ASCI 416 Aviation Maintenance Management: A Global Perspective

Instruction:

This research paper is identifying a real-world maintenance management problem. Once you have identified your problem, you will research and develop an innovative solution to the problem. Your research paper should be 4-6 pages in length not counting title page, abstract and reference page. It must be written according to APA guidelines, properly cited and free of grammatical errors.

Research, comprehension, and application (courses of action, arguments, and result of analysis and synthesis of evidence respectively) are worth a combined total of 75 points.  This is where your focus needs to be, in order for the paper to grade well

I have revised my research topic to “Boeing Mechanic Falsified Documents” or “Boeing

Trouble with Documents”

Below are articles that I have found the trouble in the Boeing company, about the forge’s documents, performing sloppy works, and falsifying paperwork. This could be aligned with my selected objective #8 (Determine aviation maintenance record keeping and documentation requirement and understanding the legal and ramification of maintenance documentation).

Boeing Trouble with Documents

(Please feel free to edit my title)

Introduction

(below is my draft)

Boeing is the biggest commercial and military aircraft builder in the world. Also, the company is one of the largest aircraft exporters and one of the world’s most admired with a culture of quality that transcended its founder, with employees more than 153,000 people across U.S. and in more than 65 countries (Thompson, 2016). Unfortunately, Boeing reputation has a negative perception due to falsifying maintenance documents. In this research paper, we will look at the risk which impacts Boeing, discover what led to the Boeing employees falsified documents, any maintenance management problem, and what solution need to be done to correct and eliminate future falsification of documents.

Proper aircraft maintenance is particularly important for keeping aircraft and aircraft components in a top-notch condition. Therefore, every detail mechanic works or performs inspection, FAA rules require him or her written down and certify accurate records of the task performed. According to Murdock (2019), “Whether the mechanic replaces an engine or simply tinkers with a gauge, the logbook must collect its due.”(para. 7). This FAA rule also complies to any aircraft manufactures such as Boeing company and others. This research paper will further

Aviation is very essential to every day’s economy, unforeseen flight risks must be eliminated or curtailed to avoid expensive and tragic consequences. This proper maintenance required aviation maintenance technician obtains proper training and safety awareness, especially documenting of the work performed.. However, when an aviation maintenance technician failure to record or intentionally falsifies his or her work could lead to profound consequences. This research paper is Obviously, this untrue or deliberately false entry in document record is violating FAA regulations, 14 C.F.R.43.12 (e-CFR, 2019).

Safety is a paramount of Documentation is a very also a vital part and a piece of evidence that every aviation maintenance technician, even the biggest commercial aircraft builder, should take it no lightly. From a simple fix such as airframe, engine, propeller, or heavy maintenance, a description of job conducted, date the task was performed and the signature with certification number and type are always required (Murdock, 2019).

Proper management of aircraft operations starts with an organized system of maintenance records. Like Boeing company which
