The Embraer Executive Jet Services center is the maintenance support for the Embraer Executive fleet for Europe Middle East & Africa. Located in Le Bourget, France, the center implemented Critical Chain Project Management to reduce aircraft downtimes. From an average of 9 weeks, the team cut the Turn-Around Time by over 40% and reduced by 50% the labor hours per job without compromising quality.
Dynamic scheduling, which takes into account the uncertainties and variability that are unavoidable in this type of activity, enables them to meet the commitments promised to customers. By setting up the Fever Chart Portfolio for the whole hangar, the Embraer team has a clear visibility of the progress of the work and a calm management environment.
The conference presented the successes, challenges and next steps of this transformation.
