Problem

Scenario

You have been asked to improve aircraft turnaround time at major airport hubs. The operation spans gate operations, cabin cleaning, fueling, catering, baggage handling, crew readiness, and pushback, so delays often cascade across teams. Before recommending changes, you need a structured way to diagnose where time is being lost, align airport and operations stakeholders on root causes, and define what success should look like.

Question

What framework would you use to analyze the airline's current turnaround operations and propose solutions?
