A partnership between Boeing and Fujitsu promises to bring a
new inventory and maintenance tool to airline ground crews, which will ensure a
plane is ready for flight. The new tool is said to be able to assess a plane as
quickly as the crew can walk around or down a passenger aisle.
A launch customer is expected to be announced sometime this
week for Component Management Optimization (CMO). CMO will be developed with
six initial products, first being emergency equipment management. Later CMO
products will be developed to manage retables and repairables, airframe
degradation, propulsion systems, and essential cabin options. Program manager
Phil Coop said that the entire program will be completed by the end of the
year.
Do you think CMO tools like the one from Boeing and Fujitsu
will be an improvement over current, inspection practices, particularly in
light of the recent Southwest
Airlines incident?
