Standardizing Decorative Paint Operations at the Everett Delivery Center
The Tauber Team was assigned to identify best practices to paint customer-specific decorative liveries for wide-bodied aircraft for the Boeing Company. The team combined institutional knowledge and data analysis to create a uniform set of procedures designed to reduce total process and rework time, as well as variability in the painting process, and tested this methodology on incoming planes to assess its effectiveness and sustainability.
