Introduction
The Maintenance Planning Function is the responsibility of the Operator and Effective Maintenance Planning can contribute significantly to achieving real cost savings within the organization. The training develops an understanding of the opportunities to deliver real savings.
Maintenance has come a long way since the early days when maintenance programs owed more to the perception of the maintenance needs, as opposed to the analyzed and justified needs. In addition, the role of the regulator was also minimal, and in part developed as a result of events, incidents, and accidents. During the end of the first half of the 20th century regulations began to strengthen and the aircraft manufacturer was seen as the appropriate source of the maintenance program development.
The early attempts at effective maintenance (in the 1960s) saw time limits developed which resulted in aircraft being progressively dismantled, in what became known as Hard Time primary maintenance.
This intensive 5 Day course considers best practice processes for accomplishing the various tasks which together make up the challenging role of Maintenance Planning, It is specifically designed for people with direct involvement in Part M Subpart C Planning functions whether in a Management Supervisory or Administrative role.
It will also be of benefit to Quality Audit Staff and persons who normally work within the Part M CAMO environment, particularly if elements of the Maintenance Planning Process are outsourced.
Who is the Course for?
It is for persons who are involved in the technical management of Commercial Aircraft Maintenance Planning (CAMO), Technical Engineering, CAMO Quality Auditors, Reliability, and Technical Records as well as anyone with an interest to achieve an effective interface with an EASA Compliant Maintenance Department.
What is the Benefit of this Training –What will I learn?
a) Have an awareness of the structural composition and impact of EASA Part M Maintenance Planning Regulations.
b) Understanding Organisational Roles and Responsibilities Compliant with the management of the Maintenance Program.
c) Understand the development and approval of the Aircraft Maintenance Program (AMP)
d) Understanding the need to coordinate with Production Planning and availability and the control of approved data.
e) Detailed understanding of options related to Work Planning and Scheduling.
f) Be able to explain how the Maintenance Review Board Process (MRB) Works – MSG 3
g) Understand the Aircraft Certification Process SSA ALI CMR & CDCCL works and how it affects the maintenance program.
h) Have confidence in full EASA compliance and the ability to appreciate the opportunity to optimize the planning process.
i) Be able to demonstrate Part M CAMO Functionality related to Maintenance Planning and to have the knowledge to avoid or mitigate problems
