| Aircraft Motors & Parts (AMP) Engine Management Program was started in Cooperation with a major leasing company. It has been improved and expanded over the years and has resulted in savings of approximately $100,000 per engine overhaul (i.e. engine heavy maintenance). It is used on Aircraft Motors & Parts own engines and those of many of its clients. |
| |
| Briefly Aircraft Motors & Parts Management Program consists of four (4) major elements to restore an engine to serviceable condition: |
| |
Scope the work: to eliminate unnecessary work, Aircraft Motors & Parts specialists coordinate with the Customer's Powerplant Engineering staff to determine what tasks should be done (e.g. What modules should be penetrated? Which disks should be changed?) to meet the intended use of the engine. Aircraft Motors & Parts Program includes a work scope that is jointly developed with the customer to ensure cost effective specifications on work to be accomplished.
|
| |
Teardown the engine: Aircraft Motors & Parts (AMP) will tear down the engine (per customers work scope) and only send the affected module (i.e. HPC, LPC) to the shop for repair. The remaining modules will be routed to the shop for continued time inspection. Once the engine is assembled, the shop will route the engine for test as per manufacturers specifications.
|
| |
Buy the parts direct. The owner/operator purchases the engine parts directly from Aircraft Motors & Parts (AMP) at far less cost than if the engine repair facility provides it. This is the cornerstone of Aircraft Motors & Parts Program. Aircraft Motors & Parts (AMP) will provide supervision and control of the work performed by the repair facility on the engines.
Following the repair of each engine, Aircraft Motors & Parts will scrutinize the invoice submitted by the repair facility to ensure that it conforms precisely with the work done and that there are no overcharges.
|
| |
Closely supervise the repair facility. In point 1 we scoped the work. Here, Aircraft Motors & Parts (AMP) supervises the work to make sure that the scoped repair is done in the most cost effective way (e.g., that a part is not scrapped when a new repair is available, that an expensive repair is not done when it is less expensive to repair the part).
Then, we scrutinize the repair facility invoice for errors and overcharges. For each engine repaired where Aircraft Motors & Parts (AMP) provides the parts, there shall be no charge for the engineering and management services performed (e.g., to help Customer determine the scope of work, to supervise the repair facility). Compensation for these services is included in the price of the parts provided by Aircraft Motors & Parts (AMP).
