How do Technical Publications Impact Your Organization?
Organizations, much like individuals, encounter challenges when striving to move forward.Aviation, is no exception, especially in today’s turbulent times. With issues ranging from technical labor shortages, training solutions,reduced profits, and supply chain difficulties, organizations now face a world emerging from the stifling grip of the pandemic. Considering the sharp rise in air travel already in progress, the opportunity may be difficult to capitalize on without attending to some extremely pressing factors first. Four areas of concern for most companies, safety, processes, growth, and cost, will be discussed in regard to how modern technical publications solutions can overcome existing hurdles.
Factors for success
Safety is on the mind of every stakeholder in the aviation industry. Major mishaps in maintenance related issues in the last few years have well illustrated how procedural non-compliance in maintaining complex products (i.e.e aircraft) has potentially devastating results for organizations, and ultimately, passengers. Supply chain disruptions are making the realization and maintenance of the required levels of compliance an arduous process, but necessary nonetheless.The ability to ensure safety is properly attended to requires access to the standardized procedures and required workflows necessary to avoid disaster and avoid costly highly publicized accidents. Omitting safety protocols is simply too hazardous a trap to fall into.
Processes and the appending technical publications content currently used by organizations needs to be altered in order to deal with new changes in the aviation ecosystem. With the current upheaval, many processes will require attention and alteration regarding their validity, scope, and effectiveness. Both impact the ability to deal with the industry status quo efficiently.
Alongside any massive rise in demand, all companies desire to exploit the opportunity for organizational growth. Currently, this may be easier said than done, as the mitigating factors put most companies on a playing field tilted against them.Implementing technologies to facilitate growth in partnering, better procurement, change management, and information exchange may provide an answer.
Meeting the increasing demands of the aviation industry will require financial expenditures to scale up to pre-pandemic levels.Higher costs will definitely be incurred, as materials scarcity has driven prices up considerably, and pay equity will become a larger issue in human resources. Keeping costs within budgetary tolerances will force new solutions to be employed by those wishing to achieve and maintain profitability.IETM / IETP applications seem to be a cost effective method of handling today’s challenges and tomorrow’s strategies.
Technical Publications: Innovative and Effective Solutions
Vetting new processes and workflows to maintain rigid safety standards can be assisted by implementation of IETM / IETP apps , such as the NIVOMAX Viewer. The most current standards from the various aviation authorities (FAA, ESA,) can be downloaded and distributed with a few clicks, ensuring all safety related technical publications maintenance procedures are up to date and easily accessible by the users who need to apply them.
The NIVOMAX Workflow Extension also allows organizations to set master schedules, enforcing the required maintenance scenarios to guarantee adherence to industry regulations and newly created procedures. Sharing your new safety processes with external partners, such as suppliers, is yet another benefit,avoiding errors and maintaining uniformity internally and externally.
Processes, such as procurement, can have their effectiveness augmented by the utilization of ordering from within deployed application solutions. The NIVOMAX Viewer features the Parts Ordering feature, allowing MRO and OEM technicians actively addressing maintenance and repair issues to achieve a better knowledge and relationship with the procurement cycle. Proactive ordering, and a synergistic connection between technical and sourcing departments assists in dealing with parts scarcity and turnaround time effectively.
The extensibility of IETM / IETP applications also permits users access to technical publications at any time and place via web portal, desktop , and mobile devices. With the workplace still suffering from COVID driven trepidation of employees to return to a shared environment, businesses can be flexible, offering the option to work at home, avoiding the loss of valuable human resources so desperately required today.Whether in the office environment, or remote,users can access the data in real time,collaborating with partners and teammates to execute tasks seamlessly.
2022 has shown the aviation industry that there is growth potential ahead. With a rise in domestic flight, 86% of what it was in 2019, organizations wish to capitalize on the increase as much as possible to recapture pre-pandemic profitability. Growth, more often than not, involves partnering and collaboration both internally and externally.
The NIVOMAX Platform allows technical publications to be shared by external parties, providing an excellent framework upon which new partnerships can be built, sharing information efficiently and transparently, through its Viewer component. MROs, OEM’s and suppliers will need to work closer together to overcome issues such as the ailing supply chain, balancing part requirements with stocking levels. IETM / IETP applications facilitate sharing pools of material resources within the aviation vertical easier to achieve, and this strategy is becoming a viable solution to materials scarcity.
Internal staff thrive on the ability to find and access information quickly and accurately to realize personal and corporate growth potential. IETM / IETP applications enhance a user’s ability to find and consume information through features like Search and Bookmarking, Enhancing the value of content can be achieved by annotating information directly into publications and manuals.Features that permit text and drawings to be saved and displayed, assist with training and collaboration, ultimately providing better results with workflow processes.
Insights on new materials performance, best practices, and change management issues can be collected,distributed, and used to promote growth far more efficiently. Pilots, who require accurate, up to date, and immediate access to task related information, can benefit from the EFB’s, a mobile tablet based tool which optimizes their ability to perform and consume mission critical data.
The cost of doing business has been addressed throughout corporate history. Today, the cost of doing business in aviation seems destined to rise, and organizations are seeking solutions to get back to pre-pandemic profits and revenue streams.By providing training teams with the ability to organize and display information crucial to the growth of newly onboarded staff and existing employees, attaining skill competencies can be efficiently and effectively streamlined.
The NIVOMAX Platform, through the Builder and Viewer, allows technical publications libraries specifically designed to assist training at all levels, and the ability for users to access this content at any time, for study or practical application. This optimizes the cost of onboarding and training each employee, regardless of what level of experience they are at.
New and alternate material sources are beginning to emerge as a cost efficient answer for scarce parts.For example, Used Service Material (USM) can lower costs as much as 60-80%.Technical publications solutions, such as The NIVOMAX IETM Viewer, permits material specifications and new procedures to be available across the organization, siloed with all the data necessary to optimize their utilization and reduce budgetary constraints. It also minimizes errors, assisting with implementing new practices, where mistakes could result in costly remediations to retain customers.
In retrospect, true safety, growth potential, optimization of processes, and cost control, on all fronts are best achieved by having a reliable partner who understands your needs. Future implementations of extensions and applications, which serve to further enhance organization’s performance, are best done with a company that knows the technology and you.
