Abstract(s)
Planning projects is a key for success. In the case of projects with major investments like in aircraft maintenance related projects, it is even more indispensable. It is imperative to have total control of all variables and requirements due the enormous complexity and investment associated, which can lead to huge losses if a reliable plan is not established. This work was developed in a multinational military aviation company on the Airborne Warning and Control System Depot Level Maintenance (DLM) project. This project is characterized by parallel planning and execution phases which shows to be difficult tasks for a traditional project management approach as currently in use. The team faces issues on performing both phases at the same time, which can compromise compliance with project requirements and may decrease customer satisfaction. In order to overcome this problem, after assessing different approaches from the literature, a new approach has been developed to solve the issue that the DLM project was facing. As conclusion, the new approach turned the planning phase much more effective, which allowed to use less resources than before to perform it without interfering on the execution phase. This increased the planning performance, which will provide updated plans to the execution phase, ensuring by that way the compliance with project requirements.
