Naturally, as the blue prints used by both were the same, equivalentperformance was anticipated from both. But this was not the case when the field history resultscame in after some use of the jets in the field.What was found was that the Japanese built planes had a mean-time-between-failure (MTBF)reliability that was twice as that of the U.S. F-16’s! Such a difference in performance cannot beattributed purely to chance. There has to be an uncommon cause that resulted in this. Onconducting an analysis, it was found that the U.S. manufacturers used the full spectrum oftolerance that was available to them, whereas

The success inmeeting these expectations is primarily based on the materials in the financial analysis course(s)similar to graduate level engineering economics.Several studies have examined the financial analysis tools that corporations employ [1,2]. Butthese studies did not specifically track the translation of these tools into the engineeringmanagement work place at the operating manager (first level manager, second level manager,and program / project manager) and engineer level. Consequently they are of limited use to theMEM instructor since they provide high - level organizational data, primarily from larger publicsector firms. The
