Summary of Inventory Pilot Project March 1993 - December 1994

The Lean Aircraft Initiative began in the summer of 1992 as a “quick look” into the feasibility of applying manufacturing principles that had been pioneered in the automobile industry, most notably the Toyota Production System, to the U.S. defense aircraft industry. Once it was established that “lean principles” (the term coined to describe the new paradigm in automobile manufacturing) were indeed applicable to aircraft manufacturing as well, the Initiative was broadened to include other segments of the defense aerospace industry. These consisted of electronics/avionics, engines, electro-mechanical systems, missiles, and space systems manufacturers. In early 1993, a formal framework was established in which 21 defense firms and the Air Force formed a consortium to support and participate in the Initiative at M.I.T.

Perfil profesional del gestor cultural en Colombia : competencias para la gestión cultural en el siglo XXI

El proyecto busca establecer las competencias que debe desempeñar el gestor cultural frente al reto de la cibercultura y la sociedad del conocimiento. A partir del análisis de las actividades de gestores en ejercicio y de la oferta de programas de formación se pueden elaborar nuevos significados e identificar nuevas prácticas del trabajo del gestor cultural en sus comunidades. La investigación del perfil profesional permitirá entender cómo fortalecer las redes sociales – integración social -; fomentar el reconocimiento de las diferencias – pluralismo -; promover el uso de TIC como vehículo de comunicación, proyección, formación de redes y gestión de comunidades; agenciar a los individuos y comunidades para una apropiación eficiente de sus saberes y tradiciones, de sus deberes y derechos como ciudadanos. Si la gestión cultural está íntimamente ligada a la construcción de nuevos sentidos de identidad, creatividad y participación democrática, entonces conocer, articular y fortalecer el perfil profesional de los gestores culturales coadyuvará para el logro de éstas y otras metas de la política cultural de Colombia.
