On November 29, 2019, Sapura Technics obtained its first Part 145 provisional approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM). In parallel, the company signed for the AMOS MRO-edition to take advantage of the latest AMOS pure MRO features in order to manage its line and base maintenance activities.
Since January 2020, this new AMOS implementation project consolidates Swiss-AS' presence in Malaysia and the APAC region. Sapura Technics represents a new-born star in the region's MRO market, and working in a close relationship with its young and motivated team was an exciting and productive way to focus on the key success factor and the potentials of AMOS in its pure MRO business.
After a six month implementation phase, Sapura Technics successfully went “live” with AMOS release 19.6 on July 1, 2020. The completion of this milestone enables Sapura Technics' supply chain and commercial department to use AMOS productively in its day-to-day operations. It also opens up the AMOS system to the engineering and planning end users for the definition of detailed customer requirements and work instructions, and the facility and resources planning operations respectively.
It is expected that the first heavy maintenance check to be carried out by Sapura Technics will be in the next quarter, assuming that there will not be another major wave of the current COVID-19 pandemic. As agreed with the customer, this launch event will see the AMOS APAC team providing its on-site support at Sapura Technics hangar facilities located at Senai International Airport, provided the easing of the travel restrictions to Malaysia is realized.
