The current global economy and cost reduction drive is just one of the challenges facing the aerospace industry. When combined with relentless drive for increased customer quality, satisfaction and improved asset availability by reduced downtime and maintenance frequency, the full scale of the challenge becomes apparent.
It is therefore even more vital that a robust supply chain and quality management system is in place to ensure that the correct quality parts are available on time every time. By applying the same standards and methodology to both manufacturing and ongoing service & maintenance, the ongoing quality of the product and continued customer satisfaction can be assured.
This can only happen effectively within a lean and focussed organisation whose capabilities and skills are clearly understood and harnessed by effective leaders and managers. By implementing Lean methodologies you can establish an organisation that has a very clear understanding of your value chain from supplier to customer and the skills, capabilities, and drive to be able to implement significant and sustainable cost savings and quality improvements.
