SAP for Aerospace & Defense supports MRO providers in key business activities, including:

• Asset life-cycle management – SAP solutions enable maintenance engineers to manage physical assets and equipment, from the initial investment idea to the end of operation and replacement of assets. They can manage physical assets, equipment, and engineering changes over the complete life cycle to optimize equipment performance and availability.
• Maintenance and service planning – With SAP solutions, you can perform midterm to long-term forecasting and scheduling of major service for aircraft and components, and you can schedule service areas such as hangar bays. You can also simulate business alternatives and the resulting effect on service schedules and resources.
• Line maintenance – With SAP solutions, you can plan and execute maintenance services while an aircraft is assigned to the revenue schedule. Our solutions enable you to view all new, deferred, and cleared work items for an aircraft, which provides a longer time window for planning and assigning the work items.
• Heavy maintenance – SAP solutions enable you to manage maintenance in aircraft hangars, including the majority of scheduled inspections, checking and alignment tasks, engineering orders, deferred work items, and additional work that arises during the aircraft's visit. You can plan, package, schedule, and monitor maintenance tasks, and you can track the real progress of inspection results, production data, and configuration changes on the shop floor.
• Component maintenance – With SAP solutions, you can repair, overhaul, or refurbish components or major assemblies, running component maintenance as a separate line of business or in support of the airframe maintenance and engine maintenance business.
