Commercial aviation is among the safest modes of transport. This is thanks to a continuing improvement process spanning decades (and still ongoing). In this series of posts I will look at how aviation safety improved, using the passenger safety instructions as an example. My first post showed you how it was before the FAA and how it is now. This post looks in particular how the passenger safety institutions (i.e., the cards and the briefings) improved since 1940 thanks to the FAA. Now, pay attention!

Commercial planes are one of the safest ways to get around. Accidents are rare, and your likelihood of dying in a plane is very small compared to all other modes of transportation.

Let’s have a look at how aviation improved one of its aspects, namely the passengers‘ knowledge of what to do in the case of an emergency.

Wo fängt man am besten mit Kaizen an?

Um Lean zu werden, müssen Sie Ihre Fabrik verbessern. Die kontinuierliche Verbesserung (Kaizen) besteht aus vielen kleineren und/oder größeren Verbesserungen. Die erste Herausforderung besteht jedoch oft darin, wo man mit diesen Verbesserungen beginnen soll. Lassen Sie mich näher auf die Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen bei der Auswahl von Verbesserungsprojekten eingehen, mit besonderem Augenmerk auf Anlagen, die mehrere unabhängige Produktionslinien haben, was alles noch schwieriger macht.
