CTMA is a collaborative effort between the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS), its member companies, and the Department of Defense (DoD) to demonstrate, integrate and transition emerging technologies into DoD maintenance facilities through a cost share. The Joint Group on Depot Maintenance (JG-DM) established the JTEG to improve the coordination among DoD depot maintenance activities for the support of new and emerging technologies, and continuous process improvement (CPI) initiatives used to improve the capability and efficiency of the depot maintenance community.
