... are being formulated by the PNGV in response to needs identified in the context of Goal 2 and Goal 3 technology development programs, notably for low-cost, high-volume manufacturing processes. The manufacturing program includes efforts to: improve design and development processes to shorten lead times and achieve cost reductions develop new manufacturing systems that will increase productivity 34

... Demonstrating the reliability of new manufacturing technologies in a commercial environment requires time. The choice of promising Goal 3 technologies for selection in 1997 may well be limited by Me absence of Goal 1 proven manufacturing processes that offer significant time and cost advantages.
