Passenger Experience Conference 2014 Olaf Bischof HO Maintenance System Engineering - Airbus Designing for ease of future maintenance Breakout Session 4 Protecting the Brand: Cabin Maintenance
Designing for ease of future maintenance All too often design is fixed before the maintenance team give their input. How do you get the topic of maintenance early in the design process, encourage design and development teams to test for maintenance and get sign-off from the maintenance team? How do you design in the requirement for unscheduled cabin maintenance during aircraft turn-around? How do you educate designers about what maintenance people require?
