GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Boeing and GE Aviation have jointly developed a simpler method to implement condition-based maintenance systems on aircraft. It is called the Open System Architecture for Condition-Based Maintenance (OSA-CBM). This will become an industry standard with the signing of an agreement by the two companies to grant rights for its use to the Machinery Information Management Open Systems Alliance (MIMOSA) organization.
When a new employee is onboarded at GE Aerospace's Systems business in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Gail Thompson is often one of the first stops on the tour.
“They stop and say, ‘Oh, you have to meet Gail,’” she says. “I guess it’s just because I’ve been here a long time.”
