Abstract :
This study is an interim status report on implementation of a company wide continuous quality improvement (CQI) total quality management (TQM) initiative dealing with cost, technology, and organizational problems associated with development and transfer of electronics/avionics test strategies from prime equipment design to manufacturing test and subsequently to depot level maintenance. This interim status report highlights the concerns, problems, and tentative solutions to implementing a company wide common automated test equipment (ATE) architecture for commercial airlines and for military programs.<>
