Introduction
Aircraft maintenance is interpreted as the activity in sustaining an aircraft to its serviceable condition in the manners of inspection, repair, overhaul, replacing or modification of an aircraft component. The aviation industry also needs a systematic management in terms of organizing the maintenance activity. A proper management helps the organization to sets up a good reputation in term of providing a decent business service. In addition, an organization develop their own complex methodology to maintenance requires modern administration both in the advancement of the beginning maintenance program and at its usage by the industry. In part, this methods responding to real mishaps by making forceful move to anticipate similar accidents, yet without taking away from continuous security projects to address other risks. Almost all aircraft accidents are caused by a chain of events, the elimination of any one of which could have prevented the accident. The most regular link in these chains involves human factors (pilots, air traffic controllers, maintenance crews, etc.). However, in some cases, one or more links in the accident chain are linked with the design of the aircraft. Either a management deficiency results in an equipment malfunction that leads to an accident, or a design improvement could have prevented a surprising event from resulting in an accident. For those reasons, an aviation organization need to be organized in accordance with the regulatory requirements to avoid accidents thus maintaining the financial of the business.

...on whether or not an organization has to outsource a part of their business is a difficult one, and should not be taken lightly. Finding for short-term cost savings is not a bad idea, but choosing a step based solely on cost reduction or tactical problems is a short-term solution and will weaken a company's potential for long term achievement. The organization should have sufficient management skills and the capability to adapt new behaviours and processes to effectively manage an external part of their business. These skills should include knowledge of management abilities and a enthusiasm to apply them to a new and more challenging situation. Implicit knowledge must specifically be considered when planning a critical strategy, particularly if the component of the business to be outsourced by now exists internally and valuable institutional knowledge will be lost.
Outsourcing simply means acquiring services from an external organization instead of using internal resources (Butler, 2000). By using outsourced resources, organizations can gain a competitive advantage by utilizing contingent staff to accomplish strategic goals without incurring the fixed overhead. By focusing on the leading edge and highly specialized skill sets, outsourcing providers can often offer higher quality services, or at a lower price than the client organization. Typical reasons for outsourcing go beyond simple contingent staffing. Outsourcing providers are able to maintain economies of scale with regard to specialization (...
Firstly legislation is a law or a group of acts designed to fulfil various uses such as enforcing the law, to control processes, permit and to constrict some activities so that everything goes along more smoothly and to put in place a higher of level of accountability.
After World War II there was an excess of aircraft and trained pilots in the United States, which significantly increase in private and commercial flights. An increase in the use of private aircraft and large passenger planes meant an increase in the possibly of aircraft safety incidents. Even though safety measures had been put in place to tend to large number of aircraft in the skies, in late 1950’s there were two unfortunate accidents that finally led to legislation that would be a major change to the world of aviation that affects us even today. The introduction of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 spurred several changes in aviation that eventually led to the creation of the Federal Aviation Administration.
...ial approaches which are Normal Accident and HROs, although it seems certain that both of them tends to limit the progression that can contribute toward achieving to highly protective systems. This is because the scope of the problems is too narrow and the potential of the solutions is too limited as well. Hence, Laporte and Consolini et.al., (1991) as cited in Marais, et.al., (2004) conclude that the most interesting feature of the high reliability organization is to prioritize both performance and security by the managerial oversight. In addition, the goal agreement must be an official announcement. In essence, it is recommended that there is a continuing need in the high risk organizations for more awareness of developing security system and high reliability environment in order to gain highly successful method to lower risk in an advance technology system.
Outsourcing is a technique for companies to reassign specific responsibilities to external entities. There are several motivations for outsourcing including organizational, improvement, cost, and revenue advantages (Ghodeswar & Vaidyanathan, 2008).
After studying the Aloha aircraft accident in 1933, our group is interested in the investigation in Human performances factors in maintenance and inspection. We have divided the investigation into 5 aspects:
Safety in the ethics and industry of aerospace technology is of prime importance for preventing tragic malfunctions and crashes. Opposed to automobiles for example, if an airplane breaks down while in mid-flight, it has nowhere to go but down. And sadly it will often go down “hard” and with a high probability of killing people. The Engineering Code of Ethics states first and foremost that, “Engineers shall hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public.” In the aerospace industry, this as well holds very true, both in manufacturing and in air safety itself. Airline safety has recently become a much-debated topic, although arguments over air safety and travel have been going ...
Outsourcing has been around for many years. In this paper, I will discuss some of the history of outsourcing, the good things about outsourcing, and the bad things about outsourcing. Outsourcing is important because many companies rely on it in order to get many different products and services to their facility on time and in good shape. Outsourcing is a huge part of the business industry today. Any business can be affected by outsourcing.
Introduction Plane crashes occur for a number of reasons. There seems to be a consensus with the general public that flying is dangerous, engines fail and planes crash. That is true sometimes, although the majority of plane crashes occur largely due to a combination of human error and mechanical failure. In many aviation accidents mechanical failure has been a contributing factor. It is impossible, however, to blame plane crashes on one reason, since events leading up to an accident are so varied.
In this study, the aim is to provide information and knowledge more on aircraft maintenance safety precautions and procedures in dealing with ground handling, general maintenance like working at height, working in confined spaces, moving suspended loads, aircraft refuelling or de-fuelling, ground de-icing/anti-icing and so on.
Legislation (i.e. what legislation is relevant to the policy and a summary of the legislative requirements:
As the development of aviation industry grows, more and more aircraft crashes occur. There are many reasons that lead to aircraft crashes, but one of them, is because of improper aircraft maintenance. Why is proper aircraft maintenance so important? Proper aircraft maintenance is critical in order to keep the aircraft can function properly, every aircraft part is in good condition and ensure the safety of pilots and passengers. Proper maintenance has many parts. The most common part is inspections, which pilots do them every day; the main part is overhaul and repair of an aircraft; and maintenance documentation is another important part of aircraft maintenance which improper maintenance documentation has caused many incidents.
does not become obsolete because of passage of time' (Pg 41, Longshaw). A & Hughes, M W200: Understanding Law - Manual 1 (6th Edition). (2002), Oxford University Press, Oxford). Legislation, however, is probably the most important source of law in the country. the UK.
In logistic industry, they have been through lots of challenge in worldwide market. As the containerization of the global economy scopes, a phase of development and explanation, ports find themselves inserted in ever changing commercial environment where logistics is the forefront. Thus, this industry reaches a phase of maturity and rationalization due to the process of logistic on land.
The primary cause is of airplane accidents does at some stage contain an element of a person being unable to discharge his duties correctly and in an accurate manner. More than 53% accidents are the result of ignorance or faults by the pilot during flight. Other staff is responsible for about 8% accidents. The most obvious errors by pilot are made during the take off or landing on the runway. Additionally errors can occur during the maintenance of the airplane outside the plane, whereby a lack of thorough inspection and oversight can lead to complication during mid-flight. Fueling and loading of the plane also sometimes create problems (Shapiro, 2001).
