Japan Airlines International launched JAL Mighty, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for aviation maintenance.

IBM Japan, IBM Business Consulting Services (IBCS) and SAP Japan Co. Ltd. collaborated on the project to create a system to manage maintenance planning, quality control and parts inventory for approximately 160 aircraft, 460 engines and 500,000 parts.

Also equipped with 19 standard SAP modules to serve approximately 6,000 users including aircraft mechanics, the system integrates approximately 100 business systems for maintenance planning, quality control and parts inventory for aircraft, as well as qualification management of aircraft mechanics into one SAP ERP package to standardize business processes and share real-time information.

As a result, IBM said operational complexity due to multiple maintenance systems and separate data management is reduced, and management processes of maintenance planning, quality control of aircraft parts inventory are streamlined while improving safety in the air.
