Air Force Materiel Command’s Warner Robins Air Logistics Center, Robins AFB, Ga., is the first public sector depot to receive what is considered the Nobel prize in manufacturing—the Shingo Prize, reports the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. The award has gone to private sector manufacturing for the past 17 years. The ALC won for its enhanced efficiency in the overhaul of C-5 airlifters.
While the Space Force is still making long-term plans to establish high-fidelity live and virtual test and training ranges in the coming years, officials say they're also working with operators to identify near-term gaps and quickly field capabilities to address them.
