I work for an aerospace company as a test engineer but we are very versed in lean manufacturing. There are always ways to continuously improve and remove waste from any process, sometimes it means buying new equipment sometimes it means moving around less and co-locating certain operations. There are always wasy to make things take less time therefore less cost and less parts and materials on the shelf. Which will help overhead and cashflow.
