“…They can produce or purchase from multiple suppliers and be responsible for delivering an integrated system. Raju et al [20] corroborate that the modern day military and commercial aircraft systems are an integration of a large number of sub-systems and components. This is an extensive check of individual systems and components for serviceability and function.…”

The purpose of this paper is to present the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and aeronautical industry literature review, providing insights related to strategies of MRO business models. The fundamentals of MRO services and the aeronautical industry have been identified through an extensive literature review. The impact of the MRO outsourcing model was then investigated from the perspective of each stakeholder (aircraft original equipment manufacturers -OEMs, repair shops, system suppliers and airlines) using a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis. First, MRO basic concepts were identified: how FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) classifies repair and how MRO is performed. This study also analyzed a simplified parts and MRO services flow in the aeronautical industry, characterizing two important stakeholders: customers and repair shops. Although the production parts purchasing process is fairly simple, the spare parts process requires more attention due to the many players involved. Finally, the SWOT analysis identified strong competition between stakeholders; however, the investigation indicates that there is a tendency for the market to build partnerships between stakeholders to expand market penetration.

Optimisation of Flight and Maintenance Planning for Defence Aviation with Modified Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

The planning of flight operations and maintenance is a crucial activity for both commercial and military aircraft. Military aircraft have to be always mission-ready. The task of ensuring this can become quite challenging when several operational requirements and maintenance constraints are to be fulfilled simultaneously. This paper, therefore, addresses the optimisation of flight and maintenance planning (FMP) when several diverse factors such as aircraft flying hours (AFH), flight cycles (FC), calendar life, annual flying requirement (AFR), etc. are to be factored in. Such a problem has not been considered previously. Because the problem can become unwieldy to solve by other methods, two schemes, that is, the genetic algorithm (GA) and modified artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm for constrained optimisation have been utilised. The objective is to maximise the utilisation rate (UR) of aircraft, while also satisfying other operational and maintenance constraints. The algorithm is tested on a fleet of eight aircraft. In addition to a one-year planning period, a planning horizon of ten years has also been simulated. The results show that both the GA and modified ABC algorithm can be effectively used to solve the FMP problem.

“…Table I depicts that more external risk factors impacting more than internal factors. Raju et al (2012) illustrated the performance measurement variables are intended for use by aircraft industry supervisors for instituting process improvements for achieving best flight and maintenance safety records, improve operational availability of the aircraft and reduce costs: The USA Reinsch (2005) In order to know if the company is reaching its organizational goals, performance metrics are used to trend and track performance. Every successful firm measures its maintenance performance in order to remain both competitive environment and cost effective (Taaffe et al, 2014) Performance measures are the parameters on which the comparison of other parameters is based upon Yu et al (2007).…”

Purpose Risk management in defence aircraft industry has considerable interest among academics and practitioners. The purpose of this paper is to develop interactions among risk factors dimensions (RFDs) and inspect the importance relationship among the performance measures in Indian aircraft industry and, finally, understand the effect of involvements provided by the managerial team on risk reduction process. Design/methodology/approach An extensive literature review was carried out to identify 26 risk parameters and 13 performance measure indices relevant for an aircraft industry. Survey method was used to obtain the importance of these parameters and measures. Further, these factors are grouped into five risk dimensions based on the brain storming session by the project managers. Initially, Risk factors for defense aircraft industry (RFDs) analyzed by Interpretative structural model (ISM) to know the contextual relationship among the RFDs and then applied Interpretive ranking process (IRP) to inspect the pre-eminence relationship among them. Finally, SD is applied to understand the effect of involvements provided by the managerial team on risk reduction process. Findings Government policy and legal RFDs has emerged as the key driving RFDs. In IRP modelling, technology RFD has emerged as more influential RFD which is the more relevant factor with respect to performance measure indices and this result is supported by detailed sensitivity analysis of system dynamic model. Originality/value The outcomes of this research can help project management team to identify the high severity risk factors which need immediate risk reduction/mitigation action.
