Howitzer Ammunition System Procurement (HASP).

Abstract

The objective of the Howitzer Ammunition System Procurement study was to identify the advantages to the Government of using industry to perform the role of systems manager on munition development and production programs. Three major areas are covered: (1) Howitzer ammunition base readiness; (2) Total system cost and schedule; and (3) Total Quality Management (TQM). For each area, the contractor examined existing government and industry data, records and report findings to determine which procurement options were most viable in enhancing the ammunition base readiness, reducing total system cost, and improving TQM implementation on future howitzer ammunition programs. The contractor then compiled a set of conclusions and recommendations for implementing industry systems contracting on a more widespread basis.
