Lean Operations means having an absolute passion for identifying
and eliminating non-value added work. IDD’s Lean Enterprise
includes the involvement, commitment, and education of all employees.
Some examples of Lean tools implemented in key areas are “5S”,
Kanban pull systems, Setup reduction, visual controls, capacity
planning tools, continuous training, and more.
IDD’s Manufacturing
IDD’s manufacturing capability is supported by high technology
equipment, effective quality assurance processes and quality-conscious
Team Members. The results are products built with precision and
consistency; products that ship with quicker lead-times; and
the flexibility to manufacture many different types of products.
At IDD we strive to achieve a level of Lean Operations and process
control through Six Sigma that guarantees the highest quality,
100% on-time delivery and provides value to our customers, so
that we are their supplier of choice.
Continuous Improvement
IDD Aerospace utilizes both the Six Sigma and Lean Operations
toolsets to improve quality and reduce lead times and costs.
Our Lean culture drives us to eliminate waste and provide
a smooth flow of information and materials based on the needs
of our customers.
By utilizing Six Sigma statistical techniques, we reduce
variation
in our design, support, and production processes. This makes
us more flexible, responsive, competitive, and able to produce
the highest quality products. Working closely with our customers,
we gain a better idea of what products, features, and delivery
schedules are required to meet and exceed their needs. Project Management
At IDD Aerospace, we take a Project Management Office (PMO) approach
and methodology for managing our cost reduction and Continuous
Improvement efforts. All project candidates, whether they are
Six Sigma, Lean Kaizen, Technology advancements, etc. are prioritized,
planned, and managed according to our objectives and goals.
Six
Sigma
Six Sigma tools are used to define a measure of quality that
strives for near perfection through accuracy and consistency.
Six Sigma
is a scientific, data driven methodology for reducing variation
and defects in any process. Literally, Six Sigma is six standard
deviations between the mean (average) and the nearest specification
limit. This results in a quality level of 3.4 defects per million
opportunities. The Six Sigma toolset consist of analysis and
measurement tools such as Pareto, DOE, ANOVA, Capability, and
SPC.
