Report of Survey Conducted at Litton Systems Inc., Amecom Division, College Park, Maryland

Abstract

The purpose of the Best Manufacturing Practices (BMP) survey conducted at Litton, Amecom Division was to identify best practices, review manufacturing problems, and document the results. The intent is to extend the use of progressive management techniques as well as 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 Navy engineers supported by a representative of the Army accepted an invitation from Litton Amecom to review the most advanced manufacturing processes and techniques used in their facilities located in College Park, Maryland. Manufacturing problems that had the potential of being industry-wide problems were also reviewed and documented for further investigation in future BMP surveys.
