Abstract

By applying Monte Carlo simulation methods, a simulation model is established which considers factors such as the reliability and maintainability (R&M) characteristics of the aircraft, weather conditions, management, flight dispatching, number of aircraft, route structure, maintenance level, personnel skills, spare parts supply, and so forth. The analysis results can provide the decision-making basis to improve a product´s R&M for manufacturers and to adjust flight, dispatch procedure, logistic supports, etc., rationally for airlines
