This is what the electronic highway has to offer…
The LeanTeam
These are the people implementing this system – Some observations are…
1, There’s that phrase “poor communication” again.
2, Tools…. Tools…. Tools…? What about the supply of components?
Not the stacker system but the attributing of cash to spares
3, “Lyneham does not have an appointed ‘Change Officer’. It’s the line management responsibility to roll out lean and the change teams and line personnel are empowered to identify innovative solutions and make change happen” As per other posts: A Disclaimer for the implementers and the smoking gun the hands of the innocent. AND a statement that has never been banded about either!
4, If OC 24 meant these words how come the aircrew are setting up a thread like this?
5, With OC Eng’s comments …the rest of the RAF take note: ITS OBVIOUSLY COMING TO AN AIR BASE NEAR YOU!
PS…”if you want to know more” then you know who to talk to!!!
More Simpler
This above document makes us look V’ incompetent.
However there may have been a reduction of 2550 moves to carry out a minor/minor * but there is generally an increase in the time to get the aircraft through the process due to the whole process being AF lead. The first of the lean minor/minor* had Approx 20 AF techies per day thus this set the manpower president equation. E.g. Say it takes 40 days to go through a minor and during this servicing there will be an average of 15 AF Techies. That’s a reduction of ¼ of the man power = 10 days, then 5 day are removed for the lean principles. Hence the final solution is thus:
40(days) – 5 (lean days) = 35, + 10(manpower reduction days) =
45 days? (Total)
Now that’s lean for you! And that will be why you have 20 planers.
Talk Time
This is a conference I would like be a fly on the wall at…
1, What will the Wing Co (Depth Support) have to say? @ 15:50
2, Why not tell us first?
3, Does the audience know of the concern e.g. this thread?
Discounted rates anyone? (See end).

As said reduction…but who takes over MAe, BAE, RAF?…Place your bets, pick an acronym!
My thoughts. Without knowing the final manpower figure and the expected task ahead how can you change the system to fit...
Knowledge is power and doesn’t it say TEAM LYNEHAM somewhere?
