Delivery of MSN5000 Airbus A320 Family −
a Milestone for Liebherr-Aerospace
Airbus Partially Delegates Responsibilities
to Liebherr-Aerospace
Airbus has recently started to share more
responsibilities within the design, build,
verification and validation process of its
aircraft with risk sharing partners. Airbus
performed assessments and audits to
check the process definitions and their
application in its suppliers’ daily business.
As a result of this analysis, Liebherr-
Aero space Lindenberg GmbH has re-
ceived its first official approval from
Airbus for the so called “Management
and Cascade of the Organization
Authority & Signatory”. The scope of
activities Airbus Design Organization
has delegated to Liebherr-Aerospace
Lindenberg GmbH is defined by
a “Design Organization
Interface
Document”.
In addition to the signatory rights delegat-
ed internally, experienced employees of
Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH
have been granted rights to sign specif-
ic documents towards the authorities.
Liebherr-Aero space Lindenberg GmbH
was turned from a line organization di-
vided into different disciplines into a
process-oriented company. Today’s
management system is focused on six
business processes describing the pro-
cedure from predefined required inputs,
through the process and its methods to
achieve defined outputs.
In January 2012, Airbus delivered
MSN5000 of the single-aisle program,
an A320, to Middle East Airlines based
in Beirut (Lebanon).
Since the start of this program Liebherr-
Aerospace has supplied more than
40,000 flap gear rotary actuators, 15,000
rudder surface control actuators, 50,000
slat rotary actuators, 10,000 air condi-
tioning packs, 40,000 engine bleed air
valves as well as a vast array of other
components.
Producing close to 40 units of its A320
aircraft per month, Airbus relies on a
high-performance supply chain to feed
its final assembly line with quality pro-
ducts delivered on time. As a result, this
program generates significant work-
loads at Liebherr-Aerospace’s produc-
tion facilities.
As over 270 airlines operating these
aircraft worldwide require efficient
support, Liebherr-Aerospace provides
customer services from its facilities in
Toulouse (France), Lindenberg (Germany),
Saline (Michigan, USA), Singapore and
Shanghai (China) 24 hours a day and
7 days a week all year round.
