Commercial Microcircuit Best Practices Report

Abstract

The Department of Defense has adopted a vision of becoming a world-class buyer of best value goods and services from a globally competitive industrial base. Navy Acquisition Reform Principles include: 1) Use Commercial Products, Practices, and Processes to the maximum extent practicable (e.g., EIA-JEDEC standards and committees, automotive and communication products, and SPC and process controls instead of screening). 2) Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) establishes the basis for a comprehensive effort designed to assure meeting mission needs and reducing life-cycle ownership costs. The Navy has attempted to minimize it's reliance on MILSPECs and STDs for R&M through the use of guideline documents developed cooperatively with industry experts, based on sound engineering principles and providing technical guidance.
