 The manager is one of the important people in
an organization. The manager needs to make
sure that the objectives are achieved efficiently
and effectively.
 To ensure the objectives of an organization are
achieved efficiently and effectively, the manager
should be able to make good rational decision
making.
 Needs to ensure that all resources allocated to
him, including human resources.
 Rational decision making process had an 6 step
defining problem, identifying decision criteria,
allocating weight to each criterion, generating
alternatives, evaluating alternatives, selecting
the optimal decisions.
 AIROD is an internationally recognized MRO
organization and was a pioneer of this in the
country and remains Malaysia’s top aviation MRO
center.
 AIROD faced with a problem that causes a delay
in its delivery of the aircraft.
 Hard now to compete with the Thai Aerospace
company and ST Aerospace company.
 AIROD can actually benchmark against ST
Aerospace base on their achievement.
 In order to achieve AIROD vision and mission, it
has to solve the main problem that persists in
AIROD.
 One of the customer aircraft faced with the
problem of the late delivery is a TNI-AU which is
the aircraft are involved with modification on
ETCAS and EGPWS.
 This requires a modern type of the test set were
the test set is not available at AIROD.
 To complete the installation of system
modification, the system required to carry out
the functional test using the appropriate test
set.
 AIROD require to purchase the new test set to
support the installation procedure of the new
system.
Four criteria had been identified to purchase a
new test equipment.
 Price.
 Quality.
 Compatibility.
 Warranty .
 First criteria to be considered before buying the
new test set is a price.
 Most of the test set is very expensive because of
the quality of the test set.
 The price is high because of the test set also
need to meet the requirement some of the
certified body such as EASA (European Aviation
Safety Agency) before getting enter the
worldwide market.
 To meet the requirements of the certified body,
the test must be eligible and suitable to test a
certain system and also need to be scheduled
maintenance and calibrated.
 Normally every part of the aircraft or aircraft
test equipment should go through with
several tests to ensure the quality of the part
or equipment.
 Most of the aircraft spare or aircraft test
equipment are build in high quality because
the test equipment should go through the
test and meet the requirement set by the
certified body such as EASA before entering
the market.
 Before buying a piece of test equipment, the
user should ensure with the system are going
to use using the test equipment and its
compatible or not with the system to be
used.
 Buying test equipment which is can test
several system not only the ETCAS and
EGPWS.
 Before buying new servicing facilities for
AIROD is need to aware the warranty for the
item and the duration of the warranty
period.
 Another thing to be considered is which part
of the item will be covered during the
warranty period.
 Trying to get the test equipment which is
included with free maintenance and servicing
for a certain period.
Comparison to allocating weight to each
criterion.
 First criteria is a compatibility.
 Second criteria is a price.
 Third criteria is a warranty.
 Fourth criteria is quality.

4 alternative to purchase the new test
equipment.
 Aeroflex IFR-6000.
 Aeroflex 2945B.
 Aeroflex ATC600A.
 Aeroflex IFR Cobham ATC-601-2.
 Latest test equipment which is can use as
mobile test equipment, rechargeable power
supply, small size, and suitably used for shop
and ramp area.
 Most commonly used by modern aircraft
which is supporting several systems.
 This test equipment able to test ETCAS and
EGPWS and also can test other transponder
systems installed in the aircraft.
 The price of this test equipment is quite
higher.
 The test equipment that commonly used at
the shop.
 This test equipment can test several
transponder systems which are ETCAS and
EGPWS can be tested using this test
equipment.
 This test equipment can be used at ramp
area but need the extension cable because it
is non-rechargeable type and bulky in size.
 The price is much higher than the Aeroflex
IFR-6000.
 Price is lower than the other test equipment.
 Old version test equipment but still can be
used to check only ETCAS system.
 Suitable for both shop and ramp area
because this test equipment is mobile type
equipment and rechargeable unit but bulky
in size.
 One of the test equipment that commonly
used at the ramp area and not suitable to
used at the shop.
 This test equipment is only able to test
ETCAS and EGPWS systems.
 This test equip can be used at ramp area
because it is rechargeable type but bulky in
size.
 The price is lower than the Aeroflex IFR-
6000.

 The optimal decision can be made through
all the step above is to purchase the Aeroflex
IFR-6000 test equipment.
 This equipment Aeroflex IFR-6000 is the
latest test equipment that can use as mobile
test equipment, rechargeable power supply,
small size, and suitably used for shop and
ramp area.
 Even though the price is higher but it's
reasonable to buy because of the several
issues had been mention in the step above.
 The main AIROD problem is a failure to
prepare aircraft within the time frame given.
 Lack of test equipment is the root cause that
had been identified in the defining problem
above.
 Buying the appropriate test equipment will
reduce the percentage of AIROD problem.
 After through six steps above, the final
decision had been made to buy the Aeroflex
IFR-6000 test equipment which has several
functions.
