Boeing
is to supply GoldCare lifecycle support services to Rolls-Royce plc for the UK company's
Trent 1000 engine TotalCare program.
The GoldCare Material Management
provides repair and overhaul for 787 Dreamliner underwing rotable airplane components as an option for Rolls-Royce Trent 1000
TotalCare service agreements. This allows Rolls-Royce to integrate support of these components
into TotalCare to provide a more complete solution for the Trent 1000.
More than 500 Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines have been ordered for the 787, and 80% of all
Trent customers since 2001 have selected TotalCare services.
"We're proud to add value to Rolls-Royce's TotalCare program and better serve airline customers with lifecycle solutions through a
predictable per-flight-hour pricing approach," said John Borst, director, GoldCare Materials Management at Boeing.
GoldCare is Boeing's flexible range of comprehensive lifecycle management services for the 787 Dreamliner, offering new strategic business
choices for customers to boost airplane availability, reduce cost and improve efficiency as they acquire, operate and transition their fleets.
To deliver GoldCare services, Boeing leads a global team performing maintenance, engineering and spares logistics tasks at a predictable
per-flight-hour cost.
GoldCare services for airlines provide 24x7 operations-center support using enabling technologies to turn airplane operating data into
actionable information to enhance efficiency and maximize airplane availability.
