Best Manufacturing Practices: Report of Survey Conducted at Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems, Fort Worth, TX

Abstract

During the week of 7 August 1995, a Best Manufacturing Practices (BMP) survey was conducted at Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems (LMTAS) located in Ft. Worth, Texas. LMTAS is a government-owned, contractor-operated facility designated as Air Force Plant 4, located adjacent to the realigned Carswell reserve base. This division of Lockheed Martin employs more than 11,900 personnel with a 1994 payroll of $677.76 million. Facilities encompass 602 acres with over seven million square feet of building space. LMTAS supports several major programs including the Air Force's F-l6 Fighting Falcon, FS-X, and F-22 Air Superiority Fighter aircraft. It also leads Lockheed Martin's effort in the Joint Advanced Strike Technology program to develop future tactical aircraft for the Navy, Marines, and Air Force.
