Field surveys revealed a number of issues needing resolution. Some of the identified issues already had solutions developed, for others solutions were at hand, others were being worked, and some required new effort. The PM and the contractor developed an action plan to design, evaluate, and implement improvements. Some vehicle design changes will result in field modifications, while others will find their way into A1 production. In the aggregate these changes are intended to improve the company's efficiency, improve the products being produced, and to provide better support to its varied customer base.
Customer satisfaction is the watchword.
Under this new leadership team TVS has instituted many improvements. Manufacturing process improvement teams are hard at work to elevate the quality of A1 models to even higher levels. The FMTV manufacturer isn't sitting on his hands when it comes to product innovations or expanding markets either. To date trucks have been sold to Thailand, Taiwan, New Zealand, Israel, Greece, Egypt, and Oman. The FMTV LHS is based on the wrecker chassis and is capable of eight-ton lift.
