Oscar S. Garcia, IFG’s Chairman to Speak and Aviation Maintenance Magazine Webinar

Oscar S. Garcia was invited to panel and speak at this webinar, highlighting the opportunities and challenges of the aerospace maintenance sectors. “ Certainly, maintenance, repair, modifications and systems integration are the largest chunk of the aerospace revenues iceberg beneath the flotation line. “ Oscar Garcia stated “several paradigms are shifting in this context and I look forward to tackling them directly and insightfully. My firm’s clients, consulting executives and investors are quite focused on the MRO segment of the aerospace commerce chain. The MRO’s future hinges on the fine balance amongst global forces such as; evolution of composite materials, power plants, new energy sources and fuels, geo political forces and costs drivers…to the latest WTO rulings on the Boeing and Airbus saga. There are no more pockets or isolated niches in the MRO sector and every move somewhere is connected to a reaction somewhere else. I look forward to a very lively and decision enabling forum ”

The MRO Sector in 2010:
How to Profit from the New Trends

Friday, July 30, 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. (ET) / 14:00 – 15:00 (GMT)

As the aviation sector emerges from its slump this year, demand will increase for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services. The MRO sector is undergoing transformative changes, as consolidation accelerates among maintenance providers. What’s more, a spate of strict new rules and regulations are causing consternation, all the way from the executive suite to the shop floor. It’s the mechanics that actually keep aircraft flying in the air. And yet, the global aviation maintenance industry continues to be wracked by uncertainty.
That’s why Aviation Maintenance magazine is producing this 60 minute new webinar, which will provide the information that MRO players need to remain competitive. To convey the latest news, trends and interpretive analysis about the MRO field, this webinar will feature speakers who are seasoned experts in aviation maintenance. They’ll examine the most crucial maintenance trends of 2010, to provide you with original insights and actionable advice.

Anyone involved in the maintenance, repair, overhaul, manufacture, purchase, lease, operation, or safety of aircraft will be interested in this timely and informative webinar, scheduled for Friday, July 30, at 10:00 a.m. ET.

You’ll learn:

• What are the challenges imposed by new aircraft and engine types?

• What are the manpower challenges created by leaps in new technology, as well as the accelerating pace of globalization?

• What are the latest developments in “lean manufacturing” in MRO?

• What are the latest workflow management issues, related to the global provisioning of MRO services?

• Did the recent global recession force layoffs and cost-cutting that adversely affected the quality of MRO work? How have MRO managers been coping with these cutbacks—and how will they ramp up to meet renewed demand in 2010?

• Does the growing prevalence of MRO outsourcing to remote regions of the world undermine air safety and threaten passengers?

• Trained mechanics continue to be in short supply. How are companies finding, training, recruiting, and retaining the next generation of mechanics? What are public-private partnerships doing to ensure a healthy talent pool of mechanics?

• Will the Parts Manufacturer Authority (PMA) industry continue to thrive? How are OEMs responding to the PMA challenge?

• Which regions of the globe generate the most MRO activity? Where are the new hot spots for outsourcing?

• What are the latest forays from major OEMs such as Boeing and Airbus to expand their role in the MRO market?

• As economic growth returns, what’s the prognosis for the aftermarket?

• What are the latest methods that airlines are implementing to rein in labor and maintenance costs? Will we all pay the price, in terms of labor-management strife in the MRO sector?

..and much more! This webinar also is a participatory event, in which the moderator fields questions from you, the registrant, and presents them to the speakers for discussion in real time. And remember, a single registration allows up to 10 individuals at your company to attend the webinar.
