Flex for Success: Case Study on Maintenance, Repair and Operations
Abstract
This study critiques the adoption of various project management methodologies, underpinning assumptions on resource planning and buffer management. The purpose of this study is to introduce a potential aspect of project management into the mainstream that has been deprived of the attention it deserves due to ever-increasing demands to improve system stability, productivity, and utilization.

Another important aspect to this side is the maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) services, which impact the availability of existing resources or assets of the airlines, directly affecting the balance sheets.
In this study, a diligent attempt has been made to blend in the relevant concepts of project management and introduce best practices to mitigate potential risks or address identified gaps.
