Eighty-eight percent of respondents in a 2012 industry survey said aviation service lifecycle workers were iWorkers and mobile computing was no longer a desire but a real value added need.

iWorkers use at least 3 devices in 3 or more locations using 5 or more applications according to Simon Yates, Vice-President and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research

OEMRO Business Networks Enabled by IT Networks

Mick Adams, Managing Director of Monarch Aircraft Engineering Limited (MAEL), suggested that by 2016 the only activity left for an [independent] MRO, apart from the hands-on work, could be a share of the integrated operations control within the airline. Planning and supply would be controlled by the OEMs. By 2041, there could be just a small select group of what he called OEMROs, the airlines having handed over all responsibility to other providers.

Functional Configuration Management (CMF)is the tracking, analysis and management of the functional design and operating performance parameters of an asset, assembly or component. There is a Logical “as-designed” (FL) and Physical “as-operated” (FP) version.

Structural Configuration Management (CMS)is the tracking, analysis and management of the structural piece of an assets Bill of Material (BOM, EBOM, MBOM). There is a Logical “as-allowed” (SL) structure and Physical “as-maintained” (SP) version.

Effectivity (E) is the dimension that tracks and schedules changes in one or more of the previous two dimensions CMF or CMS in accordance with a specific derivative. Change derivatives can include: (EO/EAs, Airworthiness Directives (AD), Service Bulletins (SB), calendar time, operating time, cycles, environment or events (e.g., lightening/EM radiation, bird strike, hard landing …).

Trends: Total Lifecycle Management


Trends: Lifecycle Industry StandardsOEM’s are driving IT standards evolution & compliance maturation in order to enable Product to Service Lifecycle integration and condition feedback.Performance Based Logistics (PBL), Power By the Hour (PBH), Cost Per Flight Hour (CPFH) contracting and Total Care / GoldCare require business to business interoperability – thus data standards compliance and interoperability across the PLM/SLM ecosystem.New generation aircraft and engines use dynamic maintenance packaging, diagnostics, prognostics, autonomic logistics and total lifecycle asset management through advanced information technologies. The industry challenge is legacy MRO IT systems that don’t functionally support multi-dimensional configuration management, therefore don’t support dynamic packaging & scheduling, and don’t support integrated electronic technical content management due to functionality & industry standards gaps.
