LEAN at Coltishall..... or how NOT to do it??!!!
Have been reading with great interest your comments on LEAN at Marham,
and I too have mates working there that tell me it's a nightmare.
Remember guys, when Blue Suits ran the outfit, we were not budget driven, and if there was a delay, well we just rescheduled or worked some overtime!
I personally experienced the LEAN Machine at Coltishall, and that to**er with the beard that told us "Yes, this will work" - my Ar*e!!!!
Result - one damn good Engine Bay destroyed, and NO engines being produced due to a Supply Chain problem?!!
What was sad was that the newest LAC in the bay actually predicted the outcome, and no one listened??!!!
AMF on the other hand had stronger management who fought it off - Good Call!!!!
I reckon that BAE are set to take over the world (or so they think!) but lets face it, they build aircraft? Times must be hard for them to want to get involved with the RAF, and I reckon it is a huge gamble??
Good luck guys, and just remember that Airworks and DARA didn't hack it, so maybe there is hope yet?!!!!!
