¶ … tooling control programs are used in the aviation industry to help reduce the number of lost tools and miscellaneous equipment that can be misplaced by workers performing maintenance or installation services in an aircraft facility. Such lost tools can also include otherwise harmless office supplies such as pens or paperclips, making the need for a rigorous foreign object damage control program for tooling control essential for aviation companies today. A wide range of solutions are available for tooling control purposes, ranging from the straightforward and simple tool silhouette cutouts to sophisticated computer-based applications that used radio-frequency identification or bar coding technologies. Irrespective of which tooling control approach is used, there remains a need for improvement in any aviation-related context since one lost tool in a million is too many. To shed some fresh insights into these issues, this study provides a current overview of industry best practices related to tooling control programs, how they are administered and what techniques are used to control the use of tools and other foreign objects in the aviation industry in general and how tooling control can be used to reduce the incidence of tool loss at Sikorsky in particular. A summary of the research, important findings and recommendations for implementation and further research are provided in the study's conclusion. Although such a mishap is clearly a tragedy (and a potentially hefty malpractice lawsuit as well), when an aircraft mechanic leaves a tool in an aircraft, though, hundreds of people can die as a result and the economic consequences can be enormous. Indeed, the need for effective tooling control procedures in the aviation industry is absolute and even one tool lost in a million is an unacceptable rate. Unfortunately, the harsh reality of the human condition is that people are susceptible to mistakes, accidents, untoward incidents, and mishaps of every kind. It is reasonable to suggest that everyone loses something from time to time, but in the vast majority of cases, the outcome of such events is benign. In the aviation industry, though, the need for an absolute standard of safety with respect to tooling control is well-known and recognized but achieving these high levels of quality control is a challenging enterprise to be sure.
Despite the challenges that are involved, there is a compelling need to improve tooling control for a number of reasons beyond the overarching safety-related issues that are involved. For the purposes of this study, tooling control…

Marketing Plan for a KW Service Designed to Generate New Clients Product Idea The product idea for this marketing plan is a service that Keller Williams could provide to potential home buyers/investors that no other competitor is currently offering: that is, free educational classes for the public about the process of buying, investing, owning, keeping up or rehabbing houses. The purpose of this service would be that it draws potential clients into
Technology Product: Product Development TCP/IP is the universally-accepted standard for internet-working protocol suites. However, despite its wide use, popularity, and inherent advantages, TCP has one fundamental drawback -- it is not as effective in high-latency environments as it is in terrestrial networks. This analysis sought to address this problem by i) developing a new product with better functionality in high latency, satellite environments; and ii) developing an effective development and marketing
Generally, the classification of model transformation tools is based on whether it is declarative or operational, directionality or multiplicity. The study further discusses the sub-categories of model transformation that include: hybrid transformation tools, graph transformation, relational, template based, operational based, structure driven and direct manipulation. All the sub-categories of model transformation have the following features: Hybrid transformation combines two or more transformation approaches; Graph transformation focuses on graph rewriting over variation and extensions of labeled
Michael Cooley (1972) has suggested that the drawing office has been downgraded in importance as a result of the finer division of labor in engineering that began in the 1930s. He described how the creative design element had become increasingly separated from the work of executing drawings. The fragmentation of shop floor jobs was, according to Cooley, paralleled by fragmentation of the job of the designer/drafter. Until the 1930s, drafters
In general, Product Development at Ford involves three major stages, all leading up to the manufacture of the vehicle: Plan, Design, and Verify -- then manufacture. To do this, though, functional areas need to manage costs, plan marketing programs, ensure that needed parts are available, plan manufacturing schedules, hiring (if needed), shift changes, and numerous other data (a/p, a/r, payroll, etc.). The model for Ford is: (Source: Murthy and Desai) Thus, on
