Protect MRO turnaround time, from induction to release

Repair plans rarely survive first inspection. Pelico shows you what each new finding or missing part costs in TAT, and how to win it back.

Pelico runs inside some of the world’s most demanding aftermarket operations, from engine and landing gear overhaul to component repair to spares distribution. Names withheld for confidentiality.

The execution gap

An MRO delay never stays on one module

In MRO, the work scope and the work that turns up on the bench are two different things, and the distance between them is too wide to close with ERP extracts and morning meetings. That distance is the execution gap: plans are built in systems that assume stability, and executed in conditions that offer none.

Nobody sees which units a late part holds up

A teardown finding or a slipped spare runs through every kit, module, and test slot that depends on it. The full exposure only shows once turnaround is already at risk.

The shop runs on four different lists

Repairs, spares sales, planning, and materials each track the same delay in their own system and spreadsheet. Recovery waits until someone walks the floor and lines them up.

The call comes after the bay sits idle

Which unit to expedite, which part to swap, which customer to call: those decisions wait for the daily meeting. By then the bay has sat idle and the date has moved.

How Pelico orchestrates MRO execution

Pelico is the Manufacturing Orchestration Platform that closes the execution gap. It reads what's actually happening across your shop systems, traces where a finding or a late part lands, and coordinates the response while the turnaround can still be saved.

Every team sees which units a part holds up

Pelico connects ERP, inspection, supplier portals, and the shop floor into one picture. It understands serialized assemblies, configuration changes, and kit dependencies, and traces a late part to every unit, module, and test slot it blocks.

One priority list for the whole shop

When a finding or a slip lands, materials, planning, and spares sales work it in the same place, on the same options: expedite, swap, or resequence. Ownership is explicit, and specialized AI agents take the defined steps while people make the calls, so bays keep moving.

Shop leaders see TAT risk before the customer asks

Pelico rolls turnaround risk up by unit, bay, and customer, so leaders can say what's late, why, and when it will ship. Not a report a planner spent the first hour of the day building. It's the difference between explaining a slipped TAT and protecting it.

FAQ

Findings are normal in MRO, not exceptions. When inspection adds work, Pelico updates the parts needed and the TAT exposure for that work order, so the plan reflects what’s actually on the bench instead of the original work scope.

Pelico traces which work orders each late spare is holding back and how much turnaround time it puts at risk. It then shows planners what to do next, like expediting the part, reallocating one from another work order, or resequencing the shop, before the date slips.

Most MRO teams use Pelico daily within about 12 weeks of kickoff. One aerospace transmission MRO operation cut missing parts by 72% within six weeks.
