Predictive Maintenance for MROs - November 2024 Recap
.webp)
Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is a proactive maintenance strategy that involves monitoring the condition of equipment and using data analysis, advanced algorithms, and sometimes machine learning to predict when a component or system is likely to fail. The goal is to perform maintenance at the optimal time, preventing unexpected equipment breakdowns, reducing downtime, and minimizing maintenance costs.
Compared to preventive maintenance (performed at regular intervals) and reactive maintenance (done after a failure occurs), predictive maintenance focuses on maintaining equipment only when necessary, based on its actual condition.
Did You Know?
According to Airbus, leveraging Big Data Analytics for predictive maintenance can reduce unscheduled aircraft maintenance by up to 30%! A proactive approach to maintenance keeps flights on schedule and costs down.

AI and ML in Predictive Maintenance
AI and ML in Predictive Maintenance help MROs anticipate and prevent equipment failures by analyzing historical and real-time data. Imagine knowing exactly when parts need attention, optimizing every maintenance cycle and saving costs!
- Manpower & Parts Availability: The readiness of skilled personnel and necessary spare parts to perform maintenance tasks efficiently and promptly, as predicted by AI-driven insights, ensuring minimal downtime and operational disruptions.
- Cost Efficiency: The optimization of maintenance activities to minimize overall costs by reducing unplanned downtime, optimizing resource allocation (manpower, parts, and tools), and extending equipment lifespan, while ensuring high operational performance and reliability through predictive insights.
- Condition-Based Maintenance: A maintenance strategy that uses real-time data from sensors and machine learning algorithms to monitor the health and performance of equipment, triggering maintenance actions only when specific indicators show signs of wear, degradation, or failure, thereby optimizing maintenance schedules and reducing unnecessary interventions.
- Data-Driven Insights: Actionable information derived from analyzing large volumes of operational and sensor data using advanced algorithms. These insights enable accurate predictions of equipment failures, identification of patterns and trends, and informed decision-making to optimize maintenance schedules, reduce downtime, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
- Improved Safety: The enhanced protection of personnel, equipment, and the environment by proactively identifying and addressing potential failures or hazards through predictive analytics. This minimizes the risk of accidents, unexpected breakdowns, and unsafe working conditions, fostering a safer operational environment.
- Extended Component Lifespan: The prolonged operational life of equipment and its components achieved by leveraging predictive analytics to identify and address wear or potential issues early, optimize usage patterns, and prevent unnecessary stress or damage, thereby maximizing their durability and performance.
Pain Point and Solutions Spotlight: Predictive Maintenance for MROs
This month we tackled major pain points in Aviation MRO operations:
- No Visibility of Work Incoming for Manpower Planning and Inventory Management
- Excess and Surplus Inventory Management
MROs often do not have a mechanism to enable Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), resulting in disconnect between sales and capacity utilization, leadings to inefficiencies matching demand with available manpower, affecting overall operational efficiencies, customer satisfaction and revenue optimization.
Implement Sales and Operations planning system with real-time tracking and forecasting capabilities. Use sales forecasting analytics to gain insights into upcoming work and inventory needs, enabling proactive manpower planning and efficient procurement.
MROs struggle with the accumulation of excess parts and an inactive inventory pool. This surplus inventory can tie up capital and valuable storage space, creating inefficiencies within the organization.
Implement an Inventory Optimization System that utilizes demand forecasting, predictive analytics, and automated reordering to reduce excess and surplus inventory. Additionally, consider developing a surplus inventory disposition strategy, such as selling packaged deals, returning, or repurposing excess parts.
