The purpose of this capstone paper is to apply a lean systems approach to the current maintenance planning program in the Assembly/Disassembly Organization. This capstone will take a two-pronged approach to address both output rate in maintenance planning and accurate configuration management resulting from maintenance work orders. In short, the current system suffers from waste in the planning process due lack of procedures to address varying maintenance packages, including maintenance packages which include changes to configuration managed systems. The capstone will detail a lean systems approach to proper characterization of maintenance jobs and integration of change management into the maintenance process in order to retain proper control of the systems used to produce in this nuclear facility.
