Internet Research 2 : MROs in the News
This is our second current event research on MROs in this course aimed at reinforcing
management and operation of MROs as business entities. For this assignment, find an article in
an MRO related journal or other current resource which discusses the responsibilities of
maintenance and engineering functions in an MRO. Any type or size of MRO can be utilized for
this activity. Utilize the resources provided in Module 2’s Internet Research activity as the starting
point for your research.
After reading the article, write a 1-2 page synopsis of your findings. Include details of the MRO
company and relate how the engineering and maintenance departments are structured, i.e.
overlapping tasks, integrated activities, etc. Try to find a detail that is unusual about this MRO
with regards to engineering and maintenance. Perhaps the company is very technology oriented
or on the cutting edge with a new tool or resource.
