Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aircraft operation, maintenance and support technology, and specifically relates to a method for optimizing the allocation of support resources based on aircraft operation and maintenance activities. Background Technology

[0002] The equipment system includes aircraft platforms and support systems. As a basic component of the support system, support resources are directly related to the combat effectiveness of the equipment. The configuration of resources not only affects the use of the equipment, but also the overall efficiency of the equipment throughout its life cycle. The allocation of resources follows the principle of maximizing cost-effectiveness. However, in actual engineering, there is often an over-allocation of resources, while shortages of certain items also occur from time to time, which affects the normal use by users.

[0003] The main reason for shortages or over-allocations of certain aircraft support resources is inadequate support needs analysis. Traditionally, adjustments are often made based on configuration lists of similar aircraft from the past, with insufficient analysis of new aircraft, their new conditions, operating environments, and maintenance plans. A suitable and systematic derivation method is lacking. Therefore, post-delivery operation and maintenance activities (such as...) Figure 1 The study explores the resource requirements for each activity, forms a set of resources required for each activity, performs set operations on each resource set, integrates resources of the same type, and finally obtains a matching solution for aircraft support resources. This resource requirement derivation model based on activities is an effective solution. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a method for optimizing the allocation of support resources based on aircraft operation and maintenance activities. This method categorizes post-delivery operation and maintenance activities, establishes a support resource demand derivation model based on these activities, derives the support resource requirements for each activity from the model, forms a set of support resources required for each activity, performs set operations on each resource set, and integrates resources of the same type to ultimately obtain a comprehensive solution for aircraft support resources.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for optimizing the allocation of support resources based on aircraft use and maintenance activities includes the following steps:

[0007] S1. Classification of Aircraft Use and Maintenance Activities: Aircraft use and maintenance activities are classified into maintenance activities, mission activities, relocation activities, and parking and storage activities.

[0008] S2. Construct the basic model: Construct a maintenance class model for maintenance activities and establish logical decision relationships.

[0009] S3. Construct extended class derivation models: Based on the basic model, construct three extended class derivation models, namely, a task class model for task activities, a transition class model for transition activities, and a parking and storage class model for parking and storage activities, and establish logical decision relationships for these three extended class derivation models respectively.

[0010] S4. Obtaining the Set of Support Resource Allocation Items: Through the maintenance class model, logical judgments are performed to derive a preliminary set of support resource allocation items that satisfy aircraft maintenance activities. Similar items are then merged to obtain the final set U of support resource allocation items for maintenance activities. Ⅰ ;

[0011] The U Ⅰ ={U Ⅰ地面设备 U Ⅰ工具 U Ⅰ资料 U Ⅰ备件 U Ⅰ油品 U Ⅰ设施}; where U Ⅰ地面设备 To maintain a subset of ground equipment for the operation, U Ⅰ工具 To maintain the tool subset for the activity, U Ⅰ资料 To maintain the data subset of the activity, U Ⅰ备件 To maintain the spare parts subset for the activity, U Ⅰ油品 To maintain the oil subset of the activity, U Ⅰ设施 A subset of facilities for maintaining the activity.

[0012] S5. Obtaining the Set of Support Resource Requirements: By extending the inference model, a preliminary set of support resource allocation items for task activities, transfer activities, and parking and storage activities is derived respectively. Similarly, similar items are merged to form the set of support resource requirements U for task activities. Ⅱ The set of resource requirements for supporting the relocation activities U Ⅲ The set of resource needs for parking and storage activities U Ⅳ ;

[0013] The U Ⅱ ={U Ⅱ地面设备 U Ⅱ工具 U Ⅱ资料 U Ⅱ油品 U Ⅱ设施}; where U Ⅱ地面设备 For a subset of ground equipment used in mission activities, U Ⅱ工具 U is a subset of the tools for mission activities. Ⅱ资料 U is a subset of the data for the mission activities. Ⅱ油品 For the oil product subset of the mission activity, U Ⅱ设施 A subset of facilities for mission activities;

[0014] The U Ⅲ ={U Ⅲ地面设备 U Ⅲ工具 U Ⅲ包装物}; where U Ⅲ地面设备 For the ground equipment subset of the relocation activities, U Ⅲ工具 U is a subset of tools for transition activities. Ⅲ包装物 A subset of packaging materials for the transition activities;

[0016] S6. Subset Union: After completing the derivation of the four models, merge U Ⅰ U Ⅱ U Ⅲ U Ⅳ The set is used to obtain the total set U of guaranteed resource allocation, where U = {U Ⅰ U Ⅱ U Ⅲ U Ⅳ Then, the subsets contained in U are combined by merging like terms to obtain the ground equipment set U. 地面设备 Toolset U 工具 Data set U 资料 Oil product collection U 油品 Spare parts collection U 备件 Facilities Collection U 设施 Packaging materials collection U 包装物 The calculation formula is as follows:

[0017] U 地面设备 =U Ⅰ地面设备 +U Ⅱ地面设备 +U Ⅲ地面设备 +U Ⅳ地面设备 ;

[0018] U 工具 =U Ⅰ工具 +U Ⅱ工具 +U Ⅲ工具 +U Ⅳ工具 ;

[0019] U 资料 =U Ⅰ资料 +U Ⅱ资料 ;

[0020] U 油品 =UⅠ油品 +U Ⅱ油品 ;

[0021] U 备件 =U Ⅰ备件 ;

[0022] U 设施 =U Ⅰ设施 +U Ⅱ设施 ;

[0023] U 包装物 =U Ⅲ包装物 +U Ⅳ包装物 .

