Organization of Line Maintenance Hangar Equipment

The aim of this article is a better organization of an aircraft maintenance equipment in the hangar stand of the Line Maintenance of the Czech Airline Technics company. The theoretical part of the article is about introduction of a situation and a description of used methods. The practical part is about the better organization itself and it arose from a requirement to propose an order for the current unorganized placement of the equipment. Effective organization of the workplace is proposed with regards to set criteria which were processed with the use of a coordinate method and multi-criteria decision making. The coordinate method finds ideal placement for the equipment presented in the hangar. It takes into consideration the places of use as well as other places affecting the placement. The multi-criteria decision making is used to evaluate the benefit of each equipment. With the consideration of the 5S method principles, the output of the article is a practical implementation of the described process of the better organization of the equipment in the newly built hangar S at the Václav Havel Airport, Prague, Czech Republic. The implementation achieved standardization of the inner organization, setting of rules and solving tasks needed for getting the new hangar into operation.
