Abstract: The primary purpose of this study is to optimize preventive maintenance procedures for aircraft systems in an educational laboratory setting in the Philippines. The research addresses inefficiencies in current practices, aiming to enhance resource management and improve educational outcomes for students in aircraft maintenance training. Given the critical role of maintenance in aviation safety, the study tailors industry-standard optimization techniques to the unique needs of an academic environment. This research is positioned within aviation maintenance education, where hands-on experience is crucial for skill development. It identifies gaps in the literature, particularly the lack of focus on adapting preventive maintenance strategies for educational settings in developing countries like the Philippines. By addressing these gaps, the study contributes both to academic knowledge and practical improvements in aviation education. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining case studies, surveys, experimental design, and process mapping. Data were collected through interviews, direct observation, and focus group discussions, providing a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities in maintenance training. The results indicate that optimized maintenance procedures can reduce downtime, enhance the learning experience, and improve resource allocation. Key findings include the identification of process bottlenecks and the successful implementation of tailored workflows aligned with educational objectives. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of context-specific optimization in educational settings. The findings suggest that adopting these procedures can lead to more efficient operations and better-prepared graduates. Future research should explore the long-term effects on student performance and the scalability of these methods in other educational institutions.
