Statistical Analysis of Production Planning Impact on Aircraft Maintenance Turnaround Time by Exploring Challenges During Work Package Preparation

Abstract

Preplanning all routine work is universally accepted as essential for smooth execution. This fact is well-proven and equally valid throughout all industries but more precisely in the operations and maintenance domain. An emphasis is placed on production planning and aircraft maintenance work-packaging in this research paper. Almost all sorts of maintenance work performed on any aircraft are transcribed as maintenance procedures by the manufacturer. It makes production planning work smooth and easygoing while preparing the aircraft maintenance work packages. However, significant challenges during package preparation are unavoidable and may surprise planners at the last minute. An extensive understanding of the process, stakeholders, and consequences is imperative to minimize surprises. This paper will highlight all these areas to provide detailed insights about work packaging.
