MiniTec sponsors New Product of the Year (Aerospace) at BEAAs

MiniTec is underlying its close interest and relationship with the aerospace industry by helping to sponsor the New Product of the year in the Aerospace category. The company has a great deal of experience at developing innovative products to support the aerospace industry, as this brief example describes.

Making an operation lean - and it need not be restricted to a manufacturing operation - is all about the elimination of wastage in a process leading to greater efficiencies, shorter delivery times of a product or service, and a reduction in unnecessary costs to the operation.

The Engineering and Maintenance Division of a well-known UK-based airline group discovered an enormously time-wasteful part of the traditional working practice. The introduction of well-thought-through, ergonomically designed mobile workstations solved the problem of maintenance engineers not having a workstation close by. This had previously meant wasting a lot of time walking back and forth to the few computer equipped workstations located around the perimeter of the large hangar, as they worked upon different parts of the aircraft.
