M-16 project to me, and in approximately 2 month's time I increased production
by 12%. After a total of 4 months, production was increased to 28%. The SCAR wea
pon project would have the same prospect standpoint when completed. I achieved
that without costly capital expensive, utilization of all original equipments an
d personal. Typically, all other of AO's projects would have the same outlook. T
he improvement of productivity, non-conforming parts percentage would diminish a
nd most important, improvement of tool life!
