ManTech Journal. Productivity Growth in the 80's

Abstract

This special issue of the ManTech Journal for the 12th Annual Manufacturing Technology Advisory Group Meeting offers a unique opportunity to reach a broad range of the DoD Manufacturing Technology Program (MTP) community-both military and civilian. This community is familiar with the broad scope of the day to day problems of American industrial life-inflation, high interest rates, shortages of materials, long lead times, and high energy costs, just to name a few. Most of it is also familiar with a problem which does not press them specifically each day but which is slowly building up pressure and could cause long term, serious harm to the nation-the slow rate of industrial productivity growth of the United States relative to that of our international competition. Conscious awareness about this problem is also slowly occurring outside the industrial base and by the American public in general.
