Development
of Web-based Surveillance and Auditing Tool to analyze Aircraft
Maintenance Operations
This
project is funded by Federal Aviation Administration. The
objective of this research will be to develop and implement
an application tool to perform surveillance and auditing
activities to ensure that a consistent level of supervision
is maintained over aircraft maintenance operations . The
system will promote a standardized format for data collection,
reduction and analysis to proactively identify the contributing
factors of improper maintenance.
This
effort involves a team that will bring together a research
university and an industry partner. The P.I. has extensive
expertise in aircraft inspection and maintenance processes,
human/machine systems design, training and the use of advanced
technology to solve challenging human-machine systems design
problems. The co-P.I.’s expertise is in human/computer
systems and in the use and application of user-centered
design methodologies, as well as demonstrable results from
previous FAA, NASA, NSF and DOE grants. Moreover, both have
the resources of the Human Computer Systems Laboratory
at Clemson University at their disposal. FedEx being the
industry partner will contribute experienced practitioners
and test beds for integrating and testing the
web-based tool.
