Report of Survey Conducted at Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas

Abstract

The Best Manufacturing Practices (BMP) team conducted a survey at Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. (BHTI) during 11-14 October 1988. The purpose of the survey was to review and document the best practices and potential industry- wide problems at BHTI. The intent of the BMP program is to use this documentation as the initial step in a voluntary technology sharing process among the industry. The team surveyed the BHTI facility in Fort Worth, Texas. These facilities produce several different helicopter models and are actively engaged in a teaming arrangement with Boeing - Vertol Division on the initial production of the V-22 TiltRotor airplane.
