Efficient tool tracking and management are critical in Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations, particularly in aviation, where compliance, safety, and operational efficiency are paramount. This study evaluates the implementation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in tool control within Philippine MRO facilities, addressing challenges in tool retrieval, loss prevention, and accountability. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative feedback from maintenance personnel to assess RFID’s impact on tool tracking. Data were collected on retrieval times, tool loss rates, and inventory accuracy, while interviews and surveys provided insights into user satisfaction and challenges encountered. Key findings indicate an 83% reduction in tool retrieval time, a 70% decrease in tool loss incidents, and an 85% improvement in inventory accuracy, underscoring RFID’s effectiveness in enhancing operational efficiency and compliance. Despite the benefits, challenges such as initial costs, technical issues, and the need for comprehensive training were identified. This study highlights RFID’s transformative potential in aviation maintenance, particularly for developing markets, and recommends phased implementation, ongoing training, and system updates to optimize performance. Future research should examine RFID’s long-term cost-effectiveness and adaptability in other aviation maintenance contexts.
