This reminds me of a lot of issues we were having with the depot on North Island for far too long around that same time period. The Navy knew all about the issues and that there were significant defects in the products they were cranking out. The issue as we knew it had to do with the CO FITREP metrics being misaligned with production quality. The emphasis was on “efficiency” as defined by bureaucrats with shiny new shore duty MBA’s and pristine flight suits in the CNAP building across the street. This meant arbitrary deadlines with an emphasis on “cost cutting” above QA. I got to tour the Corpus Christi Army depot many years back, and they had just certified in LEAN Six Sigma. That difference between them and other places is that they went all in, instead of incentivizing management to take shortcuts for FITREP bullets.
