2. How does Maintenix improve operational efficiency and decision-making? Maintenix provides a system platform that is accessible via the Web and easy to deploy to all stations around the world. MXI claims that its software reduces repetitive tasks and time spent chasing missing or incomplete information by allowing maintenance, engineering and finance divisions to easily share information. The biggest advantage of the system is that all of this information provided by Maintenix’s various modules is location in one place, resulting in more rapid scheduling and avoids pitfalls of poorly organized information systems, such as scheduling work to a station that lacks the proper qualifications to accomplish it. Maintenix will also allow Air Canada technicians to request a part for maintenance from supply, and give up-to-date information as to whether or not the requested part is available, and gives you information as to when it is available for pickup, and also reserves the part for the technician. A far more efficient method then currently used (or rather used in the past as this system was apparently implemented in 2010)
3. Give examples of three decisions supported by the Maintenix system. What information do the Maintenix modules provide to support each of these decisions?
The Maintenix software package contains 6 different modules which are separate products but are all interconnect.
The maintenance engineering module is the foundation of the Maintenix system. It’s used to establish the configuration hierarchy, rules, and maintenance program that all the other modules depend upon. Through this module, the airline can set up a “logical configuration,” which
