NEVER FORGET YOUR WINGS ACADEMY
Learn everything you need to know about aircraft maintenance, material, and supply chain.
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.
Aircraft maintenance is stressful. But who am I kidding, you know this, right?
It's where you spend a large chunk of your operating budget, and where 95% of your stress occurs.
Or maybe not...
Do you want better terms for your aircraft part repairs?
Of course you do. Me too.
The good news is, you don't need an MBA of finance degree to make it happen. With a little will, a quality relationship and persistence, you can get it done.
Have you ever had a Repair Order not ship because your finance team didn't pay? Or was overdue?
Of course you have! And now you're stuck. Scrambling for a solution. You need your aircraft material. Your MRO needs their money. Now what?
Yet, it happens every day.
I've been on a number of these calls. I get how stressful it is.
You'll often hear small talk among your co-workers about how awful turn-around-times (TAT) are. They're a constant headache, almost as much as an AOG.
Believe me, you're not alone.
Let's face it, shipping aircraft parts to and from your facility is vital for your aircraft maintenance planning initiatives. But without a clear plan, money could be leaking out in unexpected places.
Who likes wasteful spending? Not me and I can bet you don't either.
Think about how much you spend and ask yourself how excited you would be if you could reduce this cost by 25%. Is that possible?
Dealing with the repair of your aircraft spare components can be in large, a waste of your time.
If you suffer from exhaustion because the communication between you and the 20+ repair shops you deal with is poor, you're not alone.
Manpower and time are scarce, so why go chasing the world for a simple update? You need communication, delegation, and deliberation. It's difficult to achieve this alone.
I have good news for you.
Repair management is one of the best
