Air Force/Industry Manufacturing Cost Reduction Study.

Abstract

This report represents the input data assembled by some 70 participants of the Manufacturing Cost Reduction Study. This publication consists of the following reports: 1) Steering Committee Report, 2) Primary Aircraft Structures, 3) Secondary Aircraft Structures, 4) Nonrotating Engine Components and 5) Rotating Engine Components. It is felt that this study effort has provided a solid foundation or point of departure for future independent and/or cooperative cost reduction action of Government and Industry. During the course of the study, ideas, concerns, and awareness of problems were brought about which are bound to spawn cost reduction consciousness and action which will pay dividends. It is very important that this excellent start be followed-up by a continuing and concerted effort on the part of both Government and Industry.
