Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) to host 2019 Remanufacturing Conference
ANAD will host a Remanufacturing Conference on November 19, 2019, to bring together suppliers of technical services/products which can improve ANAD’s role as a readiness provider and sustainer of combat power. This event will be by invitation only. Interested parties must submit a 2019 Industry Conference Interest Form to be considered. ANAD is a secure facility and all parties must be properly vetted through a background check prior to entrance.
Potential guest speakers will include ANAD Commander and Deputy Commander, as well as representatives from Army Material Command, Army Contracting Command-Warren (ACC-Warren), TACOM, ANAD Production Engineering, and the Army’s Ground Vehicle Systems Center. Key briefings will include ANAD capabilities, public-private partnering process, contracting/procurement actions, and areas of focused interest/process improvement. Tours will be provided to demonstrate ANAD’s capability and identify production/process improvement opportunities.
