Case study
Reducing Aircraft Maintenance Time Aircraft MRO
We partnered with a specialist airline operator in the process of carrying out critical fleet maintenance enabling them to increase availability, profitability and help secure the future of an existing contract.
Our Impact
Client challenge
26% Reduction in days taken to carry out heavy maintenance visits
Eight months
Completed diagnostic, identified opportunity to improve turnarounds by 38%, across maintenance, planning and supply chain
The client’s projected maintenance schedule was unachievable at current productivity levels, which would have led to lost availability and therefore flying revenue during a key contract negotiation period.
Delivered 4 workstreams to reduce maintenance time:
Optimised maintenance plan to ensure work orders are grouped efficiently, preventing lost days
Redesigned system of work to ensure sufficient enabled work, and tasking process to ensure engineers always able to be deployed productively
Complexities
Individuals working to the redesigned system of work 130+
$60m+
Acute global skills shortage in engineering workforce and unionised environment
Driving part availability through improved demand signal to supplier, stock and supplier management
Risk avoided due to productivity increase for heavy maintenance visits
Ensuring all managers have appropriate skills across technical, operations & people capabilities to manage and motivate their teams
Spares could only be sourced from one supplier due to contractual exclusivity clause
Handover of co-designed capability to client team to ensure sustainability of changes
