3 INTRODUCTION Before this century ends the aerospace industry will meet the national goal of high quality, reliable and affordable access to space. Key to achieving these goals is the integration of producibility into the design process. The understanding of producibility and its role, its close relationship with the design, operations, logistics and the quality disciplines are essential to the success of any new space transportation program., ' \Z1CS 20' ^ PROCESSING.

7 MANPOWER People are a major element of the producibility effort. The correct blend of people from the production discipline and the other functional disciplines along with their expertise are critical to success. Production Engineering Industrial Engineering Tool Engineering Process Planning Plant Engineering Product Engineering Systems Engineering Safety Engineering Manufacturing Technology Quality Assurance and Testing Technical Data Management Production Control Material Control Quality Control TOOLS - Computer Integrated Manufacturing INTEGRATION THROUGH COMPUTERS WORK STATION INTERACTION REQUIRES INTER/INTRA COMPANY STANDARDS ELIMINATES CLERICAL SYSTEM INTERFACES IMPROVES INFORMATION INTEGRITY AND TIMELINESS IMPROVES MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS AND CONTROL 8-27

10 CONCLUSION Producibility is a central tenet to any product development approach in all competitive manufacturing environments. The means and methods are available. The talent has always been there, and now the tools that compliment that talent are there. The focus of all involved enterprise functions must be shapened to appropriately amplify and address this tenet. IS EVERYONES RESPONSIBILITY 8-30
