Thoughts on Total Quality Movement in the Aeronautical Systems Division, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio

Abstract

Both quality and quantity are involved in any profitable activity. The previously held view about the relationship between quality and profitability is changing, yielding place to the forward-looking view that improvement in quality increases profitability. Strategy and vision are necessary to maintain constant improvement of quality until the improvement becomes total. Some aspects of total quality movement in the Aeronautical Systems Division (ASD) and its component organization, Aeronautical Equipment System Program Office (SPO) are briefly mentioned. The sine qua non to sustaining the technological superiority of ASD is the commitment to total quality.
