The implementation of Lean techniques in the F-16 modernization program at Air Base 5 involved applying efficient management principles to optimize maintenance and operational processes. This included reorganizing workflows, standardizing procedures, and implementing continuous improvement practices.

With Lean, Air Base 5 managed to increase operational efficiency, reduce aircraft downtime, and improve the overall availability of the F-16 fleet, thus ensuring greater operational readiness while minimizing operational costs.

Lean found its greatest significance through DOCA 4.

DOCA 4 played a crucial role in the program for modifications and upgrades of the F-16 fighters to the MLU standard. Located at Air Base 5, it was responsible for conducting scheduled and unscheduled maintenance inspections, repairs, and deep inspections on the F-16 aircraft, ensuring that the Air Force's F-16 fleet could maintain optimal conditions for effective readiness.

*Lean - LEAN is a management philosophy that involves the entire organization, focusing on the elimination of waste (non-value-added activities) through continuous improvement, affecting the entire organizational chain, reducing costs and delivery times while increasing the quality of services provided.
