Executives in aviation MRO are challenged to improve business growth while continuing to endure the friction of workforce availability. According to the AIA, companies are experiencing losses of critical labor talent at 13%. Meanwhile, recruiting and onboarding new aviation maintenance talent is adding costs upwards of $25K per new hire.
These are strategic business issues with impacts felt broadly across HR, Operations and Finance. Investors are watching as are the your current workforce.
The CEO and Workforce Performance
Outdated processes are a deep challenge, negatively impacting business execution. Although aviation MRO’s have systems in place to support regulatory compliance these are often incomplete or do little to deliver positive business results.
Workforce productivity is frustrated by ineffective, legacy processes that detract from the good work they were hired to do. Skilled talent will seek a workplace that empowers efficiency, eliminating non-value added activities.
Talent losses can be reduced and onboarding accelerated by simplifying laborious tasks that take away from productive time. Although work may be similar at an aviation MRO nearby, the ability to do it effectively attracts and retains great talent.
“Kicking the can,” and doing the same thing with an existing system because its installed, or some people know how to use it doesn’t eliminate the friction. It is a compliance cost center that doesn’t deliver a path to success.
Senior executives are prioritizing workflow process initiatives with operations, and IT leadership, encouraging a system that delivers workforce success across all roles while driving promised profit and business growth.
At Impresa, we understand having the right Aviation MRO system (ERP) will positively deliver operations and financial results. Impresa™ MRO standardizes processes, simplifying best practices, optimizing adoption, and delivering positive business results everyone can celebrate.
In my role as CEO of Impresa, I consistently hear about great initiatives and the difficult challenges to be addressed. I would like to invite a conversation to share insights on aviation MRO challenges and approaches to overcoming them.
