Project Summary

Managing engine maintenance standards and costs during shop visit repair processes is fundamental to maintaining residual values, maximizing marketability and on-wing performance / reliability of the aircraft.

With the rising costs of engine shop visits and the on-going search for ever-improved flight operations efficiency, the search for the best provider of shop visit management services is of paramount importance for any airline or general aviation operator.

Airsource Partners is proud to be in a position to offer the services of a shop visit management services provider of international renown through its Aviation Expertise Marketplace.


Project Description
Effective and efficient engine shop visit management proposed by selected MRO experts. Services are performed by a group of in-house commercially focused engineering professionals fully conversant with your asset management requirements, operating leases and build standard expectations. The services provided in close cooperation with the airline management team will eventually lead to the reduction of the shop visit costs.

The following services can be provided:

=> Removal reason / technical status review (maintenance and performance)
=> Engine work-scope definition to achieve build and lease objectives
=> Engine shop incoming inspection oversight
=> Disassembly control “dirty condition inspection” – Work scope amendment
=> Material management (80% of maintenance costs)
=> Timely technical, commercial and financial decision making
=> Test cell overview / review
=> Engine release paperwork verification
=> Invoice review and negotiation
=> Warranty claims and material scrap review.



MAINTAIN RELIABILITY AND REDUCE COSTS EXPOSURE

Services are provided by an experienced and highly professional engineering staff handling the complete logistic as well as the technical, financial and commercial control throughout the entire process.

Engine work scopes (operating and lease conditions) and build material objectives (run vs. new) are optimized in order to minimize engine maintenance cost exposure and the cost of ownership. As a consequence the airline’s management team is relieved from a major operational burden and will be able to focus its attention on more strategic and other pressing issues.

Comprehensive reporting is performed throughout all stages of the shop visit in order to ensure 100% visibility of the entire process.

Work scope control in the engine shop combined with effective and continuous process control can easily lead to savings of about USD 75,000 per engine per shop visit, with extra savings on parts supplies not taken into account in this estimate.
