Overview
What you will study
The Air Transport Engineering - Maintenance Operations course offered by Cranfield University includes the basic principles of aircraft maintenance philosophies, maintenance management and describes the process to improve supply-chain management. As far back as 1963 Ken Wilkinson argued that many engineering degrees are biased in favour of the design and manufacturing disciplines – however there is a large gap within the airline industry, where skills in “Maintenance Engineering” are needed. The latter should include the theory of reliability and maintenance, techniques for condition monitoring, economics of maintenance and human factors.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Describe the principles of reliability as applied in maintenance
- Critically appraise the different philosophies for aircraft maintenance
- Outline a maintenance management programme, including the control of operational standards, supply chain and cost issues
- Develop a process for achieving continuing airworthiness management with the appropriate regulatory approval
