Manufacturing Solutions

Over a very short period of time, NCDMM activities evolved from quick response support to participation in a full range of initiatives to resolve production issues that challenge the manufacturing and machining efforts of defense organizations and their contractor communities. This participation addresses currently deployed weapon systems as well as future systems. The impact of the Center’s participation is quantifiable and significant.
The Center’s fully integrated systems approach can be organized
as four major elements:

Depot and Production Manufacturing Assessments
NCDMM’s participation can begin with Manufacturing Assessments at depots and production facilities. This is an important part of the overall transition perspective since the assessment enhances awareness and knowledge related to particular situations and issues that need to be addressed.

Innovative Solutions Development
Based on a clear understanding of needs and requirements, the NCDMM – frequently in collaboration with its Alliance Partners – develops state-of-the-market and state-of-the-art solutions that ensure the quality, affordability, maintainability, and rapid deployment of the DoD system.

Demonstrations to Reduce Risk of Implementation
The NCDMM demonstrates proof-of-concept alternatives leading to the selection of a
best solution to overcome and reduce the risks of implementation. As appropriate, the NCDMM can apply its JUMPED™ methodology to perform complete turnkey projects.

Implementation of Best Solutions
The Center works diligently to transition best solutions to the stakeholder facility. This transition not only includes the technologies necessary to achieve the solution objectives,
but also includes the necessary training and technical support to assure the solution is properly implemented and the anticipated benefits are achieved.
