Traditional Lean v/s Discovery Approach MRO
Discovery approach how it differs from traditional Lean Approach :
Traditional Lean Initiatives eliminate wasted movement of People, parts
& information in routine work.
Traditional Lean Initiatives are not sufficient: To uncover and mitigate a
fundamental source of waste that drives turn around times higher.
Routine work has little to no critical path impact on overall project
turnaround times.
Even before the completion of routine tasks, start of non-routine works
will result in Effective TAT Improvement.

36. 36
Turn around time for any defect / servicing should be least
•Requirement for availability of equipments is endless in terms of
demand
•Customer wants best for the buy
•Wants product to be maintenance free
•Response to all support on real time basis
•Any / all spares should made available in hours
•Logistics and trained man power
•Turn around of Rotables and spares Requirement is to only operate,
all aspects Maintenance by OEM or third party
•On line support for every problem incl. Trouble shooting
MRO Challenges

MRO Approaches by Global Leaders
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics
 MRO mean
 gentle correction. It’s not MRO for AC. it’s sustainment.
Modularity of Design to reduce support dependency on MRO with
goal of minimizing and / or eliminating failures.
For failures that cannot be eliminated, fault to be isolated quickly &
timely corrective actions for repair at unit level be provided.
To move toward sustainment, prognostics & health management
information systems will be relied.
System supported F-35 Aircraft, with onboard systems recording
and analyzing data from initial tests through flight testing. The data
will be critical for fleet operation.
 Focus is not on repair of a sub-system or unit. Instead, specific part
is replaced in field and decision to repair or permanently replace is
made outside operational envelope. This strategy minimizes need for
extensive skill training at unit level.

Boeing
 
•Data & resulting information used to improve maintenance, extend life,
improve vehicle readiness & availability, reduce operating costs. 

•For any operator, use of IVHM can provide long-term cost benefits and
advantages over competitors.
• It takes existing concepts of Maintenance and Repair and Overhaul
(MRO) one step further.
•It differs from those concepts in that it looks at whole vehicle, regularly
sensing and evaluating vehicle operation, updating a ground based
operations control centre to enable better decisions on operation
schedule and effectiveness of a fleet of vehicles.

•MRO Service Providers to Focus on Providing Quality Service Deliverables at
Low Costs
•Fleet operators are increasingly trying to identify service providers that can
provide total service packages including material and parts supply, integrated
information system process, and infrastructure.
•MROs
  are likely strive to provide the entire gamut of services.
•Turn-around-time of maintenance and service is becoming
  the prime focus for
all MROs to sustain the existing client base.
•In a notable trend, last few years have seen an out performance in the MRO
sector. It has shown emergence of very secular growth which is set to
continue till foreseeable future in respect of following:-
In-house parts repair to minimize engine overhaul cost
Recent Trend

62. 62
Repair to minimize parts
  scrappage
Engine parts exchange
In-house capability for repair / overhaul of engine accessories, while engine
is in-work, to shorten turn around time and provide a more cost effective
service.
Advanced processes and repair techniques developed by specially qualified
engineering.
 
•The worldwide fleet size is showing steady growth. It is forecasted 4.1
percent annual growth in new aircraft deliveries over the next 10 years.
•The supply-chain inventory holdings are shifting from the operators and
becoming more supplier-owned. Evidence of this trend is the fact that the
supplier-owned inventory grew from 25 percent to nearly 40 percent since
1997, a 60 percent increase.

•Similarly Deccan Air has consolidated its position as Servicing of Bell Helicopters in
India
MRO forcast- New Deliveries

66. 66
Indian MRO doing engine , component maintenance, line maintenance, Maintenance of Tx &
other rotables,
 airframe , modifications developed threshold competencies satisfying end-user
& regulatory requirements.
However, entry of newer participants in this high-growth market is likely to lead to increased
competition in future products.
This will compel Indian companies to proactively invest in expanding its competencies even
further.
They need to work innovatively in both providing services and creating competitive pricing
strategies
It should be imperative for Indian companies to diversify to new MRO product as a long term
objective.
Cutting Edge technologies and
 upgrade in facilities will enable them to support the pitch in
this direction. 
Approach to MRO from Indian perspective

67. 67
Developing a total solution portfolio is a key success factor.
  Competitive
Pricing Combined with High Quality Critical for Success. Indian MRO companies
should be
  able to offer a comprehensive portfolio of service products and 
suitably position itself as long-term strategic partner to the operators adopting
the favoured outsourcing strategy.
 
Vision in consolidating Technology, New Projects, broad based Outsourcing,
ERP etc. are sine quo non for
 competitive edge.
