“…Gopalan and Talluri (1998) developed a polynomial algorithm to optimise daily routing of A/C to ensure that a certain A/C maintenance center would be reached at the right moment (to allow A/C to schedule maintenance). Mirghani (1996) studied costing elements associated to A/C maintenance. Atkins (1998) identified various informational variables related to management of aeronautical systems.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe the results of research into the support activities of commercial aircraft (A/C).Design/methodology/approachThe work is associated with A/C operations (OPS) providing a structure establishing the A/C sustaining during the in‐service phase. The process involved the implementation of a field survey in order to capture heuristically A/C support practices to enable one to identify system requirements. This part of the work utilized the collaboration of 21 A/C operators and maintenance repair and overhaul companies from various regions of the world.FindingsUsing systems engineering methodology, the research process led to the development of a prototype sustaining system. The solution comprises a tree of support functionalities (similar to a work breakdown structure). The result was verified by major local national airlines which confirmed the ability of the solution in terms of representing a viable structure establishing an A/C sustaining system.Originality/valueThe research initiative presented represents a contribution in the domain of A/C OPS, namely in terms of management aspects, by making available a solution that serves as a reference element, with a holistic nature, that integrates, normalizes and unifies commercial A/C support practices.

“…(2) Since there are different support activities within PM, and since maintenance jobs consume the resources of these activities differently, such differentiation has to be captured in building up a PM job cost (Mirghani, 1996). This issue becomes quite critical when the overhead costs are material (significant) in amount in relation to PM total costs.…”

This paper develops a case study on the application and implementation issues of a framework for costing planned maintenance. It outlines the methodology for the development of the case study and presents the major findings of the existing maintenance-costing system of the organization under study. It presents the results of a pilot study of the application of the proposed costing framework to a sample of planned maintenance jobs. It provides recommendations and identifies critical issues for a successful implementation. Practical implicationsProper cost assignment has a major impact on maintenance operations. The framework in this paper provides an effective tool for cost assignment and tracking cost efficiency. Knowledge about major cost derivers will enable organizations to optimize the utilization of resources in their planned maintenance (PM) activities and processes. Also the costing framework will reveal inefficiencies in the maintenance system and will identify the need for updating maintenance time standards and material requirements planning activities.
