| 8:00 am | Registration & Continental Breakfast |
| 8:30 am | Welcome and Opening Keynote
|
| 9:00 am | Marketplace Update |
| Inventory We take a look at the market in relation to inventory management. How does the approach differ in different regions? Are some markets more mature than others? Do different airline segments apply different asset management strategies or is it down to an airline philosophy? What has been the approach and how do Aerostrategy predict the market will change in the next 5 – 10 years?
|
|
| Engines We also get the latest on the engine asset management market. How are the OEMs and leasing companies working together with customers and MROs? Where are the opportunities? What are the latest trends? What is happening in relation to pooling and full solutions? How is this market evolving over the next 5 – 10 years?
|
|
| 9:45 am | The Shift in Supply Chain Solutions With extensive holding costs tied up in inventory, the market is seeing a wide range of options opening up to airlines to help them manage these assets cost-effectively. Many new creative asset management strategies are emerging offering integrated global supply chain solutions. We ask some of the leaders in this field what is the value proposition of each of these solutions?
|
| 10:45 am | Break |
| 11:15 am | Making the Right Choice How do you decide whether to own or lease? Is a simple pooling arrangement or a total holistic outsourced approach right for your airline? It’s about cost optimization, risk mitigation and cash management. We look at the pros and cons of each of the options. We hear from some operators on why they chose specific strategies and what were the challenges involved.
|
| 12:00 pm | Networking Lunch |
| 1:30 pm | Financing that Fits - Inventory / Engines So you want the best solution to help manage your inventory and engines. A solution that supports your operation seamlessly but also reduces your ownership costs and helps boost profits? We hear about the integrated finance and technical management packages on offer and the funding available from experts in the fields of Inventory & Engine Financing and Management
|
| 2:30 pm | Predicting the Unpredictable How do you optimize the planning process to ensure you have the right asset in the right place at the right time? New methodologies are emerging to improve the forecasting process. We hear about one of the new technology solutions available and explore how this has helped companies in the aviation industry to get the most from their inventory.
|
| 3:15 pm | Break |
| 3:30 pm | Panel Discussion: Structuring Effective Agreements When dealing with inventory and engine asset management, there are many aspects to be considered when structuring agreements. For example, if assets are leased, there may be conditions which dictate how you have to operate to avoid costly end of lease penalties or there may be terms which affect your ability to select a pooling arrangement. Also, how do you include performance measurement so that it can be a win-win for both sides? In this session, our panel discusses how can Finance and Technical departments work jointly with Suppliers and Lessors to shape agreements that are in touch with reality and don’t end up as a financial burden or an operational constraint.
|
| 4:30 pm | Value Engineering No longer have the Accountants the monopoly on managing the bottom line! Commercial imperative is very much alive and well on the Engineering side of the house. Technical assets are recognized for their ROI value and both airlines and MROs are protecting the value of assets and getting more from their assets through modifications, upgrades and repairs.

| 5:15 pm | Cocktail Reception |
| DAY TWO - Friday May 27, 2011 | |
| 8:00 am | Continental Breakfast |
| 8:30 am | Opening Address
|
| 9:00 am | Inventory and Engine Appraisal How do you determine the fair market value of your assets? What are the methodologies available to depreciate inventory and engines so that you mitigate any residual value risk? Also, in the case of large assets such as engines what would an Appraiser look for in determining the real value versus the fair market value?
|
| 9:50 am | Break |
| 10:00 am | Panel Discussion: Technical Asset Control There are many challenges involved in managing assets and pooling arrangements. In this session, our Panel discusses issues such as interchangeability of parts, PMA parts, management of documentation and traceability. How does it differ for inventory and engines and how do you protect the value of your assets.
|
| 10:45 am | New Technologies for Smart Rotable Control Inventory Asset Management is going paperless. Both the B787 and the A350 will introduce the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) to transfer and store data for maintenance-significant parts of their aircraft. This fully integrated technology management system will result in automatic traceability (back to birth) and reduce cycle times for maintenance. But it doesn’t have to be exclusive to new aircraft parts. We hear about what is happening in the marketplace today and what the future has in store.
