Video: Lean manufacturing at Boeing

27. Oktober, 2007

“Utilizing lean manufacturing techniques makes sense in any environment! Low volume/ high volume, repetitive/job shop environments all have the same customer requirements; the prime directive for any business should be to produce what is needed, when it is needed and in the quantity needed.”

Bob Castonguay, Lean Manager at TRUMPF Inc. (Trumpf Express Volume 3, 2007 )

The 737 final assembly line is an impressive example: Boeing changed from fixed dock stations to a moving line some years ago. Watch this YouTube video!
