Increased Resilience for Aerospace Suppliers: Lean Production
About this Event
Today, entire industries are facing an uncertainty never seen before and a significant number of aerospace suppliers had to take drastic measures to stay afloat in turbulent times. Lean Production is more important than ever to help your company to evolve as an even better company out of this crisis.
It's a common misconception that Lean Production is only about reducing waste and working with minimal inventory, delivered just-in-time. In reality, Lean Production is more, it is about about being both: effective and efficient.
Being effective translates to production flexibility, putting in place early warning systems and creating the capability to better react to unforeseen changes. Increased flexibility requires shorter lead times, driven by customer demand. In combination with closely watching the bottom line, efficiency is more important than productivity.
For being successful in an uncertain future, not only does it take the right tools and the right end-to-end approach. It is just as important to create an environment for your staff to safely develop and implement new concepts and to better and more reliably move your company forward.
