1. Introduction
The Lean and Agile manufacturing in Aerospace has been developed from a long time
ago. Most of the areas in aerospace management have much invested in parts that require the use
of new methods that will enable them to be competitive. Lean assembling seems to hold
significant guarantee for tending to a scope of concurrent, contending requests, including
elevated levels of procedure and item quality, minimal effort and decreases in lead times. The
increase in maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities has led to the demand for implementation
of lean and agile (Ayeni, Ball, and Baines, 2016).
Some factors affect lean and agile management in Aerospace, and they need to be
identified and analyzed to determine their impacts. There is an increasing need for maintenance,
repair, and overhaul (MRO) industries to satisfy the customer needs in the quality work
(Herterich, Uebernickel, and Brenner, 2015). With reduced lead times, there is a high chance of
survival within the aviation industry. There is an increasing demand for the re-evaluation of the
operations in models of organizations in the aviation industry. Business operations models such
as Lean and Agile have been adopted in aviation industries to deal with the severe economic
turmoil and the ever-increasing global competition.
These concepts lead to the review of this report to analyze the implementation process of
Agile and Lean model management in the Aerospace industries for MRO activities. The research
work has been based in Singapore using the identified objects to that the main aim of the report
can be achieved. The concepts and its applications in the aerospace maintenance, repair and
overhaul sector will be well understood after carrying a systematic review of the literature
supporting the information. The major issues have been identified and will help in the design of
the report.

2. Research Aim and Objectives
The main aim of the research is to investigate the implementation of Lean and Agile
Management in Aerospace Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul industry in Singapore.
Other Research Objectives include:
 The research work literature review.
 Determining the factors that affects the research work.
 Analyzing the impacts of the research.
 Determining how leadership affects the implementation process.
2.1 Conceptual Framework
According to Antonenko, the theoretical framework how the researcher synthesis the
study so as to interpret the phenomenon (2015:53). It illustrates what to expect in the research
showing the variables that are taken to relate to each other. The structure will also display the
presentation for the research aim and objectives that drive for the investigation that was reported.
Below is the conceptual framework that illustrates the factors that impact the implementation of
Lean and Agile Management and the associated results of the investigation.
