Past event: Lean Six Sigma for MRO Europe

Breaking the Mould: Innovative LSS Approaches for Global Success

Process improvement strategies such as Lean Six Sigma are vital not only to keep operations in the black, but to stay ahead of global competition.  These performance enhancement programs must be leveraged to ensure waste elimination and maximum quality and customer service.

Aviation Week’s Lean Six Sigma for MRO Europe will deliver cutting-edge LSS tools, methodologies, and solutions to eliminate waste and improve your organization’s bottom line.  The event will bring together Lean Six Sigma experts and MRO leaders to share best-practices and solutions that you can take back to your operations and implement for immediate improvement. 

No other event focuses solely on process improvement techniques specifically for the aviation MRO sector. Attend and gain relevant information that applies directly to your operations, and network with professionals who share the same day-to-day challenges you do.


Topics to be discussed include:

  • Lowering costs through lean and highest value proposition (best quality) of service
  • Successful European case studies in utilizing LSS
  • Performance-based and TAT-prioritized business expectations
  • Maximizing LSS for cost reductions and new operational efficiencies
  • Gaining front-line buy-in and changing cultures on the shop floor
  • Proper integration and implementation of CPI tools
  • Sustainment of process improvement projects across the organization
