The document summarizes the findings of a research project that investigated challenges in maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) across industries. The project included a survey of manufacturing organizations. Key findings from the survey data include: 1) MRO activities remain primarily reactive, 2) there is no clear universal method for collecting MRO data, 3) most organizations provide MRO data feedback to design and manufacturing but misalignments exist, and 4) interest in through-life engineering services is growing. The research aims to help improve product availability, predictability, and reliability while reducing service costs.

As businesses search for lower costs, supply chains have evolved from local to regional to global, and are increasing levels for offshoring of component suppliers and contract manufacturers. As a result, new risks associated with Intellectual Property (IP) have been introduced into design and supply chains. Mitigating these risks is essential for the successful commercialization of new products.
Gain 5 valuable insights about:
• IP Leakage and where it typically happens
• Where does it happen?
• Current Supply Chain models
• Key product considerations
• Structural solutions to protect IP

This whitepaper is based on a survey of over a 100 engineering leadership professionals to understand the latest trends in engineering outsourcing. The whitepaper addresses areas surveyed and interpretations with regards to why companies outsource their engineering, drivers, challenges, models of outsourcing, etc.

Invited seminar talk by faculty of technology at De Montfort University on 15th June 2015:
http://www.dmu.ac.uk/research/research-seminar-series/15june2016.aspx
A project sponsored in 2010 by the Aerospace Vehicle Systems Institute (AVSI), AFE 74, engaged a community of reliability subject matter experts to develop a reliability prediction technology roadmap based on a collaborative quality function deployment (QFD) industry assessment. The QFD provided a means to capture multiple viewpoints in a detailed enumeration of the needs, priorities and potential solutions for new reliability prediction methods to better support reliable system design processes. The discussions that were inspired by conducting this QFD provided an opportunity to open communications on some very divisive reliability prediction issues and helped bring the community together to solve the challenges of improving the utility of reliability predictions for the future. This presentation summarizes the findings of each step of the QFD, the reliability predictions roadmap derived from the QFD and discusses steps being taken to implement the roadmap..

improve future designs and upgrades”,
• “…faults that get tracked back to design docs and previous
repairs”,

Editor's Notes
Highlighted boxes show hotspots. Care was taken to increase awareness of the survey in sectors other than just the aerospace sector. Significantly however aerospace ‘players’ showed the greatest response.
1. Agriculture – Survey was sent to companies in this sector but little response. The use of data by manufacturers of combines is well documented.Health – Interesting as such data is harvested by CT and MRI manufacturersMinerals Extraction – Catapillar use such methods as usage monitoring etc
