Quantum everything is linked together so shipping and receiv- ing was streamlined as well.” Produced by San Diego-based Component Control, Quantum Control is an aviation-specific ERP platform combining MRO, Aircraft Services, Hangar Management, Inventory man- agement, Accounting, E-com- merce, Sales and Invoicing, and other business functions into one integrated software suite.


According to Simpson, the effi- ciencies gained from Quantum have already led to an increase in Heliworks’ capability such that one goal of the 37-person repair station is to complete one heli- copter rebuild per month in 2011. This is in addition to completing several Bell 206L1 to 206L4 upgrades and miscella- neous airframe repairs. “We currently have three


rebuilds and 5 (Bell 206L1) tail-

booms in the hangar,” said Simpson. “Each L1 to L4 upgrade takes up to 2000 man hours, and rebuilds take up to 4400 man hours. Before Quantum, we were losing track of man hours because there was no check and balance system. Now Quantum forces the


mechanics to barcode in and out at the beginning and end of each step, and we know exactly how long it takes to complete each work order. This tracks our labor hours and allows us to more accurately quote customer projects.” ◆
