Tapping the Lean Machine: How a Jet-Engine-Servicing Plant in Brazil Solved the Puzzle of Missing Spare Parts

Chris Norris
April 05, 2023

Soon after the pandemic hit in 2020, a team of logistics employees at a GE Aerospace plant in Brazil that services jet engines detected something odd, and worrisome: The number of available spare parts, used to repair engines, had dropped dramatically because of a cut in air freight deliveries. And those that did arrive often came in patchwork fashion and wound up stuck on the ground at Rio de Janeiro’s Galeão International Airport, stalled by lengthy import-paperwork delays. The consequences were potentially serious.

Airlines are motivated to keep engines on wing for as long as possible. But inevitably there comes a time when a commercial jet engine must go in for a shop visit to be overhauled.

GE and its joint ventures’ combined installed base of 39,000 commercial engines keeps maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) shops around the globe quite busy. Which is why Nicole Tibbetts, the chief manufacturing engineer for MRO at GE Aerospace, calls the company’s MRO network “the greatest leading indicator program in the world” for gauging engine performance.

Any GE Aerospace employee who has spent the day at Avio Aero’s plant in Pomigliano d’Arco, Italy, would probably agree that two aspects of the workplace are unimprovable: the view and the food. The GE-owned plant in northeast Naples, which manufactures blades, combustors, and other components for some of the world’s largest jet engines, looks out on Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that buried Pompeii in ash two millennia ago.

Rethinking ‘Getting From Here to There’

Peter Anastor Michigan Economic Development Corporation
June 11, 2014
Preparing for the future of highly automated advanced manufacturing is more than a study of the latest innovations and trends, and an investment in technology—it’s also a mindset.
For small- and medium-sized manufacturing businesses, engaging in global trade is no longer cost prohibitive; it’s at the doorstep. The key to competing successfully—and surviving—will likely depend on the efficient and effective management of a chain of intricately connected activities, from design through distribution and delivery.
