Producibility & Production Transition Experts - BMP needs your help!

BMP is updating, with your input, the Producibility System Guidelines handbook. We are soliciting input from industry practitioners/experts for examples of manufacturing producibility tools and practices that have worked for you. If you have examples, we would ask that you share them with us in order to showcase these in the upcoming publication. Our deadline for receiving inputs is 5 December 2008. Please send to Production@bmpcoe.org in the general format provided below (of course if you don't have the time we'll take your existing format!)

Producibility System Guidelines was originally published as NAVSOP P-3687 in order to foster the use of producibility best practices. If desired you can view this pub at: http://www.bmpcoe.org/library/books/navso%20p-3687/index.html

The "Guidelines" is targeted for use by anyone interested in producibility, but it has in the past been focused on DoD contractors, military program managers and their teams.

We are looking for your feedback in these areas and also others you have seen to be important to product producibility:

  • Producibility case histories/examples, lessons learned, and tools
  • Impediments and enablers to producibility culture change
  • Specific contract language that encourages success in producibility and production transition
  • Associated metrics and incentives that your company has seen work
  • If you have an example of a process or tool that has improved manufacturing producibility please send to Production@bmpcoe.org

    Best wishes from the BMP team!
