Maintenance Resource Management

The Professional Aviation Maintenance Association has announced a new addition to its popular series of Professional Development Workshops, which are offered each year at PAMA’s Annual Maintenance Symposium.

“Maintenance Resource Management” will focus on decreasing accidents and incidents while increasing safety and professionalism. The workshop will show professional technicians how to reduce operational costs and prevent accidents and injuries. Through accident investigation review and class interaction, participants will learn the impact they have on their organization’s success.

“Traditional maintenance training courses deal with operating knowledge of specific aircraft systems, systems analysis, and the ability to identify and correct malfunctions. Maintenance professionals have demonstrated proficiency in the arena of technical competence; however, doing a task correctly is only half of what is required, said Brian Finnegan, PAMA President. “With downsizing and increasing costs, every task must be completed effectively, safely, and efficiently. Showing the technician how to accomplish this is what this course is all about.”

The two-day training session will be led by Al Krusz, Director of Maintenance Training Plans/Corporate Counselor, FlightSafety International. It will be held at Harrah’s Las Vegas on Sunday, March 6 and Monday, March 7, 2005 from 0800 to 1700. PAMA will offer other Professional Development Workshops, including: Aviation Maintenance Management, Savvy Piston Aircraft Maintenance, Vital Communications Skills for Today’s Maintenance Leaders, Aviation Accident Investigation for Mechanics, and AED/CPR Training.
