worked together to develop a wireless system that would aide in the maintenance of its aircraft (Pryma, 2002). The e-Toolbox is described as a system to facilitate the maintenance procedures
"by wireless access to electronic documents and the Air Canada maintenance systems to the airlines line mechanics" (Pryma, 2002, p. NA). Line mechanics are responsible for the maintenance activities
between the time an aircraft lands and the time it takes off again (Pryma, 2002). These are items that can be fixed quickly, like making adjustments to sound systems,
changing tires and other things that do not require the aircraft be taken to the shop for (Pryma, 2002). This system allows line mechanics to access numerous documents about the
plane and fix them according to safety and standard criteria (Pryma, 2002). These documents include things like data regarding a specific planes arrival and departure schedule, "maintenance and troubleshooting
manuals, parts availability" (Pryma, 2002, p. NA). In other words, it saves time as well as the chance for errors and in so doing increases maintenance efficiency. The maintenance
crew uses very sturdy laptop computers that were reinforced for the severe weather conditions in the country (Pryma, 2002). Some of the laptops are "mounted in trucks, turning them into
mobile offices" (Pryma, 2002, p. NA). The portability of the laptops allows maintenance workers to bring them on the plane, if they need to, or anyplace else (Pryma, 2002). The
author reports it took the workers about ten minutes to learn how to use the system (Pryma, 2002). Southwest uses a system that sounds similar. Their inspectors use tablets to
problems they find with the plane and that information is transmitted wirelessly to kiosks (Kontzer, 2005). The system has resulted in about a 15 percent reduction in the time it
