R&M quality team concept: a new R&M 2000 initiative

The Aeronautical Systems Division's C-17 System Program Office has introduced a project management initiative designed to improve the effectiveness of a company's design organization, and to recognize and manage the reliability and maintainability (R&M) program in day-to-day design activities. The initiative, which is called the R&M Quality Team Concept, uses R&M quality teams and a review council, integrated with a structured approach, to focus on system level R&M issues.<
