Introduction
This chapter introduces a list of Military documents useful in Industrial Product Design. Designing a product while using military specifications is a good way to get extremely high quality goods.
Mil-Std compliance is absolutely not mandatory for a mass market product, anyway if the relevant standard allows to reach its requirements for an acceptable overcost, the product will be ranked at the highest level by the market. In term of value analysis Mil-STd's are a good deal.
This list is organized in sections. Each sections give a short explanation on available standards and handbooks concerning the specific application domain.
Sections:
02. Product Design
04. Human Factors
06. Logistics
11. Electronics
13. Metallurgy
Note: Some folders contain a "to do" section. These sections have have been inserted to show how the upgrading job is performed.
