The airline or aviation industry has continued to experience significant developments in the recent past. These developments are geared towards enhancing the efficiency and safety of air transportation. However, the evolution of the aviation industry has also been characterized by some challenges, which has forced airlines to look for new ways to enhance the effectiveness of their operations. According to Treuner et al. (2014), current developments in the aviation and aerospace sectors have changed the risk landscape and increased the vulnerability of supply chains to interruptions. The modern aviation and aerospace industries are characterized by numerous complexities and increased vulnerability since they are more global. These high complexities and vulnerabilities have affected airlines and aerospace manufacturing sectors.
As a result of the nature of today’s aviation industry, improving quality control in the airlines and aerospace manufacturing industries is increasingly important. The significance of this issue is attributable to the fact that enhanced quality control in these manufacturing sectors would help improve safety and efficiency of air transportation (Grosenick, 2002). This research will focus on examining strategies that are needed to improve quality control in the airlines and aerospace manufacturing industries. The evaluation will be carried out in light of the significance of improved quality control on the overall safety, maintenance, and efficiency of airlines and air transportation.
The proposed research will commence with an analysis of the current challenges facing the airlines and aerospace manufacturing industries with regards to quality. An evaluation of the link between improved quality control and safety and efficiency of airlines will be carried out. The researcher will then provide discussions and recommendations of strategies needed to improve quality control in these industries based on the identified challenges/issues.
