Equipped with a Value Stream Analysis (VSA), a lean-management method used to examine the current state of a product, RIA-JMTC is aiming to jump start the process. Headed by Richard Nesbitt, RIA-JMTC deputy commander, the VSA provides them with a framework and understanding that could save from 45-60 days of delivery time for certain projects.
