Press Ramping up the production of a new aircraft is a complex process, involving continuous evaluation and revision of both the product and production processes. As a result, aircraft lead time can increase dramatically.
Additionally, aircraft are low volume products, with each unit often highly customized. These factors, combined with decreasing product lifecycles, pose a major challenge for aircraft production engineers.
