18. Maintenance Cost Benchmarking? Airlines wishing to review of their own technical performance in order to compare and lower costs. Typically airlines will find a suitable independent consulting partner to evaluate both maintenance and engineering costs borne by the airline and report how the airline performs when compared to similar and/or competing carriers. The results are used to quantify opportunities for both structural and economic improvements within the technical operating environment.
19. Maintenance Cost Benchmarking Benefits The results of the benchmarking exercise and the analysis of these results will; Identify Maintenance costs and drivers – particularly those performing badly. Identify measurable cost metrics for maintenance spend. A comparable benchmark against competitors, both local and worldwide. Present a range of solutions to bring improvements to poor performing costs. Assist in the prioritising of maintenance cost solutions. Create solid foundations for the implementations of improvements. Benefit from overall fleet maintenance optimisation. Allows better understanding of maintenance costs from all aspects of the operation. Create internal trend monitoring to quantify and control spend going forward. Give opportunity for better contracting and cost control with MROs.
20. The Report and Model Typically the report is delivered in two coordinated, bespoke formats. 1/ A model based in Microsoft Excel This report is a model which is a long term tool for the client, which delivers immediate cost saving identifiers and the ability to use the model to forecast cost and also check costs against expectations going forward. 2/ A written report This report elaborates on the detail in the Excel report and is delivered with both an executive summary and fine detail contained within.
25. This will encompass implementation goals and indicator understanding and monitoring capabilities.

27. Bespoke To Clients’ needs What are the best performers? IBA reports and models are built bespoke to our client needs and workscope specifications. IBA models work in a way that your team understands and will fit into their daily business tasks and activities. The written report and the model address items which are relevant to the client and work to achieve cost savings outlined within. Discussions will be held with the client during the project, these discussions and interim meetings will help to shape a model and report which exceeds the client’s expectations in the short, medium and longer term.
