Quality Horizons. Volume I.

Abstract

The Quality Horizons' Study was initiated by General Alton D. Slay, Commander, Air Force Systems Command, by letter dated 22 November 1978. The thrust of the study effort was to determine ways to enhance product quality in the operating environment. Study objectives were to evaluate the AFSC approach to quality assurance and identify changes with potential to: (1) improve end item quality in field use; (2) make contractors more responsible for their products; (3) make more effective use of resources; and (4) apply appropriate commercial practices.
