The project deals with the development of logistics management for aircraft maintenance organisations. It addresses the overall streamlining of the process of ordering individual parts for replacement on the aircraft, the costs associated with logistics, or the storage of the materials. The data for the solution of this work will be provided by a maintenance organisation based in the Czech Republic. Consultations will be made with both Czech-based organisations and companies from abroad to ensure that the results of the project are applicable in practice. The project will provide a comprehensive overview of representative materials and parts that will bring the most significant streamlining of the aircraft maintenance process. Based on the input data, appropriate statistical methods as well as mathematical formulas and equations will be selected to make the logistics management process more efficient. All of the data collected, a summary of sample materials and parts, statistics and mathematics will be used to develop a mathematical model that will provide comprehensive outputs that will ensure increased efficiency of logistics management for the planning and execution of maintenance of transport aircraft in authorized maintenance organizations which shall reduce costs of maintenance process.

The project is focused on the development of the integrated safety management, specifically on the method of an integrated procedure for safety occurrence investigation and audits planning and execution in aviation maintenance organizations using data on aviation maintenance planning and execution. The project builds on the theory of Safety-III, i.e. an approach to safety based on systems theory, namely the System-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP). It also uses the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO) as an integration platform for data and software tools, enabling core technical solution for integrating safety and operational data from a maintenance organization, as well as integrating the very safety management system with the system for aviation maintenance planning and execution. The main output of the proposed project will be the Methodology of the integrated approach to safety occurrence investigation and audit planning, which will enable more efficient occurrence investigation as well as more efficient planning of audits in aircraft maintenance. At the same time, the methodology will contribute to the implementation of a systems safety approach in aviation maintenance, reduce the time required for investigating occurrences and preparing for audits and, last but not least, it will contribute to the establishment of a fully integrated management system in aircraft maintenance.
