Abstract
The increasing competitiveness in the global market has lead aerospace company to re-formulate their business model looking to enlarge their core business and increase their competitiveness. Companies have, thus, to improve their processes and guarantee high standard of reliability and efficacy. The Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) is an important process for the aerospace sector and requires high level of specialization and management of modules and components to satisfy customers needs and to work in accordance with the international policy and law. The actual study is based on an action research realized by Università del Salento and Avio S.p.A. to improve the company MRO process applying the Business Process Management Methodology and developing a new software. Changes in competitive scenario has lead Avio to improve and support its MRO process and in accordance with Università del Salento have applied BPM to reach higher performance. The realized software integrate different standards in a new framework to support MRO process in aerospace companies. It is based on a J2EE platform, integrates Intalio EE and uses a BPEL engine. The libraries and the front-end tools are open sources. Steps and results are described in the paper.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
