Leaning Maintenance Through Process Improvement
Problem: Unsecured and unsorted screws, nuts, bolts, washers, etc. in aviation hangers and flight lines pose thousands of daily unnecessary but preventable risks. Misplacement of these items often results in millions of materiel repair dollars, thousands of manhours in preventable maintenance and rework, and a failure to meet mission readiness requirements for deployments and training.
Ex. iPhone: 100 screws, Corvette: 4k+ screws, UH-60: 1.5M+ screws
Solution: Implement the patented Skyplates Process Tool to simplify and streamline maintenance processes across weapon systems
Improved:
Organization and control of mission critical maintenance items
Identical schematics on Skyplate and equipment increases technician proficiency
Supply chain optimization through Skyplate Kits
Increased readiness
Optimize Takt time (pace of production) to meet customer demand
Decreased:
Location of miniature items required for maintenance and repair
Average maintenance cost and repair times
Foreign Object and Debris (FOD) incidents caused by misplacement of hardware (screws, nuts, bolts, washers, etc.)
The Skyplate is applicable for the following maintenance operations:
Phase maintenance
Depot maintenance
Flight-line maintenance
Isochronal maintenance
Reset
Intermediate maintenance
Scheduled maintenance
Unscheduled maintenance
Field-level maintenance
Preventive maintenance checks (PMCS)
Motor Pool Maintenance
Patent Number: 10,471,586 + 11,045,942
