM-1 system offers a time saving in pattern production, the initial cost is high, and the maintenance costs and personnel costs associated with the purchase of the system make its purchase at this time prohibitive. Periodic reviews should be made to evaluate declining system costs and increasing pattern production schedules to determine if the purchase of the AM-1 System is warranted. (Author)
