Application of the multidimensional statistical analysis in the development of an integrated safety management system in an aircraft maintenance organization

Abstract

Modern aviation enterprises are lots of risks-related owners associated with execution of their activities. Nowadays there are various management systems such as a Quality Management System (QMS), Safety Management System (SMS), etc., which describe all the potential risks for an organization. The problem of synchronization and unification of these systems in the framework of a comprehensive analysis of managing changes and fulfilling production operation remains unsolved at this point. To settle this problem, the article suggests using an integrated safety management system (ISMS). When developing ISMS in an aircraft maintenance organization that integrates the management systems of flight safety, quality, aviation, information, environmental safety, etc., the organization encounters the problem of data redundancy and duplication about manifestations of hazard factors in various aspects of its activities. This can make it difficult to collect and process data and take corrective/preventive measures. The issue of reasonable reduction of the original list of hazard factors can be considered as the subject of decreasing the dimension of the entity activity model, which can be solved using the method of the factor analysis principal components. Furthermore, application of the principal components method provides an expert analyst with supplementary, scientifically-based data on the quality of work and allows him to predict trends. The article based on real data of the aircraft maintenance organization shows the applicability of the method with the purpose for optimizing the list of hazard factors manifestations regarding a single aspect of organization activity.
