Abstract:

The purpose of this report is to provide Aircraft Maintenance Management and Engineering information necessary to select the optimum modernization plan to update the existing sheet metal shop for the Aircraft Division. Four conceptual layouts were presented to SA-ALC. It was concluded that one modernization layout would be prepared for the final report. This report describes the methodology used in accumulating data and how these data were interpreted to derive the proposed modernization layout. The recommendations and modernization plan to upgrade the existing sheet metal shop are based on surveys and analyses conducted by a Boeing Aerospace Operations BAO team representing the Materials and Processes, Facilities, and Manufacturing disciplines. The recommended modernization plan was selected from the four conceptual layouts presented to SA-ALC on December 17, 1985. This plan allows for integration of new machines with existing equipment and progressive elimination of obsolete machines. Some existing machines are to be refurbished to return them to near-new capabilities. Keywords Manufacturing.
