The Scenario

An airline had a series of 4 CFM56-3 shop visits at a maintenance organisation and asked TES to manage the Shop Visits to ensure that the Turn Around Time, and EGT margin targets were met, and that the shop visits were “realistically priced”

TES' Service

TES provided a full shop visit management service, including

  • Workscope control
  • Materials review
  • Test & documentation overview
  • Lease contract compliance
  • Scrap parts review
  • Detailed invoice review
     
         
  The outcome

TES successfully managed the shop visits with all engines coming out of test with an acceptable EGT. On all shop visits the shop beat the expected TAT, in one case by 6 days. The shop visits were also cost effective -The table below shows the savings at each shop visit.
