GE Aerospace has announced significant advancements in the maintenance processes for jet engines, specifically targeting the GEnx-1B engines used in Etihad Airways' Boeing 787 fleet. Through a collaborative effort employing the lean process known as "kaizen," the team successfully optimized two key maintenance processes-360 Foam Wash and borescope inspection (BSI)-at Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi. These improvements, which increased overall efficiency by 33%, were facilitated by a team led by Francisco Hernandez, GE Aerospace's customer lean leader based in Dubai. The results of this research have already been implemented and demonstrate the potential for replication across other engines and customers.
