Abstract
Purpose: Lean is increasingly being applied within the aviation Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Industry to mitigate industry challenges. This Lean application is premised on its success within other industrial contexts particularly the automotive industry. Furthermore, many organisations within automotive industry have attributed their enhanced competitive positioning to the Lean application. Indeed, Toyota (a pioneer of Lean) present Lean as a key proponent to its global success. However, with literature suggesting that there cannot be a direct transference of Lean from one industry to another and with the MRO having distinct characteristics different from the automotive industry, this research seeks to present how Occupational Health and Safety can be affected through successful Lean realization. Design/Methodology/Approach: The status of MRO Lean engagements presented is first presented based on the syntheses of literature review and case study. The means through which the MRO realizes its lean is established as it pertains to OHS performance is also defined. The effect of Lean maturity on OHS performance is operationalized through a case study.
