Abstract

The Lean Enterprise Self-Assessment Tool (LESAT) was developed by an industry/govern-ment/ academia team under the auspices of the Lean Aerospace Initiative (LAI) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2000 and 2001. Based upon a user needs determination, a Capability Maturity Model format was selected. The current version of LESAT, released in August 2001, is the result of a joint effort between the U.S. LAI and the United Kingdom LAI. Extensive field-testing in more than 20 companies in both countries demonstrated the tool's utility, effectiveness and ease of use. Further refinements are planned for the future.
