Case Study: Korean Air achieves 90% better schedule adherence with Ramco Aviation

Korean Air boosts engine MRO schedule adherence by 90% with Ramco Systems

Korean Air faced significant challenges in its large-scale engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations. The primary issue was execution uncertainty, including frequent mid-shop stalls from changing work scopes and reactive rescheduling caused by fluctuations from OEMs and customers. These limitations in materials, skills, and tooling led to higher turnaround times and costs. Korean Air turned to Ramco Systems for a solution, implementing Ramco Aviation's maintenance optimization solution to address these problems.

Ramco Systems implemented an integrated execution layer that connected scheduling with materials management. This solution allowed Korean Air to proactively adjust work as conditions changed, flag constraints early, and link the shop floor with the supply chain. The results were highly successful, enabling the MRO center to increase its schedule adherence by 90% without needing to increase its physical capacity, leading to better operational flow and predictability.
