Abstract
Delays or cancellations of flights are mostly caused by avoidable, maintenance-related downtime of aircrafts. For a more efficient supply of spare parts for aircrafts of an airline, we examine options for improving the underlying logistics network integrated within an existing segment of the aviation industry. The objective is to guarantee a high supply of spare parts. Moreover, the paper presents effects of the choice of different maintenance strategies on total maintenance costs. By applying a condition-based maintenance strategy, unscheduled component failures can be reduced and an increase in availability and reliability is possible. A validation of the developed model is provided by means of a simulation study.
