Book Description
Enclosed are the results of the Defense Department Under Secretary's examination of the problems facing the United States defense manufacturing base. The objective was to identify the actions necessary to prepare the Department better to deal with the dynamics of manufacturing worldwide. The recommendations already being put into action center around six major thrusts: forging the right relations with industry; improving the acquisition system; establishing defense industrial strategic plans that support our military strategic plans; developing manufacturing capabilities concurrent with development of weapon systems; laying the foundation now for the technical skill base required for tomorrow's defense needs; and ensuring that industrial base issue important to our defense benefit from the full spectrum of potential policy remedies, when appropriate. An underlying message of this project, which is based on extensive advice from industry, academia, and other Government agencies, is that cooperation is an essential foundation to meeting and sustaining defense goals cooperation with industry, with our allies, with other agencies, and with the Congress is imperative if we are to meet ever more sophisticated requirements with relatively fewer resources. Keywords: Defense industrial base. (KR).

Book Description
"Military specifications and standards have been repeatedly criticized by the defense industry, program managers, the General Accounting Office, and Congress as being excessively restrictive, obsolete, and costly. The Defense Standardization Program (DSP), created in the early 1950s, was designed to preclude those problems by eliminating unnecessary specifications, consolidating others, and increasing the use of non-Government standards. Although slow to develop, the DSP has taken on added importance within the past several years because of Department of Defense emphasis on bolstering defense industrial competitiveness, total quality management, and maximizing use of commercially available equipment and material. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) has responded by replacing more than 2,000 military specifications with non-Government standards. It also has been instrumental in cancelling unneeded or duplicate specifications. The benefits from those actions are substantial. They also justify continued effort by NAVFAC to lessen the burden of specifications and standards, principally on Navy procurements."--Stinet.
