Stores and Parts Incoming Inspection

What the Course is About

The efficiency and efficacy of aircraft maintenance activities are inherently tied to the effectiveness of material procurement and logistics processes. Training stores’ personnel in how to perform an incoming inspection on aircraft parts is very important, besides being a legal requirement too. In today’s complex procurement landscape, where sourcing and acquiring materials can be a challenging endeavour, this function assumes a central role in determining the overall success of an organization in delivering aircraft maintenance services to operators. 

Aircraft Material Buyers, Inspectors, and Warehouse Managers are tirelessly engaged in the quest to secure the necessary parts and materials promptly, all while meticulously adhering to legal requirements and upholding industry standards specific to aviation. Adding a layer of complexity to these efforts is the ever-present spectre of Unapproved and Counterfeit Parts.

This training programme is specifically intended for Aircraft Material Buyers, Goods receiving personnel, Incoming Inspectors, Stores Managers and Aircraft Maintenance Engineers responsible for procuring, inspecting and handling aircraft parts, components and materials to equip them with the knowledge needed to operate efficiently while upholding the highest of industry standards
