We ensure thorough implementation of best practices in aviation and the Lean principles fundamental in achieving continuous improvement. Lean implementation is a holistic approach that addresses all elements; from operational strategy to the shop floor. Implementation and adaptation of Lean to an MRO process is not simple unlike manufacturing; there is no fixed, standard work process. An MRO functions similarly to an assembling/disassembling facility as it generates a great level of variability and waste. It is not easy to identify value added processes although it is easier to identify the waste.
Beyond the common usage, Lean Philosophy defines waste as anything that the customer does not want to pay for and which has no additional value for the customer.
Lean focuses on reduction of eight wastes to improve overall customer value:
1. Transportation
2. Inventory
3. Motion
4. Waiting
5. Over-production
6. Processing itself
7. Defective Product
8. Unused Creativity
By eliminating all kinds of waste, costs are reduced in all phases of production, flexibility increases, customer satisfaction rises and targeted revenues grow. To prevent such waste in our facility, myTECHNIC’s organizational structure has been designed to create the conditions necessary for our technicians to work efficiently. myTECHNIC acknowledges that our most significant responsibility is customer satisfaction; therefore, our configuration has been designed to enable all of our operators to focus on their jobs and create value for the customer.
myTECHNIC is the first Green-field Lean MRO in the world and designed from the ground up with Lean Principles in mind. myTECHNIC will continuously and relentlessly work to improve its operations creating more value for its customers.
myTECHNIC introduces its production system formed by the needs of the MRO business and our understanding of the LEAN Principles.
