The brave new world has already reached the maintenance hangar, ten years ago we had one person who's workload was 100% paperwork and as chief engineer I spent about 80% of my time in the hangar & 10% on paperwork.
Now we have three people who do 100% paperwork and I spend 40% of my time in the hangar & 60% on paperwork.
The overburden of the paperwork is now reducing the time that the supervising staff have to inspect aircraft and oversee work............ in my opinion EASA has reduced safety NOT enhanced it while driving the costs up.
