Lean Advancement Initiative (LAI)
This research initiative focuses on the use of lean
practices — integrated product and process development, optimized product
flow, and employee growth — to improve aerospace businesses. The LAI
Consortium identifies industry best practices and studies key aspects of
industrial operations, defense acquisition, and aerospace production. LAI
examines all elements of aerospace systems, including airframes, avionics,
engines, subsystems, and government and industrial support items.
