| About LFI |  |
|
A network of airlines, industry and academic institutions have come together to establish the LFI to build on existing networks to share information and promote best practices in aircraft operations. LFI is an industry association, founded to develop and promote Lean principles, practices and tools among aircraft operators and companies facilitating and supporting all aspects of airline operations. Lean methodology focuses on the elimination of waste and the efficient creation of enterprise value. Where Lean principles have been introduced to date, enterprises have experienced dramatically improved competitiveness, productivity, and cost efficiency. The effective use of Lean methods has been amply demonstrated in many different business environments, from manufacturing to back office processes and even medical care. LFI has created an exceptional independent forum of airline, industry and academic partners. Using tools such as the LFI web portal, process re-engineering workshops and Lean conferences, LFI actively encourages members to share information and promotes best practices in aircraft operations. LFI aims to extend the use of Lean best practices to aircraft operators and companies that support airlines operations such as providers of technology solutions; facilitation of flight operations, line maintenance and dispatch; documentation and content management; and other frontline processes. |
