ACI Provides Navy's Benchmarking and Best Practices
July 18, 2008 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
PHILADELPHIA Scientific R&D providers the American Competitiveness Institute (ACI) received a five-year, $100 million contract from the U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR) to manage and operate the "Benchmarking and Best Manufacturing Processes Center of Excellence."
To create sustainable best manufacturing processes, ACI will identify, validate, benchmark, and facilitate the dissemination of best-in-class practices, processes, methodologies, systems, and pre-competitive technologies. In doing so, it will enhance and promote communications, corporation, integration, and interdependency across the defense industry that will result in improvements in affordability and performance of defense platforms and weapon systems, according to company representatives.
The work will be performed in Philadelphia, and is complementary to ACI's existing base of advanced manufacturing technology work, said ACI founder and president/CEO Alan J. Criswell. The Navy contract will allow ACI to explore multiple manufacturing technology areas that are important to the Department of Defense (DoD).
