HOW DOES THE “MAINTENANCE WORKFLOW” FUNCTION?
WHAT TYPE OF MAINTENANCE SYSTEM DO YOU HAVE?
Quite a few maintenance managers responsible for an aircraft’s maintenance have given up their prerogatives to some old-fashioned maintenance tracking system which dictates the way maintenance should be dealt with, with the blessing of the OEM.
It’s an easy and costly way out for an operator / owner. The system is perfectly designed to give the results that you get.
No cost control. Because, a one size fit all is never a solution. Pure common sense.
So, what is the true cost of an aircraft maintenance?
How do you transform quality from a cost center to a profit center?
This is what really defines the true cost of your maintenance system.
Before reaching a better way, through a new generation maintenance tracking system to nurture your aircraft, and capitalize on the full potential of the “Maintenance “Workflow” intuitive function, a few things needed had to be cleared.
At the beginning of the Colibry concept, an effort had to be made to facilitate at all levels the understanding of an aircraft being managed maintenance-wise.
The blocking points were:
- Lack of visibility of the aircraft.
- Lack of understanding how the AMM works.
- Lack of quick and precise information on relationships between AMM tasks and accesses and the related cost factors.
- Lack of self-monitoring due to the absence of proper available tools.
- Lack of traceability before the age of AI.
- Lack of quick access to independent advice instead of those of an OEM and MRO who keep the monopoly of data.
- Lack of communication among all stakeholders where data is held like a rare commodity, which is really not.
We had to find a way to compound all this knowledge into one single piece of software as a solution.
The solution.
Additional tools came completing the workflow ease. MessengAIR ©, ATAEZY ©, and the aircraft digital clone. These complete the compound interest with a multi-disciplinary design optimization approach.
No matter the maintenance plan you choose to abide with, you have at the tip of your finger a powerful tool that provides ease of planning, monitoring, calibrating, choosing easily where you would like to land for those to be handed with, and making a real difference in cost control while always having the pulse of the maintenance valuation.
No current system provides a preset of the AMM tasks, accesses, relevant cost factors, comparison with an OEM recommended maintenance plan, all limitations, life limits and tolerances. Up to date.
With the SDSDP, one week is needed to implement your aircraft on the system including its historical data.
Customized aircraft maintenance program is cost control, even more when it is comforted by the MSG-3. It’s an intelligent approach to maintenance in terms of selecting tasks that are effective. The choice of an operator’s maintenance program is predicated on many variables, key among them is cost, technical knowledge & skill, and operational profile. A customized maintenance program takes into account the actual aircraft usage, for example the number of cycles and average flight duration per day. This planning process minimizes the cost of each check and often extends the intervals between maintenance events to the benefit of the customer, improving operational reliability.
One of the primary objectives of a customized maintenance program is to achieve maximum utilization of task intervals.
Maintaining an aircraft has never been easy, that even a younger generation could play around with, just like a video game, and understand what we’re talking about.
So why not use the time to spend it with them instead?
