A definitive approach to outsourcing aircraft maintenance / Jeffrey A. Weaver. by Weaver, Jeffrey A. Subjects Aeronautics -- Safety measures   Airplanes -- Maintenance and repair   Contracting out   Airlines -- United States   MSEM Thesis. Description:  150 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm. Contents:  Thesis advisor: Committee members: World of outsourcing -- Outsourcing impact on air carriers -- Internal analysis of air carriers -- Safety: principle determining factors -- Diversification: dynamics that separate MRO's -- Performance: measurement of operational elements -- Concluding statements -- A: Oversight prioritization tool - work instructions -- B: FAA risk management process - work instructions. Within the next decade, U.S. air carriers are expected to outsource over 70 percent of all maintenance performed on their aircraft. From 37 percent in 1996 to 62 percent in 2006, the airline industry and the FAA are lagging behind the fast-paced outsourcing trend. By utilizing insufficient manpower and oversight mechanisms to properly verify the quality of the work being performed at domestic and international MRO's, the safety of aircraft and the future of air carriers are being compromised. Air carrier auditors continue to use standards to select an MRO that can perform the needed services at the lowest possible price. Systematic to the perceived notion that outsourcing exists o lower costs; aircraft safety and performance are comprised with potentially devastating consequences to air carriers. To reduce the potential for errors in outsourced aircraft maintenance, air carriers must adopt an outsourcing initiative that enables the selection of MRO's to be based on results-driven criteria around safe and reliable practices. A well-planned and developed air carrier maintenance outsourcing initiative must emphasize an MRO audit plan utilizing safety, diversification, and performance as the primary evaluation standards before making a selection based on cost. The purpose of this thesis is to provide an objective analysis on why the imperative elements of safety, diversification, and performance are critical to the air carrier and how they should be incorporated into a predefined list of air carrier outsourcing objectives in order to determine the best possible provider of aircraft maintenance service.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .W425 2008 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
