EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF IN-SERVICE DEFICIENCIES

In-service deficiencies can result in excessive aircraft out of service time, inefficient utilization of labor, higher than normal material consumption, and loss of aircraft utilization and revenue production. In order to ensure that this one element of the maintenance function is well controlled, a number of specific activities must be undertaken. The purpose of this paper is to describe the process and management technique used by Air Canada to ensure that in-service deficiencies do not jeopardize the operations.
