Airman 1st Class Haneul Kwon, 35th Maintenance Squadron aircraft metals technology journeyman, grinds a piece of metal at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Oct. 25, 2021. Kwon is a part of a flight that has implemented the Theory of Constraints (TOC), a mentality shift that improves workflow by removing unnecessary maintenance multitasking, which ultimately reduces the number of aircraft in a “work-in-progress” status.
