Case Study: Spirit AeroSystems achieves rapid 9-week implementation and actionable inventory visibility with LeanDNA

Spirit AeroSystems - Customer Case Study

Spirit AeroSystems turned to LeanDNA to tackle inventory reduction and the daily pains of their buying community—lack of cross-team visibility, inconsistent buying practices, and manual processes. Led by Ashley Dunkelberger, the Global Supply Chain Purchase Order Management manager, Spirit implemented the LeanDNA software to standardize work, automate workflows, and give buyers a clear line of sight into inventory.

LeanDNA delivered a rapid nine-week rollout across four sites (one week ahead of schedule), enabling immediate visibility into inventory and action prioritization. In the first five months the team identified and completed more than 1,200 actions, driving faster adoption and measurable progress toward Spirit AeroSystems’ continuous improvement goals with LeanDNA.
