Producibility is an engineering function directed toward achieving a design which is compatible with the realities of the manufacturing capability of the defense industrial base. More specifically, producibility is a measure of the relative ease of producing a product at the desired rate and with acceptable yields, quality, reliability, cost and performance. Producibility is a coordinated effort by design engineering, manufacturing engineering, and other functional specialists to create a functional design that can be easily and economically manufactured. The product must be designed in such a manner that manufacturing methods and processes have flexibility in producing the product at the lowest cost without sacrificing function, performance, or quality.
