We dont need any ISI pakistan or china to destabilize us. The above agencies are sufficient. With lack of experience,expertise and professionalism ,they make the lives of design and production engineers miserable. You talk of these agencies to any pvt sector company for approvals, the pvt company just runs away ,unable to meet the high handed demands. The QC dept should take over qualification and approvals. The <BR/>govt should close down the two agencies in the interse of pvt and public R&D in defence sector.These agencies are stumbling blocks as they can neither participate in design and development nor allow others to grow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-81199439521831355712008-03-25T04:16:00.000-07:002008-03-25T04:16:00.000-07:00With regards to the cheaper manufacturer winning t...With regards to the cheaper manufacturer winning the contract, this is only fair on the R&D parties if they are fully refunded for their efforts and further incentivised to continue this line of work.<BR/><BR/>There is no better incentive than a full order of the product being designed, the ties to the Services and the long-term revenue streams in repair and developing future models/improvements.<BR/><BR/>Taking these into consideration, it is beyond idiotic for the MoD to push the BEML. It is also a complete slap in the face of future R&D partners who bring in special expertise and a strict finance-focused corporate culture.A&Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366115360970179692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-3954682501067757412008-03-25T02:53:00.000-07:002008-03-25T02:53:00.000-07:00L & t has rights to deny sharing of expertise with...L & t has rights to deny sharing of expertise with BEML and it has to do that.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-48876515926159213772008-03-24T21:05:00.000-07:002008-03-24T21:05:00.000-07:00To the first comment abt the development money... ...To the first comment abt the development money... <BR/>All companies undertake development projects and try and reduce their prices based on amortisation of prices over a larger series production order that might follow. So by not getting the series production order its a loss to the company.
