Maintenance Human Factors:

    Investing in Regulation and Beyond - What’s in it for Us?

 

Conference at Bentley Priory, Stanmore, 18 October 2006

 

Organized by the Royal Aeronautical Society Human Factors Group,

Engineering Maintenance Standing Group (EMSG)

 

Venue:  Bentley Priory, Stanmore, North London, HA7 3HH                           Date:  18 October 2006

 

Objective:  The aviation industry carries additional costs due to Maintenance Human Errors, which appear to defy innovative approaches to tackle the problem.  The challenge to implement sound and safe working practices is built on the premise that error reduction is more cost effective than the costs of rework, recovery and poor reputation.

 

The conference will explore:

 

This conference will be of interest to Accountable Managers, Quality Managers and those engaged in the management of Flight Safety, Maintenance and Planning.  It is particularly relevant for those people who must be able to demonstrate that Human Error Reduction Programmes will enhance bottom line returns.

 

The conference aims to bring together speakers and delegates representing a wide spectrum of industry experience and expertise in Maintenance Management, Safety, Regulation, Finance and Academic institutions.

 

The conference will seek to promote ideas and discussion which add value to businesses yet remain sensitive to the needs and concerns of the conference delegates.

 

The cost of the conference is £70 including refreshments. Conference presentations will be available on the HFG website after the event (www.raes-hfg.com).  RAeS HFG mini conferences are organized on a non-profit making basis, by volunteers, to promote aviation safety.  All proceeds go towards covering costs and the production and distribution of safety related material.
