Focusonoperational
improvement
The operational implementation of the
LEAP (LISI Excellence Achievement Program)
Program speeded up in 2013. The roadmap
established in the strategic plan (cf. p. 20)
could be applied in every LISI AEROSPACE
factory. The strengthening of the first
Independent Production Units (IPU) and
Independent Production Groups (IPG) and
the deployment of monitoring methods for
production and problem solving (Problem
SolvingManagement)havegreatlycontributed
to the improvement of performance in safety,
quality andoptimizationof service rateswith
customers.
Rationalization
andoptimization
of processes
Thegeneral applicationof LeanManufacturing
methods, foroptimizingproduction flowswith
Value StreamMapping (VSM), lay out ofwork
stations (5S) and changes to production runs
(SMED) have facilitated the rationalization of
the use of space, of themeans of production,
and reducing Lead Times. In Argenton sur
Creuse, for example, work in progress could
be reduced from one month to 5 days after
adopting the 5S andVSMmethods. At Saint-
Ouen-l’Aumônethechangetimeforproduction
runs went down by at least 30% with the
installationofSMEDworkplaces.
