D-SIMSPAIR is a suite of advanced domain-specific decision-support modules for spare parts demand planning and inventory network optimisation in the aviation industry and addresses common pain points in aviation spare parts management:
- The difficulty of assessing risks and prioritizing pre-emptive measures against technical delays and Aircraft-On-Ground (AOG) situations caused by non-availability of spare parts.
- Field behaviour often not being in agreement with relevant planning parameters such as Mean Time Between Unscheduled Removals (MTBUR) and Repair Turnaround Time, leading to shortages which can result in flight cancellations on the one hand and investments that are not necessary on the other hand.
- Challenges associated with designing and delivering competitive component support services that can justify higher cost and price, in an environment where MRO organisations are facing enormous cost pressure from airlines.
