Lean is biting our ass at Waddington now as well.
Our new see off team comprises of 40 percent more manpower but now takes twice as long. Basically the five lads who would have done the see off and any crew in snags have to sit in the van and watch the new "lean" two man team do the see off on their own.
It takes the two of them twice as long to move the gse and bottles around as it did the five. However the five still have to wait in case there is a crew in snag. But if anyone waiting for snags helps the see off team it aint "lean".
What a great system. At least the new FLM's from Cosford will have something to do when they turn up.
But somewhere in the hangar is a big board proving that it saves loads of man hours and footsteps.
Leaning my arse!
