Oh dear Lord, no! USAF LEAN

The briefing I attended used the same acronym, LEAN, to institute changes/reductions in how various organizations/units do their procedures/duties with an eye to meeting the announced 40K cuts in personnel and probably significantly more.
I am making the assumption it is the same LEAN as is often maligned on these pages?

Basic error No.1
I assumed you'd listened to the brief telling you how they planned to apply it.
I would have drowsed in the back row, I suspect, so no blame.....

The mass brief dealt mainly with the on-going and coming cuts, LEAN was an acronym listed as one method of doing so. They did not elaborate specifically. As it was an overview brief on the drawdown and I'm very definitely in the twilight of my career, I did indeed slouch lower in the back of the auditorium and drift off. Happy to help them meet their lower numbers.
I did think that there might be some humo(u)rous posts here and for the most, I have not been disappointed. Some exceptions of course.........

I've had a lot of exposure to LEAN and I have to say it workks a treat. You have to take it in its real context. My units flying programme was LEAN'd and the result was - More aircraft = More Flying. The engineers LEAN's theoir maintenance schedule...result = More aircraft on the line. I admit, at first it was a bit of a Ball$ ache but once the new routines were established it works fine.
