Metrics
7
Bottom Line Metrics

• Advantages
• Improvements to the metric equate to improvements
  to the bottom line.
• The organization is focused on delivering
  products that meet customer CTQs.
• Disadvantages
• Numerous noise factors exist that can unduly
  influence the bottom line metric (ex. phase
  maintenance O-level Maintenance practices).
• Due to noise, local (I-level) improvements may
  not translate to bottom-line improvements.
• As the I-level component to readiness improves
  the need for O-level to skew readiness data is
  reduced.

8
Using Intermediate Metrics

• In what respects is the I-level responsible for
  flight line readiness?
• Do opportunities exist to utilize intermediate
  metrics that contain fewer noise factors?
• Can assumptions be made about the impact of
  intermediate factors upon the bottom line
  building a case to monitor what we (near) fully
  control?

Training
10
Variation in Length and Quality of Indoctrination
Training Exists

• MALS 31 utilizes a seven hour training program
  to educate/indoctrinate members to AIRSpeed
  practices.
• MALS -14 utilizes a multi-day training program.
• Other sites utilize a single DAU course.
• Productivity Improvement Awareness (30 min)

11
Impact

• No minimum training standard exists across the
  enterprise.
• Significant differences in the level of
  understanding and comprehension of AIRSpeed
  principles exists.

Opportunity for Improvement

• Standardize training expectations
• Structure training around a agreed upon published
  body knowledge.
• Require training utilizing numerous medium (DAU,
  NKO, lecture method)
