Abstract
Over a six-day period in the final quarter of 2004, members of the Lean Aerospace
Initiative (LAI), Massachusetts Manufacturing Extension Partnership, Rockwell Collins,
and Metis Design met with host company Textron Systems in a collaborative effort to
map the enterprise value stream of Textron’s Sensor Fuzed Weapon (SFW) program. The
workshop also included participation from the US Air Force (USAF), Alliant
Techsystems, Cessna Aircraft, Herley Industries, and Pioneer Aerospace.
This commentary describes the results and follow-up in the six months since the
workshop was held. Some of this information is contained also in a presentation of Geoff
Bentley and Hugh McManus, entitled “Textron Systems Sensor Fuzed Weapon VSM
Event: Using LAI Tools to Transform a Program Enterpise”, delivered at the LAI Plenary
Conference on 23 March 2005.
