Definitions What is meant by Fleet Management? The management of an operator's aircraft fleet (and other assets used to operate the fleet, e.g. SE) Fleet management can include related functions such as activity based costing, regulatory and engineering compliance, configuration management, supply management, maintenance management and diagnostics and reporting Fleet Management is a function which allows the operator to remove / minimize risks associated with investment, capability, efficiency and/or costs.
The Status Quo Many operators are managing their aircraft fleet with some combination of the following. White boards and grease pencils Spreadsheets and stand alone databases Bespoke systems that are becoming outdated and hard to maintain Non integrated, stove pipe systems Newly implemented ERP systems (e.g. SAP) that are too difficult to use
What s the Risk? Poor fleet management can result in; Excess inventory shadow storage locations, lack of trust in the supply chain Misuse of resources - manpower, SE, special tools Time delays and loss of data use of expeditors, phone calls, no single source of truth Missed maintenance, improper maintenance, engineering or compliance failures Low asset operational availability (Ao) And, in the worst case - Mission Failure
Fleet Mgmt Needs What is Needed?? Tools that are simpler to use and maintain Less stuff, w/ smaller Footprint Fully integrated and consistent across platforms and organizations Affordable!! C-130J DTADS Integration As Maintained BOM - C-130J w/1300 Lines
Realizing the Vision Adopting an automated Fleet Management Solution a good first step One that is focused on the military operator Look for something that scales to match your Fleet Look for one that can fully address your needs Asset Management, Personnel Management, On Condition and Preventive Maintenance, Supply, Operational Planning, DTADS Integration LM s Logistics Support System (LSS)
Asset Status Status at a Glance Asset Management and Status Information In Real Time Views of Collections of assets Controlled by User Authorization Asset Availability and Status Graphical Representation Paper or Screen Reports Full Management of Serialized Asset Configuration
Asset Management As maintained configuration and preventive maintenance is managed for each asset/component in the LSS Easily Navigated Structure Maintenance and Usage Can be Rolled Up or Associated at the Component Level History Remains With Component When Removed / Transferred Graphical Search to Immediately Find Component / Part Number
Personnel Mgmt Basic Personnel Administrative Data and Contact Information Creation and Modification of Personnel Resources Creates Identities, Link to External Identity Management Services Define Roles, Skills, and Certifications Associate with Organizational Elements Includes Personnel Location / Identification Personnel Information and Personnel Search
Problem Reporting Problem Reports Document On Condition Discrepancies Found During Inspection, In Flight or During Preventative Maintenance Creation, modification & use of problem reports on an asset Batch operations (e.g. Inspection TCTOs) Modifications Manage faults by type or serial range Closure of a problem report initiates closing up the serial structure
Work Order Mgmt Creating, planning & searching work orders Effective Control of Operational Maintenance Processes, Assets & Personnel Assignment of resources & material / Spares Linked to Problem Report or PM Dependencies - e.g. hierarchical work orders Update and sign-off when complete Display of work order status and history Link to display of Tech Data and CBT
Work Order Mgmt Work Orders Can Be Ad-Hoc or Standard Work e.g. Predefined Operations. Specific Skills Identified and Linked to TOs or Training videos
Preventive Maintenance Define Preventive Preventive Maintenance Programs Have One or More Groups Each with Specific Maintenance Plans Maintenance (PM) Programs and Groups by Asset Type (e.g. Aircraft or Torque Wrench) PM Plans have user defined thresholds Events can be calendar-based or usage-based (e.g. Conditioned Based Maintenance) Batch or on-demand rescheduling of PM PM schedules considered in asset availability
Base Level Supply Management Store, manage and distribute part types Inventory location, min/max stockage levels, repairable / consumable, shelf life, warranty, HAZMAT, manufacturer and supplier, and cost Issue assets to work orders & operational plans Cyclic inventory, pick lists, kits Trigger and track material requests Transfer assets across organizational sites
Operational Planning Start a New plan / Modify a Current Plan - Assign Name, Dates / Orgs Creation and update of operational plans (activities, sorties, missions, etc.) Assignment of ; Assets / Parts (e.g. A/C, AGE, SE, etc.) Crew (e.g. Pilot, Navigator, etc.) Ground Support Personnel Request assistance when requirements cannot be satisfied
Base Level Supply Management The LSS Supports Retail Level Supply w/visibility For Maintenance Operations
C-130J DTADS to LSS Integration C-130J Data Access Point (DAP) Logistics Support System RMM Card Data Collected from A/C Sensors Data Transfer and Diagnostics System (DTADS) Maintenance Debrief Summary Reports Fault Codes & Usage Data DTADS File Repository Auto-Gen Work Orders Capture of Usage Data A/C State of Health Data Supports Fleet Wide Asset Management, Decision Support, PHM, etc.
Other Opportunities Fully Industry Standard, SOA Compliant, Meets Military Security Requirements, to Ease Integration Integrate with TO systems (ETMs - pdf files or full S1000D IETMS) Integrate with RFID for in transit visibility (ITV) Integrate with other national or support systems (e.g. ERP, Wholesale Supply, PDM, HR, etc.) Integrate with OLAP Tools for advanced data analysis, reporting and / data mining
