Analyzing the State of Information Provision of the Maintenance and Renewal of Aviation Equipment

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the possibilities of software products to increase the economic efficiency of maintenance and renewal of aviation equipment – both for airlines and for service organizations, taking into account the corresponding safety requirements. The article defines that the modern market of maintenance and renewal of aviation equipment is extremely competitive and requires the application of special software products. The efficiency of establishing cooperation between all market participants directly depends on the perfection of the software. The software can influence the economic efficiency of airlines and the level of safety of use of aviation equipment. Modern aircraft models also facilitate the introduction of software into the maintenance process, as they contain their own information systems. In general, the development and role of information systems in all types of business is becoming a new reality and has a positive impact on the introduction of information systems in the process of maintenance and renewal of aviation equipment. It is determined that aviation equipment maintenance and renewal is a rather difficult function for automating because of complexity, unpredictability, security and regulation. Replacing the entire maintenance and renewal systems means cleaning up old data and overhauling processes that is not easy on the part of many repair businesses and units. But new generation aircrafts, data management and economic pressures continue to require more powerful IT systems. Thus, enterprises are forced to introduce new approaches to maintenance and renewal of aviation equipment in order to remain competitive.
