MRO 4.0

Abstract

The demand for increased efficiency of production processes, while maintaining quality and safety in the operating environment, are permanent requirements of industrial revolutions. In the information age, data acquisition and its use to affect business strategies are being carried out by sensing production lines, tracking processes, and the product itself throughout its life cycle. Industry 4.0 requires an organizational transformation in terms of culture, process, and technology for the organization to be able to harness the potential of information. This chapter seeks to establish the difficulties and challenges of organizational transformation from the analysis of an aviation MRO company in light of integrated logistics support (ILS). The discussion will lead to the points to be taken into account from all elements of the ILS that will produce a roadmap for decision-makers to follow.
