Integrating health management to enhance product support

Over the past decade, OEM’s have seen exponential growth in the revenue service data available to them from their products. This aggregation of data has fueled the creation of improved performance models, life models, and diagnostic and prognostic processes. These improvements are in turn creating new opportunities to enhance product support for the mutual benefit of operators and OEM’s. The goal of this paper is to explore the means of creating aviation industry value through integration of health management with product support and maintenance processes.
