Project Goals

Help AlliedSignal Aerospace's Engines Division (AE) implement lean manufacturing. This included participating on numerous Kaizen improvement teams, developing a rough-cut capacity model for the Static Components Production Center, and helping develop and implement a consumption-based (pull) production scehuling system.

Project Progress

Currently working on the thesis. The pull-system has been developed and implemented and the one-piece flow manufacturing is being implemented.
