This hybrid methodology resulted in, not only increasing the service life of aging technologies, but also substantial improvements on Mean Time Between Removals (MTBUR) and potential fault identification.
|
| 2:40 p.m. | Closed Loop Continuous Improvement - The Convergence of SCOR, Lean, Six/Sigma A crucial step in ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of your process improvement movement is determining and locating the right potential projects, and then being able to measure the project success at its completion. The Supply Chain Council has produced the Supply Chain Operating Reference (SCOR) model as a framework for configuring and measuring supply chain processes in both Material flow, and Work & Information flow. Bob Parker, Group Vice President for Research at IDC Manufacturing Insights, and one of the original creators of SCOR, will present how the SCOR model can be integrated with Lean Sigma to provide a closed loop mechanism for sustaining improvement momentum. The presentation will include examples of how aerospace companies have implemented this convergence and how it can be applied to MRO processes.
