British Airways and India's Tata Consultancy Services have joined forces to offer maintenance organisations an information technology product branded as Swift MRO.
The product is aimed at "eliminating non-value added activities and waste throughout MRO operation" via increased automation of compliance, inventory and maintenance processes.
"Having successfully implemented an engineering-wide system based on SAP [business software], we have identified a number of opportunities to enhance the solution and make it significantly easier to implement and use," says Garry Copeland, BA's director of engineering.
BA Engineering has set a goal of increasing annual third-party maintenance revenues from £30 million ($47 million) last year to £60 million in 2011.
