Aviation Consulting, LLC Project Profiles

Managed the design and the implementation of a work card system for aircraft modifications.  The system optimized the flow of the work cards over the entire aircraft modification project or scheduled maintenance event.  The system also enhanced reporting capabilities.

Implemented and designed enhancements for an engine power-by-the-hour cost forecasting system.  The system was designed to produce forecasts, accruals, and budgets, as well as, tactical scenario options.  The system was also used for financial reporting.

Managed the maintenance support for a bay-capacity management system.  The system was designed to document the flow of the maintenance bay usage.  The system was also used for reporting the daily operational management of the each aircraft maintenance bay.

Developed and implemented a hardware and capital tracking system.  The system increased the required visibility for analysis and monitoring.  The Technical Operations Controller division used the system.

Designed, developed and implemented a software application used to forecast power by the hour expenses for jet engines and auxiliary power units ($41 plus million).  Prior to implementation of the system, challenges existed with forecast variances.  After the implementation of the system, the forecasting issues were eliminated.

Performed a Six Sigma project to reduce the maintenance check span for the B737 1/4D maintenance check.  The project revealed several indicators as to the cause for the increasing span.  The project led the effort to reduce the maintenance check span and yielded the consistent check span production for the B737 1/4D maintenance check.

Led a team on a special project to investigate accidents, loss of productivity, and fuel consumption during aircraft taxi-tow operations at Newark International Airport.  We recommended a super tug system, which proved so successful that it is still in place today.  The implementation reduced the productivity loss and the fuel consumption during aircraft taxi-tow operations.

Managed the upgraded and the enhancement of a DOS version hangar planning system.  The system increased aircraft visibility to Scheduling, Marketing and Financial Planning.  The Fleet Planning module increased visibility of aircraft, which saved the air carrier from having to purchase several aircraft to fulfill summer capacity needs.

Modeled a system to forecast pilot training needs during a conversion period from turbo-prop equipment to jet equipment requirements.  The model incorporated union rules and regulations, specific business needs and FAA requirements.  The model facilitated the corporate transition from turbo-prop equipment to jet equipment.

Produced a model to monitor flight crew utilization with productivity measures and dollar impact.  The model also supported the forecast for reserve flight crew demands with the incorporation of the specific union rules.  The model helped corporate management and the union during challenging union negotiations.

Implemented a system at the Newark International Airport to reduce the time required to position flight crews after heavy snowstorms or other disruptive events.  Prior to the system implementation, flight crew re-positioning took two to three days.  After the system implementation, re-positioning took only one day.

Streamlined the ground operation process for aircraft handling in Daytona Beach International Airport for a local air carrier.  The process improvements included station operation and aircraft ground handling processes.  The process implementations resulted in effective and efficient aircraft and passenger handling activities.
