Supply Chain Optimization within Aviation MRO
نویسنده
چکیده
Maintenance Repair and Operations (MRO) supply chain not only provides one of the best opportunities to reduce cost of operation and increase productivity but also offers complex challenges such as end to end integrated planning, increased availability of assets, inventory optimization and effective spend management. This paper gives an overview of the challenges faced in MRO supply chains and highlights some of the approaches to meet these challenges, drive efficiencies and optimize the entire supply chain.

Implications for Service Parts Management in the Rapidly Changing Aviation MRO Market
In this paper, we examine how fundamental changes that are taking place in the aviation industry are affecting strategies for managing service parts that are needed to support maintenance and repair operations (MRO). We present observations and recommendations based on the results of an empirical research project initiated by a large European airframe OEM that facilitates the sharing of part co...
متن کاملSupply Chain Optimization
Maintenance Repair and Operations (MRO) supply chain, when given serious consideration at all, is frequently seen as a challenge— a high-cost, but necessary evil to ensure the availability of parts that support equipment reliability. Among the challenges are integrating end-to-end planning, increasing reliability/availability of physical assets, optimizing inventory, and realizing effective spe...
متن کاملState-of-the-art of ‘Lean’ in the Aviation Maintenance Repair Overhaul Industry
The increasing need for Maintenance Repair Overhaul organisations (MROs) to meet customers’ demands in quality and reduced lead times is key to its survival within the Aviation industry.

متن کاملWEAVE: An Automated System for Collating Unstructured Data from WEB and Legacy Sources to Enhance the MRO Supply Chain
Gleaning consistent and complete data from multiple sources of unstructured information is often a difficult and time consuming process. In this paper we outline the WEAVE® system which automates the structuring and collating of unstructured data from multiple on-line Websites. WEAVE® is presented in the context of the maintenance, repair, and operations supply chain. The underlying knowledge r...
متن کاملMeta-heuristic Algorithms for an Integrated Production-Distribution Planning Problem in a Multi-Objective Supply Chain
In today's globalization, an effective integration of production and distribution plans into a unified framework is crucial for attaining competitive advantage. This paper addresses an integrated multi-product and multi-time period production/distribution planning problem for a two-echelon supply chain subject to the real-world variables and constraints. It is assumed that all transportations a...
