Data Gathering Methodologies to Identify Impact Variables in Aviation Maintenance

摘要

Impact variables are factors which must be taken into account to assure quality maintenance inspection. There are methodologies to collect and interpret information on impact variables. The choice of a particular methodology is based on factors such as the type of data to be gathered, the manner in which the data is applied, and the time available for data collection. The methodology employed has a direct effect on the quality and value of the information collected. This research analyzes data collection methodologies such as observation sessions, interviews, and surveys for the identification of impact variables in aviation maintenance.
