Wing Tank Pressure Test - Learning Launch 

 Challenge 

 I have recently moved from a production operative role into the manufacturing engineering department within the company . I was asked to join the team looking into the wing tank pressure test where we check and certify the integrity of the wing before production can continue . There were many different elements of the test that were looked into , from the time it takes to the health and safety issues involved in the test , and from the equipment used to do we even need to do the test ? This is a time consuming part of the production process so there were big benefits in improving the test . 

 Selection 

 The project had already started before I joined the team and good progress had already been made in identifying some of the areas that could be improved . As the test is performed on a number of different variants , there had been some trials completed in the past on some aircraft , but not others . Learning Launch was selected as the tool for this project as we could test ideas and prototypes rapidly and effectively without the need for major investment or time consuming analysis . 

 Application 

 After having a few sessions with the team around the problems with the current method of testing and pain points the operators were experiencing , we had a number of quick win improvements that could be implemented . One of which was taking a method used on one program and applying to another . We engaged with the production operators and asked for their thoughts and feedback through a questionaire . We took this feedback to our next session and came up with further improvements . We were also made aware of other issues around the test and how things might be made faster and safer . 

 At the next meeting we invited operators from different shifts along for further insight , experience and suggestions . The findings from this session were positive and some of our initial ideas could be bolstered and others quashed . It is becoming increasingly common for the ask for savings to come in the form of health and safety and near miss reduction . This has led us down the path of another way of thinking rather than making things more efficient and faster . 

 Insight 

 By using the Leaning Launch tool , we could try our ideas in a short space of time , evaluate them and then we could decide if they were worth pursuing or not . One idea that we trialed was a method of sealing used on another project . But due to the complexities of shape , access to the area and the lengthy cleaning process afterwards , it was deemed unsuitable for this test . 

 Approach 

 As the project is still in its infancy and has still not yet been given a budget , Learning Launch is the best tool to use for this project as it enable fast idea testing as well as the right team , feedback from the core users as well as all main stakeholders , and finding the right solution to the problem . We are a step closer to eliminating near misses as well as reducing the non recurring costs of the test , time taken to perform the test and the environmental impact too .
