This chapter covers the following topics:
CMRO has grouped four primary business types that may exist in the industry as independent businesses or as some combination of the primary groupings. These business types can be used to visualize and explain the roles and tasks within each business type. This is specifically done for organization and simplicity in describing both the design direction of CMRO and to begin to map the CMRO solution to the known requirements of each business.
The business types defined here are of generic nature and are intended to be used as a starting point for communication of the CMRO offering and direction. As with all Oracle eBusiness applications, specific functional groupings can always be customized at implementation, using the standard Role Based Access Control (RBAC) setups.
The following are the four primary business types:
Aircraft Operator
Includes aircraft maintenance airworthiness monitoring, line maintenance planning and execution, progressive and light to medium checks, strategic planning support, material handling, records entry, and OSP support.
