Driving LEAN MRO operations with the industry’s preferred
software solution EPCOR deploys Quantum Control MRO & Logistics Software as its operational system to streamline work processes and foster LEAN business initiatives. The Challenge
EPCOR, back in 2005, needed a software solution to unify and improve its business processes as part of its ongoing LEAN SIX SIGMA effort. Because of this continuous improvement mindset, EPCOR was also searching for a software vendor that would welcome collaboration on future software improvements and integrate the aviation commu- nity’s best-practice advancements into the software.
The Solution
EPCOR selected Quantum MRO & Logistics software for several signif- icant reasons:
• Component Control was very open to collaborating with EPCOR to develop the Quantum Shop Control module that is specifi- cally made to comprehensively manage aircraft MRO of compo- nents and their associated quality control requirements.
• EPCOR could integrate all of their business software into Quantum

to have a single repository of busi- ness data to quickly search and respond to business needs.
• Component Control’s software improvement philosophy meant that Quantum would be a living software that adapted over time to encompass evolving industry best practices
Commented Joost Bosman, Quantum Program Manager at EPCOR, “With Quantum, EPCOR has operations focused software opti- mized specifically for running a LEAN aviation MRO environment. The ongoing successful use of Quantum at EPCOR has resulted in parent company AFI KLM E&M leveraging Quantum to automate surplus part sales and streamline corresponding background logistics.”
With this partnership, Air BP customers will benefit from comprehensive training in an easy to administer, self-paced and self-directed online platform through NATA Safety 1st. “We are pleased at Air BP North America to have our customers aligned to and learning from the industry leader, NATA. The NATA Safety 1st program is an excellent benefit to the aviation community and for the safety of all,” says John Stumpf, Air BP NA operations manager. “Achieving safety in aviation operations takes teamwork
and we are very pleased to add Air BP NA to the Safety 1st team, “says Thomas L. Hendricks, NATA president
