...Rolls-Royce: A Manufacturer at Your Service Why can we state that Rolls-Royce has become a service provider? What kind of services do they offer? Rolls-Royce took back control of their after-sales in the late 1990s (because competition led to a drop in margins) and they became a significant source of revenue for the company (63% of total civil aerospace revenues come from aftermarket services). Before that, much of after-sales service had been given to third parties. After-sales is actually a service and that is why we can state that Rolls-Royce has become a service provider. They created a highly customer-centric business model that combined manufacturing and services. The services they offer: * The after-sales services they offered were mainly maintenance contracts based on the concept of ‘Power by the hour’. This means that the customers paid a fixed maintenance fee per aircraft flight hour (i.e. only when the engines are running). For this, Rolls-Royce offered to maintain the engines and replace them if they broke down. The company offered different service packages for different customers: - TotalCare for the civil aerospace business. - CorporateCare for the operators of business jets. - Mission Ready Management Solutions (MRMS) for the defense aerospace business. - Other after-sales programs for its customers in its other businesses like marine propulsion and energy. Rolls-Royce earned the most profits from its services offered to its customers in the...

...Chapter 5 Types of Maintenance Programs � 5.1 Introduction What is maintenance and why is it performed? Past and current maintenance practices in both the private and government sectors would imply that maintenance is the actions associated with equipment repair after it is broken. The dictionary defines maintenance as follows: “the work of keeping something in proper condition; upkeep.” This would imply that maintenance should be actions taken to prevent a device or component from failing or to repair normal equipment degradation experienced with the operation of the device to keep it in proper working order. Unfortunately, data obtained in many studies over the past decade indicates that most private and government facilities do not expend the necessary resources to maintain equipment in proper working order. Rather, they wait for equipment failure to occur and then take whatever actions are necessary to repair or replace the equipment. Nothing lasts forever and all equipment has associated with it some predefined life expectancy or operational life. For example, equipment may be designed to operate at full design load for 5,000 hours and may be designed to go through 15,000 start and stop cycles. The need for maintenance is predicated on actual or impending failure – ideally, maintenance is performed to keep equipment and systems running efficiently for at least design life of the component(s). As such, the practical operation of a component is time-based function. If...

For the most part, these advancements are beneficial to consumers, however, the advancements have also made it necessary for the government to step in to create acts in order to set restrictions and help protect consumers’ rights. Two of the acts implemented are the Children’s Internet Protection Act, 2000 and the Do Not Call Implementation Act, 2003. The Children’s Internet Protection Act, 2000 is a federal law that requires schools and libraries to certify that they have an Internet safety policy that takes measures to block or filter Internet access to pictures that are obscene or child pornographic and, for computers that are accessible to minors, pictures that are harmful to minors. Schools and libraries are also required to implement an Internet safety policy which addresses minors’ access to inappropriate matter, minors’ use of electronic mail and chat rooms, unauthorized access by minors online, disclosure of personal information regarding minors, and minors’ access to harmful materials. Also, schools are required to monitor online activities of minors (Federal Communications Commission Guide, 2011). The advances in information technology that resulted in the Children’s Internet Protection Act, 2000 are the popularity of the Internet and the ease of access to share information through this source.

...The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) was established to protect people from the increasingly intrusive methods employed by telemarketers. Information technology advances such as auto-dialers, predictive dialers, and automated faxes made it easier to reach large numbers of businesses and households in a relatively short time. These methods were not only highly annoying to consumers, but through the use of these devices, telemarketing companies were also passing some of the cost of marketing onto the consumer. Consumers on the receiving end of numerous calls from various companies throughout the day were spending time that could have been spent in other activities and were rightly frustrated about the loss of their time. In the case of automated faxes, resources such as paper, ink, and even the data connection being used to receive what is essentially junk mail was a cost the consumer had no way to avoid. Fortunately, lawmakers responded to this unethical action of telemarketing companies with the TCPA. Specifically, the law makes it illegal to use auto-dialers and pre-recorded voice messages to make sales calls to emergency phone lines, medical offices, hospital rooms, homes for the elderly, paging services, or cellular phones. It also requires the recipient of pre-recorded telemarketing calls to give prior consent to receive the calls. It also made it illegal to send unsolicited fax messages. The law also gave states their own authority to regulate...
