TOC in Aerospace & Defense

Aerospace & Defense

Mission readiness through flow โ€” from depots to squadrons.

The US Air Force, US Marines, and Israeli Air Force have all applied TOC to maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations. Aircraft availability increased dramatically by identifying the true constraint in the maintenance pipeline rather than adding more technicians.

aircraft availability (US Air Force cases)
50%+
MRO throughput increase
60%
reduction in aircraft grounding time

Typical constraints in this sector

โ†’Aircraft availability limited by MRO throughput, not fleet size
โ†’Parts waiting โ€” aircraft grounded for want of one component
โ†’Competing priorities across multiple programs
โ†’Safety buffers created by misapplied local efficiency metrics

TOC tools applied

DBR for MROCCPM for defense programsTOC Supply Chain for spares
