Abstract
The US Department of Defense's total quality management (TQM) campaign to support continuous process improvement is discussed. Reliability, maintainability, and producibility (RM&P) are discussed as key building blocks of TQM and continuous quality improvement of weapon systems. This relationship supports the strategic importance of R&M 2000 in the TQM movement and clearly supports the R&M 2000 goals. The strategic relationship of the R&M 2000 process is reviewed. To demonstrate the conceptual relationships defined by the R&M 2000 process and TQM, the R&M quality team concept is used. The R&M quality team concept is the first TQM initiative to support the R&M 2000 process. The concept has been successfully used in the design of the C-17A airlifter.<>
