Abstract
The works of preparing for missile flight test are becoming more complicated. To reduce the amount of waste time along with the complexity of the task, systematic analysis of waste factors should be performed before performing process improvement. The waste factors for missile flight test are first defined using lean-based waste factors. The improvement priorities for the defined waste factors are surveyed. For reliable analysis, AHP is used in questionnaire analysis instead of the existing method with large error. Then weighting and priority for waste factors for level 1 and Level 2 are suggested. Through AHP, we could derive reliable improvement priorities for waste factors. It is analyzed that the biggest cause of waste factors is waiting time and identified as the first item to be considered when establishing improvement plan. In addition, suggestions for improvement measures of waste factors are presented through brainstorming method. Reliable results will be an important factor in process redesign for missile flight test works.
