Its success speaks for itself. In 2015, revenues rose by 13 % to € 4.4 billion, operating profit by 15 % to € 440 million, and net income by 21 % to € 307 million. One factor above all others is crucial to MTU’s suc- cess in the global engine market: the performance of its 8,334 employees. Day in, day out, they give their all to ensure that MTU delivers high-tech products known all over the world and provides services that meet the highest international standards. In doing so, they help keep the company on its growth trajec- tory. MTU’s employees are the engine makers. 2 The engine makers 8,334 keys to success Management, development, production, maintenance – the success of MTU Aero Engines depends on a team of 8,334 experts, who devote their energies to engines in all phases of their lifecycle and at all points in the value chain. The lifecycle of an engine can last as long as an employee’s working life, with 30 years or more passing between the original models and phase-out. MTU employees look after an engine throughout such a lifecycle – devoting their entire careers to it in the process. Their high degree of specialization ensures consistently high quality, from the development and production phases through to maintenance. 3 CENTRAL TASKS IN THE ENGINE LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT PRODUCTION MAINTENANCE The lifecycle of an aircraft engine can run for more than 30 years. Prior to the development phase, the program management team has already defined the key parameters. In close cooperation with the OEM partners, the program management team defines the key parameters of every new engine program – parameters the developers need in order to do their work. As the development phase progresses, the interaction between the developers and the production team becomes ever closer, the aim being to ensure the smooth ramp-up of series production. At the same time, the maintenance team begins configuring the MRO program for the new engine generation, which will provide an attractive income source over many decades. 4 MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT PRODUCTION MAINTENANCE The engine makers in MANAGEMENT The program management team is the nerve center of all of MTU’s engine business activities.
