The interactions in the Marine Corps H-1 training squadron's operations and maintenance departments between 2008 and 2011 were subjected to a variety of misaligned external requirements and asset structure issues while undergoing a transition to new aircraft. The injection of End-to-End Continuous Process Improvement during the upgrade did not result in the desired improvements in pilot production or aircraft readiness due to these influences. Until a standardized training program for squadron operations managers is implemented, managing this complex production system and its resources will remain an art, rather than a repeatable, and ultimately improved scientific process.
