Aerospace Manufacturing Technology Conference & Exposition Technical Session Schedule Wednesday, September 10 Predictable Output - Panel (Session Code: AMT21) Room 510B  3:30 p.m. Collective System Design (CSD) is a product development and delivery strategy that allows for the development of a Production System Model (or map) enabling detailed design and implementation of robust manufacturing systems. CSD facilitates the development of a precedence network that identifies the functional requirements of a manufacturing system and maps them to their corresponding solutions. This ensures that production systems are lean by design and allows for the use of Lean/Six Sigma and Value Stream Mapping tools for continuous improvement activities. The framework is centered on cost, quality, problem resolution, span time reduction, predictable output, and product design. CSD is an emerging methodology being applied across several industries and has been adopted by Lockheed Martin for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Program and the F-22 mid-fuselage built in Fort Worth. This session will focus on how to design work to ensure that products are manufactured to takt time requirements in spite of variation. Topics will include standardized work rules, work force vitality, supply chain integration, and shop floor status and visibility. The panel will be comprised of representatives from the JSF Program and Lockheed Martin Space Systems along with Dr. David Cochran, developer of CSD.
