Comments<br />

� Non-food trolleys are not stored but simply replenished in the Commissary / Bonded Facility.<br />

Questions<br />

Main issues Impacts / Measurable information to share<br />

� Since U/S trolleys can only be repaired<br />

at one of the airline’s hub, there are<br />

many ways to ensure U/S trolleys<br />

reaching a hub. They can be shipped by<br />

truck or in the belly. However, too often,<br />

the U/S Tag is simply removed <strong>and</strong> the<br />

trolley put back in service.<br />

� Since airlines <strong>and</strong> Caterers do not really<br />

know how many trolleys are needed to<br />

support operations <strong>and</strong> how many<br />

serviceable trolleys are on h<strong>and</strong>,<br />

overstock situations exist.<br />

� Unsafe practice which forces Cabin Crew<br />

to re-tag the trolley as unserviceable.<br />

� Overstock puts pressure on available<br />

space.<br />

Needs Added value<br />

� Allow for automated detection of U/S � Facilitate segregation. Ensure U/S trolleys<br />

trolleys at Equipment Store <strong>and</strong> ensure<br />

are not used for operations again prior to<br />

that U/S ID can only be cancelled by<br />

Maintenance staff.<br />

being repaired.<br />

� Allow for automated inventory control. � Know how many trolleys are needed<br />

to<br />

support operations <strong>and</strong> how many<br />

serviceable trolleys are on h<strong>and</strong>.<br />
