787 e-Enabling entry into service
and ANSP development

The challenge

A small, future 787 Dreamliner operator in the Middle East faced several challenges in their 787 entry into service (EIS) process. With a short timeline of only two months, the operator had to overcome the following obstacles:

  • Inexperienced engineering and maintenance staff
  • Lack of refined processes for inducting new aircraft
  • Heavy reliance on outsourced information technology and cyber capabilities
  • Requirement for an Airplane Network Security Program (ANSP) for regulatory approval

Reduced EIS and regulatory risks, while inducting aircraft on-time

Our approach

To address these challenges, Boeing implemented the following strategies:

  • Conducted onsite business process and ANSP workshops with airline engineering, maintenance, and IT/cyber focals
  • Developed an e-Enabling concept of operations plan
  • Updated maintenance and engineering, and IT policies and procedures to include e-Enabling
  • Identified and mitigated business risks impacting 787 EIS
  • Delivered a draft ANSP manual for regulatory approval
  • Developed a strategy for universal maintenance devices through process implementation
  • Provided support toward airline operational approval

Results

The implementation of Boeing's approach yielded significant results for the operator:
