AIRSpeed Works: Success is Possible at the Operational Level

Abstract

AIRSpeed, Naval Enterprise's integration of Theory of Constraints1, Lean2, and Six Sigma3 has been implemented at the intermediate4 and depot-level maintenance5 activities across Naval Aviation.6 Although these process improvement tools have proven successful in civilian corporations, the results at military installations have been mixed. To achieve success at the operational level, AIRSpeed implementation requires command buy-in, fleet-wide metrics, dedicated manpower, robust training, and change agent incentives.
