Supply Chain Optimization within Aviation MRO

Maintenance Repair and Operations (MRO) supply chain not only provides one of the best opportunities to reduce cost of operation and increase productivity but also offers complex challenges such as end to end integrated planning, increased availability of assets, inventory optimization and effective spend management. This paper gives an overview of the challenges faced in MRO supply chains and ...

From aviation to medicine: applying concepts of aviation safety to risk management in ambulatory care.

The development of a medical risk management programme based on the aviation safety approach and its implementation in a large ambulatory healthcare organisation is described. The following key safety principles were applied: (1). errors inevitably occur and usually derive from faulty system design, not from negligence; (2). accident prevention should be an ongoing process based on open and ful...
