A central component of the LARA project is the facility survey with a nationally representative sample of aerospace facilities. The aim of the survey is to examine instability and new work systems across a broad range of aerospace industry participants. The data will allow the research team to develop a much clearer snapshot of the status of instability and mitigation issues in the industry than has been previously possible.

Project team members identified a sample drawn from a national aerospace directory and supplemented with data from the Lean Aerospace Initiative and other sources. The survey was not only available in a printed version, but was also developed in a web-based version that allowed participants to complete and submit an electronic survey. The final sample of includes 196 valid responses.

This survey provides the LARA project and other aerospace researchers with an invaluable tool that will allow in depth analysis of the industry at one moment in time.

The LARA team plans on establishing a panel research project that allows times series data to be collected from this same set of respondents. Such a research design allows long-term analysis of industry changes. Long-term analysis is a key ingredient to support subsequent policy recommendations to labor, government, industry, and academia.
