An Integrated Logistics Model of Spare Parts Maintenance Planning within the Aviation Industry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Avoidable unscheduled maintenance events and unnecessary spare parts deliveries are mostly caused by an incorrect choice of the underlying maintenance strategy. For a faster and more efficient supply of spare parts for aircrafts of an airline we examine options for improving the underlying logistics network integrated in an existing aviation industry network. This paper presents a dynamic prediction model as decision support for maintenance method selection considering requirements of an entire flight network. The objective is to guarantee a high supply of spare parts by an optimal interaction of various network levels and thus to reduce unscheduled maintenance events and minimize total costs. By using a prognostics-based preventive maintenance strategy unscheduled component failures are avoided for an increase in availability and reliability of the entire system. The model is intended for use in an aviation company that utilizes a structured planning process based on collected failures data of components. Keywords—Aviation industry, Prognosis, Reliability, Preventive maintenance.

متن کاملMaintenance Planning Optimization Based on PHM Information and Spare Parts Availability
Maintenance planning plays an important role in assets management because it directly affects assets availability. In the aviation industry, maintenance planning becomes even more important due to the high availability expectations from aircraft operators and the high costs incurred when an aircraft becomes out of service. Gathering and combining all the relevant information to generate an opti...

Aircraft maintenance planning and scheduling constitute planning, control and execution of materials (spare parts), operations (inspection, disassembly and assembly activities) and resources (labour, machines, transport equipment, etc.). This is a complex problem due to large number of components involved at various planning and execution levels, and the size/nature of resource-intensive mainte...

Production planning and maintenance are two important problems in manufacturing systems. Despite the relationship exists between these two problems due to sudden failures and production capacity occupied by maintenance activities, each of these problems planned separately and as a result program and model efficiencies reduce in the real world. The aim of integrated production and maintena...
