SAMO for Aerospace Industries |
SAMO for Aerospace PACKAGESAMO for Aerospace Industries includes the Defense Package (LCC, ORLA, S2A, R2A, FMEA, FTA, PRA, RBD and RCM, SFDA, PMO, PIO, RCM and DRP ) in addition to the MSG3 module described below.
This package covers all the neccesary modules to satisfy the ILS requirements for the Aerospace Industries around the world, allowing to define and improve the operational safety along with a fully documented decision making process in the Aerospace industry.
Maintenance Steering Group MSG-3 (by ATA)
|
MSG-3 can assist an air carrier (commercial aviation) in improving its operational safety net and provide a positive contribution to the air carrier’s fiscal bottom line. The MSG-3 was invented by the American Transport Association and was approved by the FAA. MSG-3 is a method of developing maintenance/inspection tasks and interval programs on aircrafts.
Using the MSG-3 methodology, the OEM or the carrier uses a "top down" approach to identify the significant items to be analyzed. This approach partitions the aircraft into major functional areas, then subdivides those areas and continues to subdivide down to those sub-components which are not replaced on-aircraft (i.e., sub-components replaced off-aircraft, usually in a shop).
The candidate item for analysis is usually a system or subsystem one level above the lowest level, which MSG-3 identifies as the "highest manageable level". Significance is determined by a conservative process of engineering judgment, based on the anticipated consequences of failure. The MSG-3’s decision-making logic is applied to each significant item, with the analysis categorizing the functional failure as evident or hidden, determining the impact of secondary damage resulting from the functional failure of the item (concurrent, sequential or multiple failures). Then MSG3 categorizes it as safety, operational and/or economic failure in nature, each category follows its own route in the logic flow

The conclusion can result in one or more of these five tasks:
1) lubrication/servicing
2) operational/visual check
3) inspection/functional check
4) restoration
5) discard
With "applicability and effectiveness criteria" guiding all task selections. Furthermore, the applicability and effectiveness criteria may lead to the selection of "no task" or a request to be forwarded back to the OEM for redesign.
Key objectives of the MSG3:
- To ensure realization of the inherent safety and reliability levels of the equipment
- To restore safety and reliability to their inherent levels when deterioration has occurred
- To obtain the information necessary for design improvement of those items whose inherent reliability proves inadequate
- To accomplish these goals at a minimum total cost, including maintenance costs and the costs of failures
Datasheet
- Level flow chart provides questions and possible answers to specify failure consequences for each failure mode
- Second level flow charts presents logic procedures (for all possible failure consequences) allowing selecting preventive tasks to avoid safety or economic damage caused by the failure
- For each block all necessary drawings, illustrations, supporting data and changes are saved and used in MSG3 reports
- Generates 8 reports respectively each step of analysis with full description and explanation of all maintenance decisions
- Guide presents main steps of system failures description
- Complies with the American Transport Association (ATA) requirements
