ABSTRACT
In order to increase the operational efficiency of civil aircraft and decrease the dispatch outage rate, the simulation and evaluation method for operational efficiency as well as the comprehensive configuration and optimization method for two maintenance resources, spare parts and Ground Support Equipment (GSE), are studied. In this paper, dispatch reliability is used as the metric parameter of civil aircraft’s operational efficiency Based on the concept of civil aircraft’s operational efficiency, the effect of operational efficiency is analyzed from four perspectives: operation scheme, design scheme, maintenance scheme, and supply scheme. Furthermore, a simulation evaluation model of operational efficiency is established, and a simulation evaluation system is developed. In addition, the configuration and optimization model for spare parts and GSE is put forward under the constraint of civil aircraft’s operational efficiency index, and the marginal effect analysis algorithm is used to solve the problem. Finally, an example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and model.
