Schierk & Bechtloff still lagging behind.
Small and middle-sized airlines have reduced inhouse
maintenance activities in order to control costs and low-cost
carriers tend to outsource their MRO work completely. From
Line Maintenance to Base Maintenance, from component and
engine repair, modification and overhaul to engineering the
maintenance activties outsourced are subject to the airline's
business model, fleet size and composition and the overall
long term economics. Hence the type of contracts with the
maintenace service provider can be very different. Subject to
the airlines profile (size, location, aircraft type, fleet size etc)
and its mid to long term aspirations the best contract for the
airlines particular needs has to be concluded.

Material Management is becoming more and more a
crucial cost driver. Latest trends in MRO contracting reflect the
extension of the popular "Power by the Hour" for component
maintenance, repair and overhaul to include the spares
provisioning and supply as well. This transfer of primarily
fixed costs into variable costs provides extra flexibility to the
airlines.
The Workshop will sketch out the various possibilities of
designing a suitable contract tailored to your company and
highlight recent trends in MRO contracting.
Participants will gain insights in how to:
 Design flexible contracts
 Adjust contracts in order to minimise costs in material
management
The workshop gives a precise overview of the implementation
process for a maintenance system, specifically e-maintenance.
Participants of the workshop will learn to:
 Manage scheduled and unscheduled maintenance
actvities
 Manage part inventories and trace inventory processes
and purchasing processes
 Coordinate supply chain management
 Maintain outsource contractor data
