Aerospace Lean Thinking and Improvments
The aerospace industry continues to strive to meet the ever increasing challenges of the global market and in particular the requirement to build larger and more environmentally friendly aircraft. In the civil arena, a move to more complex parts, the reduction in the number of suppliers, the globalisation of the supply chain and an increasing use of new materials in primary flight structures represent current trends in the industry.
