Integrated MRO planning of aircrafts and engines over years up to the actual week - Requirements, solutions and benefits in the practice

摘要

Efficient aircraft MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul) requires seamless coordination of expensive resources with the aircrafts maintenance regulations and the constraints of flight schedules. Appropriate MRO planning does not only influence efficiency of MRO activities, but has direct impact on the efficiency of the airlines. An integrated planning solution which covers the entire planning horizon over years up to the actual week is a 'must have' to allow maximal resource utilisation, minimal turnaround times and optimal benefit from advanced working time models like 'annual working time'.
