Maintenance Steering Group (MSG) Processes

In 1968 the Maintenance Steering Group (MSG) was created with a mandate to formulate a
decision logic process used for development of the initial scheduled maintenance requirements
for new aircraft. The group was composed of participants from various aviation bodies,
including the Air Transport Association (ATA), airlines, aircraft manufacturers, suppliers, and
FAA representatives.

That same year representatives of the steering group developed MSG-1-Maintenance


Evaluation and Program Development", which for the first time used a decision-logic diagram to
develop the scheduled maintenance program for the new Boeing 747 aircraft. Both hard-time
and on-condition processes were used for development of the aircrafts routine maintenance
tasks.
