An innovative method to optimize the maintenance policies in an aircraft: General framework and case study

Journal of Air Transport Management, 2015, vol. 44-45, 8-20

Abstract: Maintenance policies applied to aircrafts are governed by a mix of airworthiness authorities’ regulations and choices of suppliers and users. This allows airlines to use different strategies to minimize the total costs of maintenance. In this paper, a new approach that integrates the failure and reparation processes, such as modelling, optimization algorithms, and simulation methods, is proposed to define the best maintenance strategies for complex systems.
