Best Manufacturing Practices. Report of Survey Conducted at Crane Army Ammunition Activity Crane, IN
Abstract
This report was produced by the Best Manufacturing Practices (BMP) Program, a unique industry and government cooperative technology transfer effort that improves the competitiveness of America's industrial base both here and abroad. Our main goal at BMP is to increase the quality, reliability, and maintainability of goods produced by American firms. The primary objective toward this goal is simple: to identify best practices, document them, and then encourage industry and government to share information about them. Crane Army Ammunition Activity is an installa- tion within the U.S. Army Industrial Operations Command, a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Materiel Command. The Activity is one of three government owned/government operated ammunition production facilities within the Department of Defense and was activated on October 1, 1977 in response to Department of Defense's implementation of the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition concept, which gave the Army the task of providing conventional ammunitioni production/storage services to all branches of the military. The Activity's mission is to produce and renovate conventional ammunition and ammunition-related components; perform manufacturing, engineering, and product assurance in support of production; and store, ship, and/or demilitarize and dispose of conventional ammunition and related items.
