A Proposal for the LAI Enterprise Value Phase
What Is the Lean Enterprise Value Phase IV?
The objective of the Lean Enterprise Value Phase IV, which ended August 31, 2005, was to extend lean practices to the entire aerospace enterprise. To do so, LAI's intellectual orientation shifted from functional to broader enterprise areas. LAI developed Enterprise Value Phase IV with a clear focus on producing products of substantial value to consortium members. The major products of Phase IV are:
- Enterprise Value Stream Mapping and Analysis Guidebook
- A "LESAT-like" tool to self-assess the supplier/customer interface
- Course materials for university education and professional development
- Establishment of the LAI Educational Network™ (EdNet)
- Community channels to support lean knowledge and tool usage
The goals of the Enterprise Value Phase IV are designed to accelerate the transformation of the U.S. aerospace enterprise. These goals are:
|
Goal 1:
|
Support the ongoing lean transformation of industry. |
|
Goal 2:
|
Enable lean value-creating supplier base. |
|
Goal 3:
|
Support lean transformation of the government. |
|
Goal 4:
|
Educate and train stakeholders in value-creating lean principles and practices. |
|
Goal 5:
|
Improve effectiveness of organizations and all the employees across the total enterprise. |
|
Goal 6:
|
Support member lean implementation efforts by sustaining tools and knowledge base and by sponsoring outreach events. |
LAI established teams to work toward these goals and support planned products resulting from research efforts. Each team had linkages within the LAI Knowledge Cycle to channel knowledge and received information from a broad set of LAI participants.
