The Problems and Prospects of Improving the Economic Efficiency of Aviation Equipment Maintenance

Abstract

The article is aimed at studying the problems and prospects for increasing the economic efficiency of maintenance of aviation equipment. The article defines that all parties involved in the process of production and operation of aviation equipment have both the same goals and multidirectional goals. The purpose of interaction of all stakeholders is to create an optimal program of maintenance, repair and renewal of aviation equipment. The cost-effectiveness of activities of airlines can be additionally increased by means of a flexible approach based on MSG-3 logic. Thus, aviation equipment will be idle for less time due to maintenance, as well as the cost of such maintenance will be reduced. Collecting and processing information about both a particular aircraft and a family of the same aircraft models as a whole allows to determine safe intervals for maintenance, repair and renewal without reducing the security indicators. The transition to the MSG-3 logic-based maintenance, repair and renewal program reduces the number of maintenance, repair and renewal works and, accordingly, labor costs, as well as expands the intervals of maintenance, repair and renewal, and increase the economic efficiency of both repair enterprises and airlines. Safe operation of aviation equipment is possible subject to the collection and processing of a huge amount of information from all onboard systems of the aircraft. Such information flow requires the costs for its collection and processing. However, the economic effect of maintenance, repair and renewal of aviation equipment according to the flexible methodology will bring additional advantages and opportunities to operating organizations. At this, the indicators of reliability and workableness of aviation equipment will remain at the proper level.
