Using Constraints Management tools like Critical Chain Project Management to turbo charge your Lean Six Sigma efforts only make sense. Common sense!

"The Shingo award establishes that the B1-B PDM is a world-class operation," said Kim Roe, 76th Aircraft Maintenance Group Bomber Transformation chief. "This award recognizes the mechanics and managers who have shown that critical chain theories are applicable at the depot maintenance level, repair and overhaul process."
