How Companies Can Leverage Lean to Achieve Their ESG Targets

No business or organization exists in a vacuum, but instead each one operates in a complex physical, social and governmental environment in which everything they do can have both positive and negative impacts. The process known as ESG, which stands for environment, social, and governance, is a templated approach to evaluating business operations according to those three criteria, looking at success not just as profit and shareholder return but in how the organization is functioning within the wider environmental, social, ethical, and regulatory ecosystem.

Lean Aviation MRO

The success of an airline or other fleet operator such as the military, requires having as many planes as possible in full operation. A plane grounded for repair is a plane that’s not bringing in money – and a plane that’s taking up space in a hangar or repair facility. For these reasons, airlines and other fleet operators are turning a critical eye on their maintenance and repair operations, looking for ways to cut costs while getting planes back in the air faster and more safely.
