All a bit late now. It has been crumbling for years, lean is just one of many initatives. Self supervision, multi skilling, rapid improvement events etc etc. It has led to less worker bees doing more and more with no breaks. The engineers are initative fatigued and most of the good ones have either applied for redundancy or left allready. Sad thing is the good ones won't get redundancy as they will get a nice blue "You're too valuable" letter. Just like the last time the majority of these will then vote with their feet anyway. This will then leave the RAF with less than the not enough anyway figure we were supposed to be going to. Still their airships will still get their fast jet jollies as there will still be enough guys to get one jet ready at a weeks notice.
