Chapter
Increasingly dynamic markets and shorter product life cycles are forcing companies to adapt their factories through reorganizations continuously. To ensure that such reorganization projects can be successfully implemented, quality management (QM) must be involved in the factory planning process (FAP) at an early stage. In this context, holistic qua...
Chapter
Complex capital goods such as aircraft engines are stressed by the environment and actual operation. These influences, e.g. air pollution, lead to wear of the capital goods. Therefore, capital goods are maintained, repaired or overhauled (MRO). Regeneration is carried out by MRO service providers and enables an elongation of the utilization period...
