		<description><![CDATA[This paper will examine the application of Total Quality Management (TQM) to the later stages of a project. Statistical Process Control (SPC) and how Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Design Of Experiments (DOE) help implement SPC will be looked at closely. The goal of the project is to develop a factory to build high-rate, low-cost microwave hybrids for the aerospace, automotive, and defense industry .QFD helped get the project off the ground; now other TQM tools are being used to help win the follow-on contract.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article describes a real life application of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to a factory of the future in the Aerospace and Defense industry. The factory of the future is a proposed high rate low cost microwave hybrid manufacturing facility. It is felt that without the application of QFD the facility will never achieve its goal of high rate and low cost. More a diary than a historical account, this paper describes an application that is still in progress. The completion of the project is planned for 1992.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During economic downturns, chip manufacturers must walk a fine line between balancing costs and providing high quality product. In this industry, sophisticated processes use specialty gases and chemicals to fabricate semiconductor devices that must be consistently pure to avoid costly yield failures. BOC Edwards, a supplier of these gases, wanted to decrease costs while still maintaining high quality product.]]></description>
