Process Structure Proposal for the Automation of Aircraft Maintenance Planning
摘要
Planning and scheduling for aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) companies are always critical for assuring the availability and accuracy of the aircraft’s release back into service, which guarantees the maximum utilization of the operators’ planes and minimum time on the ground. The construction of a well-structured logic for tasks’ priority performance and precedency is a main factor for achieving the objective of effective planning and scheduling. This paper will focus on the importance of creating such a structure and highlighting the benefits it provides to the overall maintenance process. Maintenance staff, supervisors, technicians, and external service providers may coordinate their efforts and resources based on a shared knowledge of work priorities. This unified strategy boosts productivity, reduces uncertainties, and minimizes wasted time of manually distributing those tasks.
