WHY DOES ARMSCOR EXISTS

• REASONS WHY WE NEED ARMSCOR
• Defence acquisition requires the application of
  engineering and science.
• Public service remuneration system cannot support
  the technical skills required by Armscor
• Public service management system will render
  Armscor ineffective (e.g. Dockyard).
• Independent decision making body always produces
  best objective results (civilian oversight).

7
WHY DOES ARMSCOR EXISTS

• ARMSCORS RELATION WITH DENEL
• Up to 1992 Denel was the manufacturing capability
  of Armscor.
• Currently, Denel is one of the supplier to
  Armscor and the DoD.
• Armscor treats Denel like any other local
  supplier to the SANDF ( must be cost and product
  competitive)..

CHALLENGES FACING ARMSCOR

  cover entire Armscor budget

  organisation is unable to function.
• Supplement transfer payment with additional
  income from commercial activities.
