EMBRAER IMPLEMENTS MRO-ERP SYSTEM AT ITS FIVE OWN CENTERS
Component Control’s Quantum software manages all of Embraer’s maintenance activities
São José dos Campos, October 20, 2009 – Embraer has concluded the implementation of
Component Control’s Quantum Control TM Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software at
its five own Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) centers, worldwide. The agreement
between the companies was announced in June 2007.
The first Embraer MRO facility to fully implement the Quantum software was Embraer
Aircraft Maintenance Services (EAMS), in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S., in April 2008.
The two dedicated Embraer Executive Jets service centers in the U.S., in Mesa, Arizona, and Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, which recently commemorated their first year of operations, also
implemented the ERP solution in 2008. Quantum Control’s integrated applications and easy-touse
features enabled both centers to receive Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification,
confirming Embraer’s commitment to become a major player in the business aviation market.
By early 2009, Embraer Aviation International, in Le Bourget, France, also had the system
running. This month, the Embraer Service Center in Gavião Peixoto, Brazil, finished
implementing the software, thus granting all Embraer service centers global standardization
and integration.
Quantum Control TM combines aircraft services, distribution and rotable management of spare
parts, hangar and contact controls, accounting, e-commerce, and other business functions in
one dynamic updatable software suite. It provides the perfect scaleable infrastructure
technology to support Embraer’s growing MRO business, worldwide.
