Engineering Support The customer’s Integrated Product Team is backed up by OGMA’s Maintenance Engineering Division (MED), which delivers the following services:
	Evaluation of new repair procedures and processes Whenever new modifications are proposed by the manufacturer, the MED evaluates them and recommends whether or not they should be applied to the customer’s fleet. In cases where no standard repair or modification is available to deal with an issue, the MED will develop an in-house repair, a procedure change, or will work with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) in order to resolve the problem.
	Implementation of new or improved maintenance programs The Company will seek to optimise maintenance programmes in order to reduce and control failures. One of the primary ways to do this is through recommending improvements to the aircraft maintenance programme.
	Work scope and repair definition Whenever an aircraft, engine or component is due to make a maintenance visit, the MED will control the work scope document, which is agreed with the customer. Special repairs can also be developed and controlled by the MED, both for aircraft under maintenance and for aircraft experiencing problems in service.
	Issuing of technical documentation OGMA will control the standards of technical documentation in use at the operator’s facilities.
	Configuration Management As part of the service, OGMA will control the configuration for all rotables, of which there are more than 1200 per aircraft, including the engines.
	Reliability Analysis (RA) In order to reduce failures of rotables, OGMA has implemented a programme of Reliability Analysis. For this purpose a comparison is made between the majority of individual rotables and the fleet average MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) Data. Because OGMA manages a large fleet of aircraft, there is a great deal of historical data available to help in establishing norms and failure patterns.
	Technical Incident Analysis Technical incident analysis may be performed either at the customer's request or at OGMA’s own initiative, whenever there is a discrepancy or failure of unknown cause.
	Maintenance Planning Scheduled maintenance or preventive maintenance will be recommended by the engineering group, taking into account all operational requirements and technical constraints, in order to obtain the most efficient schedule without disrupting the fleet's global operation.
	Reporting A comprehensive technical report is delivered to the operator monthly, giving details of all Engineering support work carried out.
Together these capabilities enable OGMA to provide the quickest response to any a/c operational problem or malfunction, providing to the operator the appropriate corrective actions and / or recommendations in the shortest possible time.

Logistics Support

OGMA is able to offer any required level of Logistics Support. This can range from the simple provision of parts for heavy maintenance, to a total support, where the operator provides fuel and oil and OGMA provides everything else. As in all the other cases, flexibility of options is the key to operator satisfaction.

OGMA has developed its own network of approved suppliers, ranging from the OEMs, through major parts organisations, down to trusted specialist suppliers. As a fully approved company, OGMA is responsible to audit its approved suppliers to ensure that their quality is up to the standards required by the airworthiness authorities.

The company has a very large stock of C-130 parts of its own as well as consignment stocks from major suppliers.

In order to better facilitate material management and reduce turn-around times, OGMA has defined a number of kits for the frequently occurring tasks. Whenever an aircraft is due for scheduled maintenance, the kit is provisioned well in advance. The company also owns an appropriate level of rotables to support the fleet operation at the required readiness level. OGMA can even supply spare engines on loan when needed for its C-130 Full Fleet Support customers. Of course, all these costs are included in the FFS deal.

A main warehouse is already available at OGMA facilities to support the heavy maintenance (C checks) and a front-line warehouse will be set at the operator’s main base to allow a fast response to material requirements. To manage material transportation and replenishment of stocks, a worldwide agreement with a freight carrier is in place to always guarantee the shortest delivery time. For AOG delivery the maximum delay is 48 hours and normal deliveries are performed within a 20 days period.

In the case of a Full Fleet Support package, OGMA will provide its own Material specialists (who may be local nationals given specialist training at the company’s own facilities).
