The role of organizational culture in the implementation of lean tools towards operational performance in an aerospace company
The global marketplace has undergone a significant transition that characterizes industry in the twenty-first century. Delivering high-quality products quickly drives manufacturers to optimize their operations, manufacturing processes, and all potential supply chain nodes. This is due to intense glo...

The global marketplace has undergone a significant transition that characterizes industry in the twenty-first century. Delivering high-quality products quickly drives manufacturers to optimize their operations, manufacturing processes, and all potential supply chain nodes.
