1 AIRWORTHINESS: THE IMPORTANCE OF CORPORATE MEMORY AND DECISION MAKING TO IMPROVE AIRWORTHINESS 14 October 2014 Bristol Marriott, Bristol Aerospace Division Seminar

2 AIRWORTHINESS 14 October 2014, Bristol Marriott - City Centre, Bristol BENEFITS OF ATTENDANCE: ALTHOUGH THE RATE OF AVIATION ACCIDENTS IS VERY LOW, THERE IS A CONSTANT, ONGOING EFFORT TO MAXIMISE AVIATION SAFETY AND REDUCE THE FREQUENCY OF SAFETY INCIDENTS. One obvious approach is to learn from previous incidents in order to avoid these errors. Recent events highlight that there is room for improvement in this respect. To achieve this, aviation organisations need to maintain a corporate memory, whereby previous experience of safety and airworthiness issues are used to benefit the entire industry. Obtain an understanding of how airworthiness and safety knowledge is captured and maintained Learn how the information is used by other organisations to prevent repeat errors Gain an understanding of how the effective management of corporate knowledge may assist them to improve the airworthiness/ safety performance of their own organisations Share ideas and approaches to the capture and management of airworthiness and safety data Discuss current and future safety trends in an open forum with speakers and delegates Attend this event to explore the issues surrounding safety and airworthiness-related corporate knowledge in all aspects of aviation including design, manufacture, test and evaluation, maintenance, civil/ military operations and regulation. During the course of this event you will gain an understanding of how corporate knowledge is collected, stored and used to inform future action in each of these elements of the aviation industry. SPONSORSHIP & EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITIES GET INVOLVED Attending this event as either an exhibitor or sponsor will give you the opportunity to display your solutions, services and products to the right people at the right time. This is an excellent way to enhance your company profile and communicate effectively to your target audience. BENEFITS OF SPONSORING Showcase new products Raise awareness of your operation Improve perception of your brand Influence other organisations spending plans For more information please call +44 (0) or sponsorship@imeche.org
