Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation document entitled "Manufacturing Plan for Project Apollo - Lunar Excursion Module LPL-850-1A," housed in its original black 11 x 11.5 binder, totaling approximately 173 pages. The binder begins with an introductory section (missing the first few pages), summarizing the purpose of the document: "The 'LEM Manufacturing Plan' emphasizes a unified effort for the management, implementation, and control of all manufacturing phases…As stated throughout this plan, the primary goals of highest mission reliability, on-schedule performance, and lowest possible over-all costs have established the criteria for the evaluation and selection of all manufacturing procedures and techniques."
The report is divided into eight tabbed sections: "Description and Implementation - LEM Manufacturing Plan"; "Manufacturing Facilities"; "Scheduling, Planning, Methods, and Controls"; "Structural/ Mechanical, Fluid, and Electronic Subsystems"; "Final Assembly"; "Manufacturing Test Program"; "Manufacture of GSE/STE"; and "Field Site Support." The plan contains numerous fold-out charts and schematics, related both to the design and manufacture of the LEM and Grumman's capabilities in that regard. In fine condition, with light general wear.
