The importance of having a serviceable tooling park
In the world of aerospace, everything is interconnected: each actor has his role within this environment which makes aerospace an amazing world.
OEMs supply aircrafts and engines, Airlines transport people and goods, MROs perform the necessary maintenance operations and lessors make all these assets available.
In this ecosystem, Dedienne Aerospace is here to handle your tooling serviceability.
How many times did you realize at the last minute that the tool needed for specific maintenance operation was not serviceable?
Without the technical expertise, tooling and technical documentation to resolve this problem, the only thing you could do is to bear the bad impact of all this on your business:
AOG, delays, customer unsatisfaction, financial expenses, last minute high loan costs…
- A tool with an exceeded annual recertification due date (load-test, leakage test, dimensional test…)
- A damaged tool
- An obsolete tool (upgrade/modification)
To minimize this risk of unserviceable tool and impact on operations:
- Some choose the option of using unserviceable tool with the big risk on human safety and assets integrity
- Some choose to service their tooling at local black-market suppliers who may not be a tooling professional and/or does not have the OEM license (access to drawings and technical data) to ensure quality according to regulations and OEM constraints
- Some prefer to have over dimensioned tooling park with high cost of immobilization
- Some choose to have a big team dedicated to the management and follow-up of tooling services with high indirect costs and large suppliers panel
It is clear that none of these solutions is perfect or ideal.
All this was the main motivation of Dedienne Aerospace to reinforce its offer as a worldwide tooling supplier with an innovant service concept mainly based on anticipation, smart planification, proximity, license and partnership with major OEMs.
These licenses are an asset for us to be a sole one-stop-shop for all your engine, aircraft and GSE tooling.
This concept has proven its efficiency with major customers especially during the pandemic situation with decrease of costs related to tooling services, reduced immobilization time and short TAT linked to high OTD.
All this ensured by our worldwide tooling professional within the highest standards of quality and compliance with OEM and regulations’ constraints.
The only thing you still have to do is to enjoy your job and let Dedienne Aerospace take care of managing all your tooling park, and thus ensuring the good tool available at the good time for all your operation.
Fly safe! We keep your tooling serviceable!
