Introduction
The Maintenance Error Decision Aid (MEDA) process was developed by Boeing and is a proven and effective tool, for not only investigating the various causal factors but in also developing mitigations.
The basic MEDA philosophy is based on an understanding that people do not intentionally make errors and that organizational factors play a significant and contributory role.
It is widely recognized that the majority of causal and contributory factors leading to an error can be managed. In addition, developing root cause understandings leads to a wider and more effective mitigation process. This training takes the understanding of the entire MEDA process to a deeper level and supports the Train the Trainer process so that following the training the Delegate will be able to:
a) Develop a comprehensive understanding of the MEDA process;
b) Understand effective techniques for training your own employees in the implementation of MEDA systems.
Maintenance Error Decision Aid (MEDA) Train the Trainer is a 3-day industry-specific training aimed at Training, Quality, and Safety Personnel who have responsibility for implementing, managing, or training Incident and Accident investigation and mitigation processes.
Who is the course for?
It is for anyone with an interest in getting deeper into EASA Part 145 Maintenance Error Decision Aid from newcomers to Post Holders.
Basically, the course will be of interest to Key personnel in Aircraft Maintenance wishing to understand the process and methodology related to maintenance error management.
Consider that understanding the MEDA process is the starting point – The real advantage is optimizing the business in the best way whilst remaining fully compliant with the EASA Part 145 requirements program.
What is the Benefit of this Training – What will I learn?
a) Awareness of the structural composition and impact of EASA Part 145 Maintenance Error on the Organisation.
b) Understand the forces driving 145 Maintenance Errors to focus your business decision process on improved engagement with employees.
c) Ability to consider changes driven by MEMS Part and how they impact your specific organization.
d) Confidence in detailed knowledge of the key components of MEMS.
e) Have the knowledge to be able to implement MEMS within an Organization.
