AIMD Mayport recently completed AIRSpeed Green Belt training.

Training covered several methodologies including Lean, Six Sigma and Advanced Theory of Constraints (ATOC). This Green Belt qualification is the first step in shaping the U.S. Navy fleet of the future.

The AIRSpeed Program will balance and align maintenance and supply activities to end-user demand by ensuring the right material is in the right place, at the right time and at the right cost.

In doing so, AIRSpeed will ensure that the warfighter has the assets necessary to support Ready for Tasking (RFT) requirements and entitlements set forth in the NAVRIIP Interdeployment Readiness Cycle (IDRC).

Additionally, AIRSpeed creates an environment where continuous process improvements can take place, and it leverages existing initiatives by synergizing a proven set of tools with the Theory of Constraints (TOC) at the foundation.
