U.S. News & World Report: GE Aerospace Turns to Robots and 'Lean' Methods to Tackle Jet Engine Repair Crunch
GE Aerospace Turns to Robots and 'Lean' Methods to Tackle Jet Engine Repair Crunch
Five key principles of lean: value, value stream, flow, pull, and perfection, can be applied to any business process that contains wasteful steps, in any industry.
Lean manufacturing has been around for decades. The implementation of lean tools and techniques usually results in impressive gains in efficiency and production. These eight real-life examples show how lean methods improve operational performance and reduce costs.
Lean seeks to improve manufacturing operations via Takt Time, Standardized Work, Continuous Flow, Poka-Yoke, Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen, and Six Big Losses.
P rofessionals who follow Lean Six Sigma use the data-driven methodology to improve processes by eliminating defects, variations, and waste. They embrace the disciplined, data-driven approach using problem-solving tools, statistical methods, and advanced analytics. The Six Sigma belt levels and certifications are similar to those of martial arts.
