MRO IT: Ensuring Success on IT Implementation & Adoption

Sponsored by

Phased approach for an efficient, successful mobile integration.

1. Mission analysis – determine what you want to improve with implementation.


2. Business process definition – analyze your processes, and how mobility would fit into the process.
   ➢Quantify the purported improvements. Determine costs and project/implementation leader.


3. After determining what would be improved through mobility, define the implementation challenges (connectivi-
   ty, hardware, price, unions, regulatory) and subsequent solutions.


4. Proof of Concept (PoC).


5. Go / No-Go decision.


6. Implementation.

Determine where technology should be developed in the short-term.

IP / Security / Sharing vs. Not Sharing

(Commercial).

Data →Standards (Spec2000, RFID,

Authentication).

• Expounded (IATA e-initiative).

In-house capability

• Value – Project management, DSS
  (using big data), (down arrow) costs,
  compliance, transferability (asset life-
  cycle management).


• Stakeholders – OEM, MRO, Airline, Regulator (EASA, FAA, etc.).


• Challenges – Culture, Interoperability, ERP/MRO IT System, Processes to use data.
  Biggest drivers and justifiers on upgrades or new technology adoption.


• Compliance - IT always gets funded when it is a safety issue because it has executive buy-in.


• ROI. Avoidance of a cost opportunity.


• Interoperability – all the stakeholders to work and communicate effectively.
  Determining where the next IT investment needs to be.


• Governance framework (i.e. data sharing, data security, data standards) is critical as it is needed for integration
  across the supply chain.
  o When has governance lead IT, they only catch up?


• Challenges around the standard of data, shared vs not shared. Less about the technology and more about the
  support process (standardization and governance).
