Best Manufacturing Practices Survey Conducted at ITT Defense Technology Corporation, Avionics Division, Clifton, New Jersey, September 1987

Abstract

The purpose of the Best Manufacturing Practices (BMP) review conducted at ITT Defense Technology Corporation, Avionics Division was to identify best practices, review manufacturing problems, and document the results. The intent is to extend the use of high technology equipment and processes throughout industry. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the U.S. industrial base, solve manufacturing problems, improve quality and reliability, and reduce the cost of defense systems. To accomplish this, a team of DOD engineers reviewed ITT Avionics (ITTAV) in Clifton, NJ to identify the most advanced manufacturing processes and techniques used in that facility. Manufacturing problems that had the potential of being industry wide problems were also reviewed and documented for further investigation in future BMP reviews. Demonstrated industry wide problems are submitted to the Navy's Electronics Manufacturing Productivity Facility (EMPF) for investigation and resolution.
