Lean Enterprise Value Phase
Abstract
LAI is a consortium of US aerospace industry, government, and academia. Established in 1993 by a cooperative agreement with the Air Force ManTech Division, MIT created a consortium to transform the aerospace industry, reinvigorate the workplace, and reinvest in America using a philosophy called "lean." LAl's mission is to research, develop, and promulgate practices, tools, and knowledge that enable and accelerate the envisioned transformation of the greater US aerospace enterprise through people and processes. LAI is an evolving learning and research community that brings together the key aerospace stakeholders. LAI accelerates lean deployment through best practices, shared communication, common goals, and strategic and implementation tools honed from collaborative experience. LAI also promotes cooperation at all levels and facets of an aerospace enterprise, eliminating traditional barriers to improving industry and government teamwork. The greatest benefits are realized when the operating, technical, business, and administrative units of an aerospace enterprise strive for across the board lean performance, transforming itself into a total lean enterprise. LAI recently concluded the Enterprise Value Phase (IV), where it engaged in transforming aerospace entities into total lean enterprises, and delivering value to all stakeholders through research, knowledge, and education.
