摘要
This paper reports the findings of a research study into the application of lean production methods to a traditional aerospace manufacturing organization. The approach taken to lean production is described, along with what worked and what did not. Two main stumbling blocks to the application were identified-the redundancy programme and a lack of employee education in the concept and principles of lean production. A number of the methods of lean production were found not to be as effective as in the motor manufacturing environment, the reasons for this included the dominant position of the company and the customer demand characteristics. In addition, both management and the industrial workers found the transition from traditional manufacture to lean production was not easy to make.
