Reduce annual engine maintenance shop visit costs up to 15%
Engine Fleet Planning and Costing (EFPAC) helps Airlines, MROs, and Lessors build efficient shop visit plans by considering operational, technical, and financial data while updating plans easily in seconds. EFPAC is not just a planning tool, it is a complete engine lifecycle management tool that helps operators save money.
One of the most significant cost-generating activities in aircraft maintenance is engine restorations and rebuilds. Engines are rebuilt for various reasons, including scheduled maintenance activities such as degradation, unscheduled maintenance activity such as bird hits, and end of lease activities. Operators strive to reduce the number of engine removals and shop visits. Removing an engine off-wing is time-consuming in itself, and every time an engine goes into the shop, it could cost millions of dollars in restoration.
EFPAC solves the complexity of manually creating shop visit plans. It is an application that considers all removal drivers, operational constraints, and, most importantly, shop visit costs while building shop visit plans.
