The FAA requires that Part 121 air carriers maintain a Continuing Analysis and Surveillance System (CASS)- a quality control system where the company is continuously monitoring its maintenance programs, recognizing potential issues, and making corrections. Accumulating the data involved can be arduous and time-consuming. Tsunami Tsolutions can do more than just help you stay in compliance. Services include evaluating program documentation, processes, and tools to either develop an initial program or enhance the existing CASS process. With our understanding of the interrelationships between compliance programs and our IT expertise, we can ensure the interfaces into the reliability and safety management programs are simple and effective.
Engineering services can also include authoring of technical documents, development of training materials, delivering training and support of accurate record-keeping – a vital service for any business that operates, sells, maintains or leases aircraft engines and rotable components.

Tsunami Tsolutions can implement the tools and processes necessary to capture, organize, and analyze operational and performance data from your aircraft, engines, and smart subsystems. We can support application of the process to help diagnose emerging issues and prevent major disruptive events while optimizing your service interval or on-wing time. Tsunami also provides spares planning integration with removal forecasting, ensuring spares are prepositioned and available to coincide with a maintenance visit.
Tsunami Tsolutions will help you develop your maintenance program so that your assets will spend more time in the air than in the repair cycle. From maintenance task analysis services, program development and modernization, to maintenance bridging programs that help you efficiently integrate new aircraft into your fleet, we can keep your maintenance facilities running more efficiently.
Condition-Based Maintenance-Plus (CBM+) is the application and integration of appropriate processes, technologies, and knowledge-based capabilities to improve the reliability and maintenance effectiveness of systems and components. At its core, CBM+ is maintenance performed based on Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) analysis and other enabling processes and technologies, including prognostic health management. CBM+ uses a system engineering approach to collect data, enable analysis, and support the decision-making processes for system acquisition, sustainment, and operations. Tsunami can help customers move from an unscheduled, reactive approach to a proactive and predictive approach that is driven by condition sensing and integrated, analysis-based decisions. Additionally, our team can help with technology insertion that improves maintenance capabilities and processes and integrates the support elements to enable enhanced maintenance-centric logistics system responses. With more accurate predictions of impending failures (based on real-time condition data), coupled with more timely and effective repairs, moving toward CBM+ will result in dramatic savings.
Continuing Analysis and Surveillance System (CASS) is a program mandated by the FAA for certain operators. Its purpose is to improve the effectiveness of inspection and maintenance programs by continuously monitoring and collecting data and making changes based on that data, as necessary.
A Reliability Program is the basis for any maintenance and inspection program surveillance function in a CASS. We have the expertise to collect and analyze that data, enabling your CASS and reliability programs to be of the greatest benefit to your organization, reducing risk, increasing availability, and driving continual improvement.
If your CASS or Reliability program is not working to your satisfaction, or you are looking for improved technology with advanced analytics to take you to a new level of maintenance efficiency, call Tsunami Tsolutions today.

Reverse logistics is the process of knowing when to reuse your repairable assets, such as spare parts, engines, or components – and when to scrap or recycle them. Eventually the cost of repairing or overhauling a unit will exceed the value of its remaining life. Tsunami Tsolutions has the knowledge and experience to develop and implement a system that will allow you to track the performance and reliability of your assets, while being aware of their remaining useful life. Knowing when to repair a unit and when to scrap it will streamline inventory and minimize your maintenance costs.
