Your Challenge
Is Our
Mission.

Worldwide demand for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) in commercial aviation will grow by 3-4% annually over the next decade. This puts further pressure on the MRO industry, already faced with tightness in the labor market and an instable supply chain.

Operators have ordered large numbers of new aircraft to accommodate growth and meet their sustainability goals, but these replacement programs will continue for many years. Operators therefore also focus on improving the productivity of their current assets by increasing utilisation and upgrading of cabins. Service lives of existing assets are extended to compensate for delays in the delivery of new assets.

These developments illustrate the challenge that airlines and the MRO industry face in meeting the demand for air transport.

This context calls for a radically different view of the maintenance processes. The MRO industry will undergo a shift from a focus on organizational cost to a focus on process effectiveness (throughput). Ensuring availability of aircraft, components and engines becomes the most important driver for the MRO industry. Deployment of the limited resources (manpower, facilities, materials) is optimized in order to deliver quality and reliability to the operators in the shortest possible time.

The relationship between MRO and operator undergoes a fundamental change. Operator and MRO become partners and jointly define a vision on maintenance with a focus on optimizing asset ground time and optimizing MRO resources, without compromizing quality standards. The current industry trend towards longer term MRO agreements is leading this way forward.

We believe in the improvement potential of the MRO industry to develop a new value proposition that takes into account both the earning potential of the MRO and today's needs of the operators. LEAN MRO solutions is the catalyst that can help industry partners shape this development together with the people in their organizations.

LEAN MRO solutions works with you to design an improvement process that fits your organization and the challenges you face. We train, coach and guide all those involved and do not shy away from rolling up our sleeves. Every step in the change journey follows the PDCA process. This applies to the overall strategy but also to practical adjustments to a workprocess.

If this approach appeals to you, then LEAN MRO solutions is the ideal partner to develop and implement such a process.

We have found that many organizations fail to exploit their human potential. People want to contribute through their improvement ideas to the success of the organization. Unfortunately very often they fail to connect, do not know how, leading to frustration and loss of spirit. We will help you mobilize this hidden power in your organization.

The result: changes that last and contribute to the success of your organization, put you on track for a continuous improvement culture with engaged and motivated people.

Together with you and your team we develop a customized program built on agreed improvement initiatives at every level in your organization. Everybody engages and contributes. Everybody will be trained and continuously coached by management and the LEAN MRO solutions team. The organization's change team and the LEAN MRO solution team ensure feedback, evaluation and adjustment take place at frequent intervals.
