Abstract:

The purpose of this survey was to evaluate different airframe manufacturing environments. Price Waterhouse and Northrop Aircraft Division NAD personnel developed the survey questions jointly to evaluate the Needs and Requirements definition for the Automated Airframe Assembly Program AAAP. AAAP focused on major and minor subassembly operations and related areas. The survey breaks these down into two timeframes the next 1-5 years today and the future 5-10 years. The Survey consisted of seven major functional sections including an integration section. The Survey sections were completed by those individuals most familiar with the issues being addressed. The results respondents to this survey are being kept strictly confidential. Price Waterhouse gathered combined and evaluated survey results. NAD personnel do not have access to an individual companys responses.
