WISE Component Performance & Recommendations Page 9
Objective & Scope Purpose To increase component reliability. To reduce operating costs, mainly linked to unscheduled component maintenance Scope Rotable and repairable LRU (including ATA 32, 49 & 70+) Off-A/C unscheduled maintenance (shop visits) Status Access to component recommendations via AIRBUSWORLD Maintenance & Engineering (Manage fleet / Optimize my fleet) Signature of MoU to define data supply, access& confidentiality Reporting fleet (status March 2011) 28 Airlines (directly or represented by their MRO) ~1500 A/C (75% A320 Family, 25% A330/A340) ~100,000 removals per year, covering ~3000 P/N Deployment phase of the service successfully launched Page 10
Process Airline/MRO Suppliers Airbus Report raw data on removals, shop findings and costs Involvement of all stakeholders in end-toend process. Give feedback to Airbus and suppliers about effectiveness of solutions Collect and process raw data. Identify troublemakers via KPIs Give feedback to participant about solutions for known issues Set-up improvement plan with suppliers for unknown issues Analyse performance and root causes with Airbus specialists and suppliers Page 11
Data Reporting Reporting format Standard template covering detailed component removal data A/L or MRO templates as default format Airbus templates as preferred format provided on request ATA Spec2000 LRU Removal (Chapter 11.9) and Shop Finding Record (Chapter 11.10) as optimum format Reporting channel E-mail (lru.tracking@airbus.com) *One line per removal event, mainly covering: date, tail N, PN, SN, removal reason & shop finding Reporting frequency Supply of data monthly or quarterly, within one month from end of reporting period Delay between removals and shop findings acceptable Proper performance analysis requires quality data Page 12
Publication & Benefits Publication Set-up improvement plan and give regular feedback (each quarter, alternating for A320 Family and A330/A340 Family) Benefits Advantages for various functions within the participating organisation (Fleet Management, Reliability Engineering, Contracts, Supply Chain/Logistics, etc) Pro-active regular hint on potential troublemakers Overview on available and upcoming solutions to improve component performance, including an indication on the economic interest of investment Full visibility on component in-service behaviour, including comparison of performance against guarantees Advice on trouble-shooting, in particular for high NFF rates For further information, please send your questions to Lru.Tracking@airbus.com.

WISE Main Adopted Solution & Tips Page 14
Objectives & Scope WISE Main Adopted Solutions & Tips has been developed following airline requests for more advice and/or assistance to improve reliability / reduce operating costs (A320 Symposium, CSIP ) WISE Main Adopted Solutions &Tips highlights some technical recommendations to: Increase A/C availability and particularly Operational Reliability (OR) Reduce Operating Costs (maintenance cost, fuel / weight saving) These recommendations have been selected through 3 different criteria: 1. Technical efficiency demonstrated through in-service experience 2. Economic efficiency demonstrated through cost/benefit analysis 3. Wide applicability Two types of recommendations are available: 1. Modifications (covered by SB / VSB mandatory ones are excluded ) 2. Preventive maintenance actions Page 15
Content For all items, as a supplement to technical aspects (background, recommendation, expected benefits), WISE Main Adopted Solutions & Tips provides a cost/benefit analysis to show the economic interest of this recommendation. The result of this cost / benefit analysis, based on fleet average data, is expressed through: a) Payback period notion for modifications Payback period = Embodiment Cost Yearly Cost Savings Material Labour Embodiment Cost Cost Savings b) Cost Saving notion for preventive maintenance action Operational Interruptions Unscheduled Maintenance Scheduled Maintenance Fuel consumption Spares level Cost Saving = difference of cost between fit to failure & preventive maintenance strategy Page 16
Conclusion WISE is a set of free of charge solutions to : support your operation improve your fleet performance reduce your unscheduled maintenance costs Provide instant technical answers & tips Help decision making for business cases Pro-active regular hints on potential component troublemakers to prevent cost drifting Page 17
