航空機隊之維修係為航空業者運作中基本但卻為最重要之一環。其維修成本不但在業者運作成本中佔相當高之比例,更是直接影響飛航安全的關鍵因素。一般而言,航空機隊維修計劃預測及排程規劃既是航空業者維修生產管理系統之主要架構,同時也是航空業者規劃機隊使用及未來航線安排之參考資料。 就生產管理而言產能規劃、集體規劃、主排程、短期規劃、生產作業與控制是環環相扣的,其範圍又可分為長期、中期、短期。相對於航空業之維修生產管理則是中長期維修計劃、年度維修計劃、航線班表(航機調派計劃)及月維修計劃。而一般企業策略規劃或生產資源規劃的重要輸入資料:銷售預測,在航空維修業則是航空機隊使用率(Fleet Utilization)。 因此本研究擬對航機維修預測之影響因素作一整體性之研究,以期望能規劃出一實用且有效率之排程系統,並符合修護管制之法規下,利用精確的預估,有效的追蹤,不斷循環調整及多方位的考量下,規劃出最佳排程,既維修成本最低且滿足營運需求之目的。
The maintenance of aviation fleets is the fundamental yet essential facet of the airline business. The maintenance cost takes a very high proportion in the airline business cost and has become the major factor that directly influences the aviation safety. Generally speaking, the forecast of aviation fleets maintenance project and planning is the main frame with which the airliner maintains its production and management system. In the same time, the forecast can be utilized as the reference data for the planning of fleet and future flight route arrangement. As for production management, production planning, group planning, main project, short-term planning, production operation and control are strongly connected to one another. The outcome for production management can be divided into facets of long, short and mid term. In airline business, the maintenance production management includes long-term, mid-term maintenance project, annual maintenance project and monthly schedule maintenance project. Selling forecast used in cooperation for strategy planning is viewed as Fleet Utilization in airline maintenance business. Therefore, this research would aim to an overall study for the possible influential factors of the forecast on fleet maintenance. This research expects to plan a practical and efficient scheduling system, which is in the same time identical to concerning principles and rules for maintenance control. By utilizing a precise forecast and intelligent tracking can the best scheduling be achieved and the purpose for least maintenance cost and most successful operation demand be fulfilled.
