Research On Application Of Lean Manufacturing Method In Large Aircraft Manufacturing

With the rapid development of science and technology, the current aviation industry not only has become one of the most important high-tech strategic industries in the world, but also has a major impact with the structure of international economic, political and military. The development level of aviation industry of a country is an important symbol of comprehensive national strength. If the aviation manufacturers want to take advantage in the highly competitive international market, they must improve its competitiveness. Lean management is one of the most advanced manufacturing management method and many successful applications of advanced corporation proved it's practicable and scientific. Applying lean production management into aviation manufacturing process can reduce the various aspects of wastes, reduce costs, improve efficiency, increase customer satisfaction, and enhance their core competitiveness.This thesis based on the analysis of the aviation industry status and the management theory of lean production, combined with the examples of international well-known aviation manufacturers to analysis the necessity of applying lean production management into aviation manufacturing process, and put forward the feasible proposals of specific applications. It described in detail about the establishment of experiment unit, the specific implementation of the strategy, the investigation of product state, the analysis of case, the specific implementation of the 5S management, visual management, and production planning management, standardized operation, and quality improvement work content. By using the instance canalization can sort out the valuable method of lean improvements, and also can give the experience to china large aircraft project which will implement the lean manufacturing management the future.
