In this discussion activity. address the following:
• We have examined the organizational structure of a typical maintenance organization and have reviewed the trend of maintenance outsourcing.

You need to consider who is responsible for the quality of maintenance results.
• How is quality assured during and after the maintenance checks have been completed?
• What effect. if any. does outsourcing have on fleet size?
• From a maintenance management perspective. identify one strength and one weakness for the company outsourcing heavy maintenance.
• Use a comparison of two different airlines that are in operation today to support your rationale presented in your post.
