Abstract: The development of society has put forward higher requirements for the supply of maintenance spare parts. However, the current support index is not comprehensive enough to evaluate the system ability. Meanwhile, the influence of horizontal supply time on spare parts storage is not fully reflected. Therefore, the problem of spare parts storage configuration in two-echelon maintenance and supply support systems is analysed in the paper. First, the state transition rates of different parts are studied under the context. Then a system-level comprehensive support rate based on importance measure is proposed. To determine the number of different spare parts, an optimisation model is established to maximise system support efficiency. Furthermore, a site importance measure based on horizontal supply time is proposed to measure the site priority over spare parts storage. Next, a two-stage decision method is presented for determining the location of spare parts. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified with the help of an example for the aircraft maintenance and supply support system.
