| Safety & Regulatory Landscape | Standardization in MRO Globalization of MRO has led to increasing costs and compliance concerns as operators and businesses have to comply with different standards in dealing with FAA, ICAO, EASA, etc. What progress is being made, and who is taking the lead to help standardize regulations and procedures in different parts of the world? What are the costs to comply with all these standards, and how can they be reduced?
|
| Efficiency & Profitability sponsored by Cribmaster/Winware  |
The Value Proposition of Parts Having just the right amount of parts and materials on-hand for the surge in demand is critical to its success. What innovative tools are suppliers and MRO organizations implementing to more accurately control flow and inventory? How are suppliers and MROs providing transparency into their on-demand inventory? What options are out there for OEMs—new or repaired parts, and what does that do to the value of the engine, etc. This session will also present the results of a survey on factors that influence spares forecasting, focusing on organizational responsibility, internal / external data and drivers, business processes and forecasting frameworks.
|
| MRO Trends sponsored by InfoTrust Group  |
Destocking and Deferred Maintenance Communication between suppliers and operators on these key issues is crucial. What are the airlines’ plans and how they are coping with economic travails and uncertainties? What are their strategies for engine maintenance, etc. in order to prevent a bow wave of maintenance in the future when and if they go back to “normal” operations? Or will they? Will they replenish their inventory levels or might the current levels be permanent? What are the airlines’ maintenance strategies in light of challenging economic times?

Drawing Intelligence from Data It’s a fact: whoever best manages data will be the most efficient. Come find out the latest strategies on aircraft and MRO data management and the most cutting-edge enablers to process and deliver data for faster decision-making intelligence.
|
| 10:30 a.m. | Exhibition Hall Opens |
| 11:00 a.m. | Track Sessions 2: |
| Safety & Regulatory Landscape | Safety Management Systems FAA and international regulations going into effect will require certificated organizations to implement SMS. Processes and practices could, in effect, extend to non-certificated organizations in parts, supply and MRO enterprises. How will these companies coordinate to meet the intent and goals of the SMS, which some view as new, and some as largely a codification of existing risk- and data-based safety programs.

It’s Not A Drag Getting Old Certain segments of commercial aviation fleet are aging or traditionally have been “the elders”. That brings issues associated with maintaining older and out of production aircraft, finding spare parts, continuing MRO capabilities for obsolete aircraft, and more. How can MROs and operators manage their aging aircraft “gracefully”? How are operators preparing for the significant increases in heavy checks and non-routine write-ups?
|
| MRO Trends sponsored by InfoTrust Group |
Training, Aging, and the Future of the MRO Workforce Find out the latest in effective maintenance training and what programs are being used to teach new procedures such as composite repairs, electrical architecture, etc. How are companies dealing with the looming scarcity of seasoned technicians and how can they find qualified maintenance staff? What incentives will make MRO careers more attractive to the next generation? What is needed in terms of education, training, career choices, and more?
|
| Customer Service & Innovation sponsored by AirLiance materials |
Growing Role of Aircraft OEMs in MRO Gold Care, Total Care, and other similar programs are fairly new buzzwords in MRO. What do these programs mean for suppliers? How will this alter the supply chain if it is focused on aircraft OEMs? Will the business model change, especially for the largest suppliers? And how do airlines feel about the total care models and their capabilities to deliver?
|
| 12:00 p.m. | Track Sessions 3: |
| Safety & Regulatory Landscape | Safety on the Front Lines This session will showcase the very latest innovations and best practices in workplace safety in shops and line maintenance, including the role of human factors.

|
| Efficiency & Profitability sponsored by Cribmaster/Winware |
Visibility in a Global Supply Chain In an age of globalization of MROs, how do you keep visibility and information sharing of material flow throughout the supply chain? Whether it is across supply chain partners, or through departments within an organization or shop floor, supply chain visibility helps break down geographical barriers, streamline logistical procedures, and eliminate unnecessary disruptions.
