Logistics-Oriented Spare Parts Management for Aircraft Engine Regeneration (T11#)

• Subject Area: Production Systems, Operations Management, Quality Management and Factory Planning
• Term: since 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 119193472

Project T11 transfers findings on capacity demand forecasting and inventory dimensioning subproject D1 to the spare parts management of MTU Maintenance Hannover GmbH. Therefore, the project focuses on developing a method for spare parts demand forecasting and on linking it to a model-based inventory management system. The project includes the extension of pool inventory dimensioning approaches by the description of two-level pool structures (repairable and serviceable). This allows the development of an evaluation method for procurement opportunities in terms of logistical potential and financial risk.
