Does it drive you crazy when a repair station makes excuses about your repair order?
You’ve sent your aircraft part/s in for repair, yet you spend more time than you’d like trying to get a valid update.
You have to call, email, and follow-up to get status on your repair work order. Once you get a hold of someone, the reply sounds like…
You’ve been there….
when your MRO is really stringent on their processes and procedures that they have very little wiggle room on how things get done.
Yes, quality is incredibly important but it doesn’t always help you solve your problems or meet your operational goals.
One of the top qualities in an MRO that makes them a unicorn is the trait of flexibility.
It’s a hidden treasure. Flexibility is often very difficult to find… but when you do, it’s golden.
Of course, policies and procedures have their place, and in many cases they’re there for a good reason.
But not if it hinders getting your job done the fastest, most affordable way possible.
You’ve probably been in a situation before where you sent your aircraft part to a repair station, and what they told you wasn’t at all what they delivered. You were duped, and it’s a recurring theme. In this 6-minute video, I’ll go over the key questions you can ask to ensure you’re working with an honest partner.
Honesty and trust. It sounds so simple, but it rather complicated, especially if it’s a new relationship. If you can work with a repair partner who’s honest and you build a trust-based relationship, this can save you a lot of frustration. Here are three ways you can screen your repair partner and determine if they’re honest.
Do you dread sourcing and processing your aircraft part repairs? You have hundreds of options, but you may have been tricked into sending your parts in for repair only to find out the repair partner was unreliable. In this short video, I’ll introduce you to the series in which I’m going to teach you exactly what to look for when selecting your next repair partner.
Hundreds of part numbers. A dozen ATA chapters. And an overabundance of possible MROs, all over the world.
Being connected to many executives for large operators, I hear about this problem constantly.
One minute you have a repair requirement, and the next you have 20 repair orders to ship, follow-up on, and approve.
It's the constant source, process, chase, trace and ultimately, MRO babysit doom and gloom.
All of your success balances on the best type of repair. Overspend and you don't fly, underspend and you have parts falling from the sky.
Neither is a good scenario for you.
So what do you do? You focus a lot of your time and money on asset repairs. The most common repair pricing structures are time & material (T&M) and fixed rate.
Have you ever received an aircraft component repair work order and wondered, how in the world did the price get so high?
The repair facility quoted you an average overhaul cost, but for some reason, your work order quote is twice the average.
You review the work order thoroughly but to no surprise, there are no over and beyond parts.
