Fleet-Level Selective Maintenance and Aircraft Scheduling
Abstract
The objective of this research is to investigate the use of a mathematical modeling methodology for integrating maintenance planning and sortie scheduling issues. First, the relevant research literature for both selective maintenance and fleet assignment is presented. Next, background research is presented, which extends a current selective maintenance model to incorporate sets of systems. Here a selective maintenance model for a set of systems that must execute a set of missions with system maintenance performed only between missions is defined. Finally, we formulate a more complex optimization model that addresses a more dynamic mission profile. Specifically, missions start and end at different times, and maintenance and scheduling decisions are made over a series of time "buckets." We consider a planning horizon such that each system in the set returns from its previous mission and begins its future mission; however, no system returns from its future before the end of the planning horizon.
