“…In the civil aircraft domain, the simulation method for aircraft maintenance tends to be prevailing. Most of the works [12][13][14] attempt to combine simulation methods with optimization objectives. Simulation methods are principally used for estimating the performance of optimal model.…”

In the design phase, an effective performance evaluation on the information system model for aircraft maintenance helps better iteratively refine the system design. Although many works have emerged to achieve this aim, complex systems are hard to be completely described and the consideration of real-world processes is missing. Thus, how to investigate the system performance with consideration of the real-world aircraft maintenance is our focus. From our point of view, an agent-based simulation modeling is a promising approach to overcome such problem. In this paper, we develop an agent-based simulation model for the whole maintenance process, focusing on cooperation among sub business processes. This model describes the flight process, cooperation between stakeholders and failure repairs, where scheduled/unscheduled maintenance and with/without uncertain event scenarios have been addressed. The performance evaluation of this model is based on the analysis of impacts of key factors on the airline's service level and maintenance cost.

Implementation of advanced technologies into Aeronautic integrated maintenance concept - Use of virtual reality in ground-floor training maintenance execution

Aviation Maintenance industry, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) procedures need to keep up with the technological evolution and evolve from the 2D support to the 3D. The available manuals for learning and training MRO tasks rely much on old 2D drawings and lists of maintenance steps to be performed sequentially. However, these are complex actions that require and would benefit greatly from a 3D insight in order to be quickly and comprehensible absorbed. Virtual Reality (VR) apps are potentially a suitable option to turn these procedures closer to reality and, thus, improving competences and skills. Amongst the several maintenance optimization developments of the AIRMES project, which is cradled in the EU Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertaking programme, the above concept is applied to maintenance execution by developing a VR app to help practitioners in the process of carrying out specific maintenance activities as removing and positioning components into aircraft structures. The VR app runs on a mobile platform that uses a smartphone and a portable motion capture device coupled with a head mounted device allowing the practitioners to learn and to train onsite on how to proceed with the maintenance operations. The practitioners will be in an immersive and interactive environment where both the host aircraft structure section with the target component and auxiliary/peripheral systems parts are displayed and in which the 3D component can be removed by virtual hands that emulate, through the motion capture device, the hands of the user. The system developed provides a high-level training and reliable information to the technician on the maintenance operations for a dedicated situation and facilitate the identification and execution of the procedure to be applied, improving the time for repair.

“…Resource planning is also a very critical aspect to be tackled at the tactical level, as resources can be either human or non-human in nature. For example, Van et al (2013) develop a three-stage approach of personnel rostering (i.e., human scheduling) for aircraft maintenance, whereas de Almeida. (2001) are seeking to optimize spare-provisioning (i.e., non-human resource allocation).…”

Today's largest and fastest growing companies' assets are no longer physical, but rather digital (software, algorithms. . . ). This is all the more true in the manufacturing, and particularly in the maintenance sector where quality of enterprise maintenance services are closely linked to the quality of maintenance data reporting procedures. If quality of the reported data is too low, it can results in wrong decision-making and loss of money. Furthermore, various maintenance experts are involved and directly concerned about the quality of enterprises' daily maintenance data reporting (e.g., maintenance planners, plant managers. . . ), each one having specific needs and responsibilities. To address this Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem, and since data quality is hardly considered in existing expert maintenance systems, this paper develops a Maintenance Reporting Quality Assessment (MRQA) dashboard that enables any company stakeholder to easily -and in real-time -assess/rank company branch offices in terms of maintenance reporting quality. From a theoretical standpoint, AHP is used to integrate various data quality dimensions as well as expert preferences. A use case describes how the proposed MRQA dashboard is being used by a Finnish multinational equipment manufacturer to assess and enhance reporting practices in a specific or a group of branch offices.
