LEAN, I'm alright Jack.

So, instead of storing all Seaking blades at Stafford, looked after by 2 blokes, we need to move them closer to VVHA and lean the process:

Storage nearer Yeovilton - manned by 2 blokes
Storage nearer Lossiemouth - manned by two blokes
Storage nearer Wattisham - manned by two blokes
Storage nearer Chivenor - manned by two blokes
Storage nearer Leconfield - manned by two blokes
Storage nearer MPA - manned by two blokes

As we know, the object of LEAN is to get rid of manpower, so if we assume that the minimum manpower it takes to look after Seaking blades is two blokes, and VVHA wants to 'personalise' Seaking blade storage, using the above Seaking locations, that would mean that the SAME two blokes would have drive around the country to their Seaking blade storage areas, with a twice monthly trip to MPA, best VVHA only ever requires his cab to have a blade replacement snag every third Monday!.

Will cuts in Manpower at Yeovilton pay for the VVHA's proposed localised storage areas.?

Here's to LEAN and the ever increasing list of unserviceable aircraft awaiting manpower and spares.
