The Goodrich Corporation document talks about Goodrich Aerostructures which is a division of the Goodrich Corporation. Goodrich Aerostructures is known as the world's leading independent full-service provider of nacelles, pylons, thrust reversers and other types of aircraft components for large commercial, regional and military aircraft. On the other hand, the type of business assessed in the Boeing Everett article was the aerospace/aviation industry. Boeing Everett programs have been evaluated to implement and establish lean programs. Hazardous waste, non-hazardous waste and packaging waste were generated at each facility. Each facility primarily deals with hazardous chemicals for aircraft painting and other aircraft maintenance operations. It is important that hazardous waste generated by companies like Goodrich Aerostructures and Boeing Everett comply with laws to protect the environment and personnel. For example, in 2002 Goodrich Aerostructures organized a 2-day kaizen event where activities related to environmentally hazardous waste streams were conducted. Some of the activities include: “Developing metrics to monitor progress toward reducing waste streams,” “Surveying staff on hazardous waste management practices.” In order to reduce waste/pollution, Goodrich Aerostructures implemented lean manufacturing techniques that began in the Riverside Plant after the general manager attended a lean manufacturing training seminar offered by the Lean Enterprise Institute. Furthermore, in 1996, this company began applying lean techniques to administrative processes. By 1999, many of Goodrich Aerostructures' U.S. facilities had already adopted lean tools. Their plant in California, known as Goodrich Aerostructures Chula... middle of paper... among articles, the complexity of implementing lean manufacturing has been demonstrated since, in order to reduce waste for different companies, all operations and procedures have been implemented pass tests and a whole series of studies in their entirety. For example, Product and Process Design (3P) is important because it eliminates wasted time and complexity. It is crucial to attend training meetings and seminars because we, as future EHS managers, need to know how the real world works and what technologies are available to help us do our jobs better. Furthermore, waste reduction is not easy to achieve as there are many steps to take into consideration. For Boeing, they had to analyze all the manufacturing procedures of the 767 and 777 to foresee all the opportunities that could be achieved by improving the overall operation through the use of lean manufacturing.
