Lean Manufacturing. Consultant will conduct audits and inspections of work-flow of the operation and implement lean manufacturing practices to eliminate waste (time, process, labor) within the operation.
Lean Manufacturing. It is the intent of labor and management to promote a culture of continuous improvement. To this end, all products new and existing will be produced in keeping with lean manufacturing principles. At the time of introduction of a new product or re-configuration of an existing product, the manpower and skills requirements will be identified and assigned to meet the planned production hours to manufacture the product. The employees assigned to the team will perform tasks required to support, manufacture and ship the product. By applying Lean Manufacturing Principles, it is our objective to: • Create a sense of ownership among workers. • Make improvements an expectation of workers. • Create a structure of teams to utilize workers’ ideas. • Be open to new ideas from teams. • Provide workers with training required to improving technologies and strategies. • Support teams as partners in improvements. • Encourage a culture that permits change and experimentation to improve our processes. In all these matters we recognize mutual support reflects mutual success. These commitments have been developed to enhance the collective bargaining procedure, not to replace it and will not supercedesupersede other articles of this agreement. Bargaining unit work boundaries will be respected and maintained.

Lean Manufacturing. (Including 5S)
1. People level. o Through continual education and training so as to increase the level of comprehension of applying lean programmes and tools. o Through consultation with the Team Leaders Team in implementing lean improvements.
2. Process level. o Via the adoption of the Company’s lean vision and strategy both parties shall promote and participate in the identification and elimination of waste. o By using lean manufacturing fundamental tools, such as 5S, visual controls, standardized work practices, total productive maintenance and quick set-up programmes and processes. o By always looking to flow the manufacturing process so to improve such things as process flexibility, production, inventory and materials handling.
3. Performance level. o Through recording and displaying relevant, timely and accurate information on performance. This information shall provide the basis for continuous improvement activities. Goals: To improve DIFOT, production lead times, labour efficiency and waste reduction – including production waste, water and energy.
Lean Manufacturing. Upon Statement of Work (SOW) issuance and prior to commencement of production planning, Seller's executive management will;
A. Host a Boeing Lean Supplier Development Specialist (SDS) visit and participate in a facility-wide Lean Diagnostic if not previously conducted by Boeing and host follow-on visits as specified by the Subject Matter Expert (SME).
B. Use their best efforts to implement the SDS's recommendations, particularly those tied directly to or in support of 7X7-X production
C. Provide a Lean Manufacturing Implementation Plan or modification to an existing plan that is inclusive of all Boeing work and contains a section specific to 7X7-X. The 7X7-X section must demonstrate incorporation of Lean Manufacturing concepts within the following part/assembly development and implementation phases;
1. Part/Assembly design (if Seller has Design Delegation Level 4 or 5 responsibility)
2. Tooling design
3. Production process setup (door to door) The non-program specific (company-wide) portion of the plan must address Lean deployment to;
a. Recurring training
b. Sub tier interface
c. Delivery to Boeing
d. Manufacturing support organizations (Enterprise Lean) The Seller Lean Implementation plan must be reviewed and determined acceptable by the SDS and Boeing Procurement Team within a jointly agreed schedule. Within one year of commencement of production, Boeing and Seller agree to use the following metrics to establish an enterprise level baseline followed by monthly measurements to evaluate Lean driven cost improvement: (i) Inventory Turns, defined as Annual Costs of Goods Sold/Inventory Value; (ii) Productivity, defined as Annual Sales/Average Employee Count; and, (iii) Asset Turnover, defined as Annual Sales/Total Assets. Additional metrics may be added and evaluated as agreed to by the parties. Where Boeing and Seller can identify areas of improvement, beyond those previously anticipated, identified and documented in the SBP price, the parties will determine the amount of savings, which will result from the improvements and share the savings. Where a savings is identified and documented, the parties agree to reduce the recurring price by that amount determined by the Parties.
