Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
This project aims to improve the efficiency of administrative processes related to the management of the so-called "Deltas" in Airlines Heavy Maintenance Department. A "Delta" is a document or invoice issued by an external maintenance company MRO, (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) after a scheduled check of an aircraft. These documents reflect the final cost of the work performed and often need to be compared to previous estimates in contracts or tenders, as well as the originally planned sequence of work.

Currently, this process is manual and involves processing large amounts of data, which can lead to inefficiencies and delays in verifying information and approving invoices. This project proposes the development of a software tool based on programming languages ''such as Python to centralize and automate the comparison and validation process.

The work plan is as follows:
1. Analyze the current process and gather functional requirements.

2. Define the system infrastructure and modules required for managing and comparing data.

3. Develop a working prototype capable of importing information from Deltas contracts and past contracts and generating discrepancy reports.

4. Validate the prototype through practical cases from real-life situations in a heavy maintenance department.

5. Finalize conclusions and improvement recommendations for future full implementation in a professional environment.

The main goal is to provide a solution that will contribute to standardizing internal procedures and reducing the burden of manual work, improving reliability and speed in managing aircraft maintenance.
 
Orientació a l'estudiant:
Basic knowledge of programming, preferably in Python.

Understanding of databases and ability to handle structured data (e.g., Excel, CSV, SQL).

Analytical skills to identify, compare, and validate data.

Familiarity with aviation maintenance concepts (MRO, contracts, invoices) is an advantage but not strictly necessary.

Availability to dedicate regular time to project tasks (analysis, coding, validation, and documentation).

Ability to work independently and organize tasks according to the proposed work plan.
