BGSU professor finds changing common aircraft maintenance practice could save lives
Dr. Hokey Min says extracting necessary parts from existing aircraft for repairs reduces maintenance efficiency

Aircraft maintenance errors have been among the causes of plane crashes about 20% of the time, according to recent Federal Aviation Administration statistics.

management professor helped analyze more than three years of U.S. Air Force data and found that a specific practice might be one of the main issues.
Dr. Hokey Min, the James R. Good Chair in Global Supply Chain Strategy in the
Allen W. and Carol M. Schmidthorst College of Business, said the practice of extracting necessary parts from existing aircraft and using them for repairs in other planes was found to reduce maintenance efficiency.
