The key purpose of any effective maintenance planning and scheduling software is to make the role of the planner easier, more effective and more reliable. There are a range of software solutions on the market, each achieving that basic goal -and much more - in different ways. "The essentials of maintenance and planning software are to give users access to full maintenance schedule details, allow for changes to be made easily, and for utilisation and maintenance due lists to be updated in real time, providing up-to-date and actionable data," says JSSI's SVP of business development EMEA APAC Mark Winzar. Swiss AviationSoftware's sales representative Chris Clements adds that "core essentials" come down to accurate management and control of the data and the system's ability to handle the complexity that comes with today's fleets. "With effectivity of maintenance tasks changing based on configuration, both hardware and software, as well as modification status and aircraft mission status, a software system is expected to ensure that all tasks for all aircraft are accounted for and performed as required with minimal daily input," he says.
