T11 - Logistics-oriented spare parts management for the regeneration of aircraft engines

Efficient spare parts management is a key prerequisite for the cost-effective regeneration of aircraft engines. Particularly in complex maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) processes, the availability of spare and replacement parts has a significant impact on throughput times, costs, and planning reliability. Building on the models for capacity forecasting and inventory sizing developed in SFB 871, this transfer project aims to enable the comprehensive industrial implementation of these methods.

The action and decision model developed to date at the SFB provides a solid basis for predicting spare parts requirements and efficiently dimensioning inventories in multi-level pool structures. There is great potential in the industrial environment to further develop these model-based approaches, for example through the use of suitable forecasting methods such as neural networks or Bayesian models. The aim of the project is therefore to develop an integrated system for data-based forecasting of spare parts requirements and for logistics- and finance-oriented evaluation of procurement and provision strategies in engine regeneration.
