Design and development of a performance evaluation system for the aircraft maintenance industry

Abstract

This paper aims at developing procurement Key Performance Indicators (KPI) system for Maintenance, Repair and Operation (MRO) items using a Business Intelligence tool. A set of typical KPI has been established in an aircraft maintenance enterprise through a case study. The result analyzed by business intelligence tools, has become a critical factor in evaluating the success of financial performance, quality assurance, order fill rate, utilization of productivity and development of knowledge hubs in the procurement sector. An effective and efficient procurement strategy evaluation system is proposed in order to resolve corporate problems, with solid supporting data, improved procurement performance management, facilitation of decision making and procurement evaluation by saving resources and time. The significance of this paper is that we delivers a proactive approach by integrating KPI and BI tool for an aviation maintenance enterprise to access comprehensive external data directly, and to visualize the company performance for formulating strategies and analyzing industrial informatics.

A two-stage robust optimisation for terminal traffic flow problem

“…The decision variables 𝜑 𝑖 𝑝 𝑖 and 𝑧 𝑗𝑖𝑢 are binary variables in nature, as explained by the Constraints (11) and (12). Constraint set (13) indicates that 𝜏 𝑖𝑢 𝑝 𝑖 is a positive real number.…”

“…Decisionmakers can analyse the robustness and estimate their affordability of the worst-case outcome. Hence, the design of TTFP should needs to the robust approach to the inherent uncertainty when unanticipated delay is inevitable in practical situation of Air Traffic Control (ATC) performance [12,13].…”

Cloud-Based Cyber-Physical Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems: A Case Study of Collision Avoidance

“…Materials management in the warehouse is used to keep enough materials for maintenance purposes for the mobile robots, moveable racks, and charging stations. Furthermore, predictive maintenance could be measured under a long period of operations in the RMFS [109].…”

A Large Neighbourhood Search Approach to Airline Schedule Disruption Recovery Problem

“…However, specific plans for the assignment of aircraft to flights are based on a much shorter time span [5,14]. These plans minimise the idle time of aircraft fleets to maximise utilisation to cover the high purchase and maintenance costs of aircraft [15,16]. Flight schedule is disrupted when an aircraft cannot go on a scheduled flight due to various reasons, such as extreme weather or emergency maintenance.…”
