7. Planning Horizons Strategic planning - 10 years - 18 months - 3 months
Today
Strategic planning
Capacity and
long term check schedule
(Frequency task-dependent)
Maintenance facilities/resources
Tactical planning
Optimize schedule for checks based on given resources
(Daily/Weekly)
Maintenance schedule (Aircraft/check type / location/timeframe)
Operational planning
Creation of work orders work packaging detailed scheduling (Daily)
Work packages
orders/task cards
Execution
Order execution & confirmation (Daily)

8. Strategic Planning Objectives - A Selection ….
Long-term forecasting of maintenance demands for aircrafts and components
Long-term evaluation of required resources to maintain own fleet or to perform customer service
Identification of bottleneck situations
Hangar capcities
Mechanics (grouped by skills)
Identification of unused capacity available for acquiring new business
Perform what-if analysis
Strategic Planning

9. Tactical Planning Objectives – A Selection …
Monitor aircraft / component compliance based current aircraft utilization
Generation of slot plan based on maintenance demands for individual aircrafts
Build work packages to perform component overhaul in parallel with aircraft checks
Balance workload for own resources by changing slots or splitting tasks
Balance workload with agreed supplier capacity
Maximize aircraft utilization and maintenance resource load
Tactical Planning

10. Examples of Daily Planning Tasks
Higher than expected aircraft utilization results in earlier compliance date
Aircraft was re-routed to another terminating location, requiring the maintenance execution to take part at another location
Technical problems require grounding of aircraft for a couple of days, delaying the planned maintenance
New unplanned work (e.g. due to modification required by AD) must be integrated into current plan
Customer asks for additional service for one of its aircraft

12. Added Business Value
Identify unused resource capacities in your maintenance operations which can be used to acquire new business
Allows you to identify bottleneck situations early in advance, before they disrupt your maintenance execution
Improves availability of your fleet assets by reducing aircraft release to service delays due to resource shortages
Increases utilization of your maintenance resources (hangar space, mechanics) by helping you to balance the workload
Offers you simulation features to evaluate different what-if scenarios in order to resolve resource shortages and to support you in strategic business decisions

23. Characteristics of Line Maintenance
Aircraft is in service and committed to revenue schedule
Gate maintenance / ramp checks (before departure)
Limited time (approx min.)
Visual inspection, Aircraft log is viewed and cleared
Turnaround / overnight maintenance (at terminating locations)
Work is more predictable
Daily checks, aircraft log, correction of deferrals, minor scheduled checks, sometimes also modifications
Primary business drivers
Safety
On-time dispatch of aircraft
Scope depends on
company!

24. Added Business Value
Real-time capturing of defects B shorter turnaround
ASAP analysis and deferral of defects
Prepares for efficient repair (Labor and Material)
Accurate defect overview for Flight Ops, Production planners and Execution planners
Line Maintenance planning B shorter turnaround
Creating robust production plan using resource availability and flight schedules
Real-time configuration checks and updates B safety & regulatory compliance
Integration with supply chain management and component maintenance B shorter turnaround & lower procurement costs
Collecting Line Maintenance costs including labor and materials B enabling third party maintenance or collecting internal costs
