RASSP Manufacturing Interface

• Provide mechanisms to significantly reduce NRE and schedule associated with transition of PWB from design to production

• Standard data formats minimize need for custom translation software
• Secure information exchange over public networks provides agility
• Producibility knowledge from the factory made readilty accessible to design team

• Significany cost and cycle time reductions realized at LMC Ocala manufacturing facility
  • Designed to manufacturing setup cycle time improved by >10x (Gad96) - ex: process plan generation reduced from >14 days to <1 day
  • NRE costs reduced by 40%
  • Manufactruing rework reduced by over 80% (Gad96)
  • Over 100 PCA designed processed
    • eg., Hellfire, Longbow(missile and fire control radar), Lantirn, Wind Corrected, etc.
• Payback analysis indicates ROI ratio of 6:1 over next 3 years
• RASSP Manufacturing Interface identified in best practice study sponsored by the US Navy
