DEFINITION:
The cost of maintaining aircraft and other capital assets is significant. Options for conducting maintenance include retaining responsibility within the organisation, or contracting it out to a third-party provider. Innovative options for maintaining assets may be possible. Modelling and analysis of the maintenance system can bring insights that will optimise effectiveness while minimising costs.
