Vietnam Airlines Engineering Company (VAECO), a subsidiary of Vietnam Airlines, has signed agreements with Swiss Aviation Software (Swiss-AS) and NGS Equipment and Communication Joint Stock (NGS), the Swiss-AS local partner in Vietnam, who will support Swiss-AS in the process of implementing the AMOS MRO software solution. Five years ago, Swiss-AS released the AMOS MRO edition, specifically designed to fulfil the needs of MRO providers.
This AMOS edition has been successfully implemented several times since its release, while the Swiss-AS AMOSmobile packages for stores management (AMOSmobile/STORES) and line/base maintenance (AMOSmobile/EXEC) fully met the functional requirements that VAECO and Vietnam Airlines were looking for in their tender process. AMOS includes the tools required to fully manage the maintenance programme with more efficient data synchronisation, allowing the business to pursue the goal of reducing costs and maintenance time, without any concessions being made in terms of safety and quality, as well as improving the operational readiness factor of the fleet.
Furthermore, AMOS provides state-of-the-art modules for planning and controlling all maintenance processes, including optimised assignment of staff resources when defining the production plan – with the objective of increasing labour productivity and efficiency. The full integration of real-time data in AMOS over the different data streams in AMOS – from material management, to engineering, to planning and production – enable informed and effective business decisions to be made and therefore minimise flight disruptions, delays, and cancellations. Once the AMOS implementation has been completed, VAECO foresees that labour productivity will increase by 15-20%, that maintenance turnaround times of aircraft will shorten and that the higher manpower productivity will allow VAECO to extend its third-party maintenance market share, which is currently in great demand as a result of the airline industry having returned to profitability after the COVID-19 pandemic.
