Lean AISF: Applying COTS to System Integration Facilities

Abstract

Lean Avionics Integration Support Facility (AISF) is an initiative to introduce Lean concepts and methods to the F-15 AISF. Our strategy includes the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and open source software where appropriate. In this article, the author briefly describes the AISF and then discusses several examples of using COTS to reduce maintenance costs and improve performance.
