The Challenges of Parts Provisioning, Aircraft Configuration and Maintenance

Insights from the Flight Line, Hangar and Engineering Office

Airlines and MRO shops strive to optimize three critical aspects of aircraft maintenance: parts provisioning, configuration management and maintenance plans. The information necessary to optimize each of these disciplines already exists in the form of Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC), Master Parts List (MPL), Maintenance Planning Documents (MPD) and Aircraft/Engine/Component Maintenance Manuals (AMM, EM and CMM). Integrating these information sources, to drive efficiency and lower costs, is a common problem for airlines and MRO shops.

This presentation will discuss three key questions:

1. What are the primary challenges to optimizing aircraft parts provisioning, configuration management and maintenance plans/execution?
2. What are the business implications of these problems?
3. What are the ways that existing information can be leveraged to improve the situation?

In this free webcast, attendees will hear from a leading global airline and other industry experts to understand the scope of provisioning, configuration and maintenance problems and the impact on airline/MRO operations. They will also learn how to address these challenges, to optimize inventory and procurement, configuration management and maintenance planning/execution.
