Abstract
With the objective of reducing lead times as much as possible, many process improvements can be made. Without the objective of lead time reduction, there can be many confusing objectives without a common thread. This usually results in poor achievement scores on many objectives. To accomplish one major objective, lead time reduction, all other areas will and must be addressed but by a united work force working towards one common goal.
