Named American Legend Aircraft Company's Director Of
Manufacturing
American Legend Aircraft Company Friday announced the
appointment of Bryan Hurley as its Vice President of Manufacturing.
Legend was formed in 2004 expressly to design and manufacture the
Legend Cub light-sport aircraft. The Legend Cub is similar in
appearance to the celebrated, and out-of-production, Piper Cub.
Hurley is a highly experienced manufacturing engineer and will be
charged with leading production of the Legend Cub.
Bryan Hurley is a 15-year manufacturing veteran. He holds a B.S.
in Manufacturing Engineering from Texas A&M
University—consistently ranked one of the top engineering
schools in the country. Prior to joining Legend, Hurley worked as a
Manufacturing/Engineering Manager in a variety of industries. There
he implemented the continuous improvement techniques and quality
standards systems that will be fully utilized by Legend. His
project management skills and experience with proven methods such
as Kaizen, Lean Manufacturing, and ISO 9000, will be instituted in
the production of the Legend Cub.
"I have learned from the best manufacturing consultants in the
world. The Toyota Production System has been the manufacturing
benchmark for decades. Its foundation is the elimination of waste
through continuous improvement activities. It is used to gain a
competitive advantage." Hurley added, "I worked closely with some
tough birds (Japanese consultants). One of their favorite phrases
was 'creativity before capital.' We continuously looked for ways to
improve the process, to make the manufacturing function more
efficient. This required getting everyone involved. The results
were huge costs savings. Legend represents an exciting challenge
for me at this time in my career."
