The Perth Chapter invite you to the next Technical Session:
Asset Management logistics analysis and skills training for Aircraft – a quantitative and risk based approach.
Michael Killeen, 767/747 Fleet Manager Qantas Engineering Operations
Strictly Limited Tickets Available
Almost any industry that manages, maintains and operates simple or complex assets is
challenged to get the right parts, in the right place, at the right time, with the right skills.
The Asset Management Council WA has brought together real examples of how this
challenge is being overcome by Australia’s leading airline and WA’s only RTO in
Aerospace
Technical Presentation by Michael Killeen
Asset intensive industries have struggled to come to terms with spare parts
provisioning and none more so than the commercial aviation industry. Many aspects of
commercial aviation networks make spares provisioning very complex including:
Geographic diversity – many locations often tens of thousands of kilometres from
the main base, Many subfleets operating to the one location, Networks change at least every 6 months, Storage space often constrained or expensive, Large part masters (often comprising over 200 000 parts) and individual parts often shared amongst individual subfleets, Inter-changeability of individual parts and High commercial consequences and brand damage associated with not having spare parts.
This dimensionality precludes any intuitive approach that may have been possible
in the past with smaller less complicated networks.
What is needed is a more quantitative and risk based approach to determining what
should be held in the Line Station ‘nodes’ of these networks. Moreover this approach
must deal with not only the complexities above but a problem that can generate over 2
million different combinations of solution. This paper uses the concept of risk
management to develop a model of Line Station provisioning in commercial aviation
networks and present a number of different quantitative options for solving this
problem.
Facility Presentation on the AeroSpace Training Centre by Steven Sartain
The AeroSpace Training Centre is comprised of two distinct facilities, which includes a
1,500 square metre hangar facility that houses a variety of aircraft including Polytechnic
West’s very own Boeing 737. The Boeing 737 is maintained in a fully serviceable
condition, and used as a non-flying static training facility for students in many of the
training courses, from Pilot Studies, to Cabin Crew, to Aircraft Maintenance, and even
Safety and Ground Handling.
Steven Sartain the Director of the AeroSpace Training Centre for Polytechnic West’s
Jandakot Campus will personally be leading you on a tour of the facility.
