However, this conception is based on the tools and philosophy of Lean systems and the nature of the industry. The required craftsmanship and repetitive processes in rail maintenance define the uniqueness of this research </p><p>The objective of this thesis was to research the opportunities and applicability for lean systems in rail maintenance. During the research a unique system, consisting of Lean systems and systems engineering tools, is realized and tried to integrate instead of a pure Lean system. This thesis details the potential implementation of Lean systems in the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority’s rail maintenance facility, and presents the results of the potential transformation.</p> 2011-12-02 English text Cleveland State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=csu1322793946 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=csu1322793946 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
