Abstract: Electronic aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) tools that improve an organizations ability to manage nearly every phase of an aircraft maintenance visit. MRO management may be implemented at the single aircraft level all the way up to the organization level including several facilities each of which include several aircrafts. The disclosed MRO management solutions assist with mapping out short term and long term planning; including manpower and material and tooling requirements. Additionally, current and future workloads may be identified and considered in advance of maintenance execution to significantly improve stakeholder satisfaction. The methods and systems disclosed generate an electronic contract based on a bill of work to control maintenance task execution, report progress of executing the tasks, and process scope changes to the bill of work and the associated contract.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of managing execution of line maintenance for an aircraft includes creating an electronic scheduled bill of work comprising a plurality of planned tasks, creating an electronic work-in-progress bill of work comprising the scheduled bill of work and a plurality of unplanned tasks, electronically validating performance for each of the tasks in the work-in-progress bill of work, and creating an electronic maintenance release for the aircraft.

Abstract: A method for electronically documenting the completion of maintenance tasks in a maintenance industry which requires recordation of maintenance tasks performed, and in which required maintenance tasks are documented on a plurality of work cards, the method includes retrieving a legacy work card that is an electronic document itemizing a plurality of maintenance tasks to be performed and specifying by skill level whom may perform the itemized maintenance tasks, creating, from the legacy work card, an electronic work card including a plurality of data entry fields that include at least a sign-off field, receiving data corresponding to a designated data entry field, and modifying the electronic work card to include the received data corresponding to the designated data entry field.

Abstract: A system for recording and analyzing reliability data during a dynamically-planned maintenance check includes means for obtaining and logging warranty-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of any routine or non-routine tasks that may exist, and which pertain to rotable parts; means for obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of any non-routine tasks that may exist; means for identifying for each non-routine task, a routine task whose performance resulted in the generation of the non-routine task; means for obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of any identified routine tasks that may exist; and means for analyzing and reporting the warranty-based reliability data and the maintenance program-based reliability data.

Abstract: A dynamic maintenance production system for planning a maintenance check includes means for obtaining any routine tasks that may exist and which are required to be performed, means for obtaining any non-routine tasks that may exist and which are required to be performed, means for generating a maintenance flow chart detailing scheduling data for each of the routine and non-routine tasks, means for assigning a user-determined number of the routine and non-routine tasks to personnel for completion, means for obtaining maintenance activity data on each assigned routine task and non-routine task, means for obtaining available resource data, and means for updating the maintenance flow chart to reflect newly-obtained maintenance activity data and available resource data.

Abstract: A system for managing an aircraft maintenance program for an aircraft operated by an operator includes means for extracting maintenance tasks for the aircraft from at least one aircraft maintenance document, means for sorting the maintenance tasks into initial maintenance task groups having common control points, and means for guiding the airline operator to organize the maintenance tasks and initial maintenance task groups into a plurality of maintenance task groups.

Abstract: A system for assigning maintenance tasks to crew members of a maintenance crew during a dynamically-planned maintenance check for an aircraft includes means for obtaining a dynamic maintenance flow chart detailing up-to-date scheduling data for a predetermined number of maintenance tasks, means for obtaining personnel training records for each crew member, means for determining maintenance task assignments based upon an analysis of the maintenance flow chart and the personnel training records.
