Highlights

GAO discussed previous and ongoing work relating to the Department of Defense (DOD) manufacturing technology (MT) program. In a previous report, GAO found a need for improvement in the MT program's management controls and procedures, and recommended that DOD devise procedures to: (1) ensure that MT program results are implemented in the production of defense systems; and (2) track and document such implementation and any ensuing benefits. An ongoing GAO study is attempting to assess changes in management of the MT program since the previous report and to assess program results. GAO believes that, while several management improvements have been made since the first report, further improvements may be needed, including uniform mechanisms for program evaluation.
