- The collaboration between SWISS and Swiss-AS ensured a tailored, integrated solution for digital maintenance processes.
Swiss AviationSoftware (Swiss-AS) is proud to announce that the AMOS Line Maintenance Manager (LMM) has successfully gone live at Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS). This milestone marks a significant step forward in optimising digital maintenance processes and enhancing efficiency within SWISS’ maintenance operations.
The AMOS Line Maintenance Manager module is an essential tool for line maintenance supervisors, offering an intuitive platform to streamline operations. It enables users to easily visualize incoming flights and ground times, as well as work packages and assigned events. Additionally, supervisors can assign line checks, create tasks and allocate the appropriate staff to each task and notify them about their work assignments, ensuring smooth communication and workflow.
A Unified, Efficient Solution for Maintenance Operations
The adoption of AMOS LMM highlights SWISS’ commitment to modernising its maintenance processes. The introduction of this integrated solution simplifies the digital system landscape and reduces the number of tools required for maintenance operations. SWISS mechanics can now efficiently complete tasks using a single tool on their iPads, significantly enhancing their workflow.
Prior to the implementation of AMOS LMM, SWISS had already taken a major step towards digitalisation in 2017 by equipping over 600 mechanics with iPhones and enabling them to digitally view and accept tasks. This transition away from paper-based task distribution laid the foundation for SWISS’ ongoing digital transformation. However, as digital requirements evolved, the need for a more comprehensive and integrated solution became clear, prompting the move to AMOS LMM.
Collaborative Development with Swiss-AS
The development and implementation of AMOS LMM at SWISS have been a collaborative journey. While the initial version of AMOS LMM required further adaption to align with SWISS’ requirements, the partnership between SWISS and Swiss-AS enabled the enhancement of the tool to suit the airline’s specific needs. This tailored approach has ensured that AMOS LMM seamlessly integrates into SWISS’ operations, providing a modern and future-proof solution.
A Smooth Transition and Successful Go-Live
The go-live event was a resounding success, with the system proving stable and operational from day one. Swiss-AS representatives were on-site at SWISS’ Line Maintenance offices in Zurich to support the launch. Currently, approximately 40 users per shift, including short-haul mechanics, cabin and IFEN (In-Flight Entertainment and Network) technicians, dispatchers, and the Maintenance Control Center (MCC), are actively using AMOS LMM.
Looking Ahead
The transition to AMOS LMM not only enables SWISS to avoid a cost-intensive update of previous tools but also ensures the adoption of an advanced, integrated solution that aligns with the airline’s strategic goals. The previous scheduling tool has been decommissioned since the end of October.
Swiss-AS extends its gratitude to the entire SWISS team for their dedication and collaboration throughout this process. The successful go-live of AMOS LMM reflects the strength of the partnership between Swiss-AS and SWISS and sets the stage for continued innovation in digital maintenance solutions.
"Despite already having a digital solution for task allocation, we decided to migrate to AMOS LMM, because we value the full integration and “one-stop-shop” approach with AMOS. The end-users like working in one system and our AMOS administrators appreciate all data being stored in the same database without the need for interfaces. By implementing AMOS LMM, we have simplified our application landscape and introduced an efficient and scalable resource allocation tool." says Severin Achermann, AMOS-LMM Project-Lead, Swiss International Air Lines AG
