Aircraft Reliability Modelling for Operations Planning

An aircraft reliability model was created to provide our planners with a tool to: (1) Facilitate selection of best (most reliable) aircraft or component spare for operations; (2) Determine critical and non-critical components using system block diagrams; (3) Project system failure and determine the number of spares needed in support packages for predefined mission/s; (4) Purge poor reliability component spares.

Key Words: Reliability Modelling, Operations Planning, System Block Diagrams
