Abstract

This paper outlines a scheduling algorithm which leverages Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) data to determine when maintenance should be performed. The objective of the scheduler is to reduce the cost associated with Performance-Based Logistics contracts, which ultimately improves the profit margins of Product Support Providers.An example consisting of 50 aircraft for which regular recurring maintenance and CBM actions are required is analyzed as a representative problem both in term of complexity and scale. The results indicate that significant cost savings can be achieved by utilizing a CBM scheduling algorithm. In addition, to the maintenance cost savings, the CBM scheduling algorithm is also able to identify potential resource limitations within the maintenance organization.
