Introduction
The Maintenance Control Centre (MCC) is essentially the hub of the CAMO and acts as the primary interface with the Operations and Maintenance (145) Department Business Areas
The typical role of a Maintenance Control Centre in a medium organisation is to manage the “in service” activities of the aircraft
– MCC light (MCC light little involvement in Work packages)
MCC heavy manages the oversight of the maintenance and many options in between for example – work package assignment to maintenance, repair and overhaul organisations (MROs) and aircraft on ground (AOG) spares supply. Again multiple solutions based on the organisations constraints
In a smaller organisation MCC is often integrated into the full CAMO management process
The Maintenance Control Centre usually interfaces with Operations Control Centre to ensure the maximum availability of aircraft and to minimise maintenance downtime.
Primary activities include many of the following
· Reliability & Engineering (CAMO) Technical Support AD / SB
· Continuous Assessment of Deferred Maintenance Items and Trouble Shooting
· Maintenance planning and layover coordination including priority of maintenance activities as well as work (package) assignment to maintenance AMO
· AOG support, Coordination & Minimum equipment list dispatch control
This 3 Day Overview Course considers all elements required to develop either an MCC Heavy or Light function.
