We have examined the organizational structure of a typical maintenance organization and have reviewed the trend of maintenance outsourcing. In your paper, compare and contrast the typical maintenance structure for an airline with in-house heavy maintenance versus an airline that outsources heavy maintenance checks. You need to consider who is responsible for the quality of maintenance results.
How is quality assured during and after the maintenance checks have been completed?
What effect, if any, does outsourcing have on fleet size?
From a maintenance management perspective, identify one strength and one weakness for the company outsourcing heavy maintenance.
Use a comparison of two different airlines that are in operation today to support your rationale presented in your post.