[0024] S7. Functional Integration: Perform technical parameter fitting and functional integration on the items in the above set to reduce the requirements for equipment configuration specifications and improve the ability to relocate.

[0025] S8. Resource Allocation List: After completing the above steps, compile the following lists respectively: ground equipment allocation list, tool allocation list, data allocation list, oil allocation list, spare parts allocation list, facility allocation list, and packaging material allocation list, as the basis for user procurement.

[0026] This invention derives the initial configuration of support resources for aircraft field operation and maintenance activities through a basic model and three extended models. Then, using set operations and functional integration, a standard configuration of support resources is ultimately formed. This invention solves the problem of aircraft grounding due to shortages of certain support resources during field operation and maintenance, thus affecting mission completion; it also addresses the problem of increased support costs due to the number and excess of support resource-related items, thereby affecting cost-effectiveness targets and the aircraft seller's market; furthermore, through functional integration, it reduces the specifications of support resources and improves aircraft relocation capabilities.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] A method for optimizing the allocation of support resources based on aircraft use and maintenance activities includes the following steps:

[0036] S1. Classification of Aircraft Use and Maintenance Activities: According to Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates the current aircraft use and maintenance activities after delivery, dividing these activities into maintenance activities, mission activities, relocation activities, and parking and storage activities.

[0037] S2. Constructing the Basic Model: Constructing maintenance-class models for maintenance activities and establishing logical decision relationships; such as... Figure 2 As shown, the steps for constructing the maintenance model are as follows: taking the aircraft's daily maintenance process (the aircraft's routine daily maintenance process) as the framework, each maintenance step as a node, performing logical judgments for each node, and based on the judgment results, deriving the corresponding support resource configuration items from that node, thereby forming the maintenance model.

[0038] S3. Construct extended class derivation models: Based on the basic model, construct three extended class derivation models, namely, a task class model for task activities, a transition class model for transition activities, and a parking and storage class model for parking and storage activities, and establish logical decision relationships for these three extended class derivation models respectively.

[0039] S31. For example Figure 3 As shown, the steps for constructing the task class model are as follows: based on the maintenance class model, taking the process of aircraft flight mission activities as the skeleton, taking each flight mission execution step as a node, and deriving the support resource configuration items required for each node from each node, thereby forming the task class model.

[0040] S32. For example Figure 4 As shown, the construction steps of the transfer model are as follows: based on the maintenance model, the process of aircraft transfer activities is used as the skeleton, each transfer step is used as a node, logical judgment is performed on each node, and according to the judgment result, the support resource configuration project corresponding to the node is derived from the node, thereby forming the transfer model.

[0041] S33. For example Figure 5As shown, the steps for constructing the parking and storage model are as follows: Based on the maintenance model, the process of aircraft parking and storage activities is used as the framework, each parking and storage step is used as a node, logical judgment is performed on each node, and based on the judgment result, the corresponding support resource configuration items are derived from the node, thereby forming the parking and storage model.

[0042] S4. Guarantee the acquisition of the resource allocation project set: through... Figure 2 The maintenance model shown is used to perform logical judgments and derive a preliminary set of support resource allocation items that meet the needs of aircraft maintenance activities. Then, similar items are merged (i.e., support resource allocation items related to ground equipment are merged into U). Ⅰ地面设备 The resource allocation projects related to tools have been merged into U. Ⅰ工具 The resource allocation projects related to data security have been merged into U. Ⅰ资料 The resource allocation items related to spare parts are merged into U. Ⅰ备件 The resource allocation projects related to oil products will be merged into U. Ⅰ油品 The resource allocation projects related to facilities are merged into U. Ⅰ设施 ), obtain the set U of support resource allocation items for maintenance activities. Ⅰ ;

[0043] The U Ⅰ ={U Ⅰ地面设备 U Ⅰ工具 U Ⅰ资料 U Ⅰ备件 U Ⅰ油品 U Ⅰ设施}, ; where U Ⅰ地面设备 To maintain a subset of ground equipment for the operation, U Ⅰ工具 To maintain the tool subset for the activity, U Ⅰ资料 To maintain the data subset of the activity, U Ⅰ备件 To maintain the spare parts subset for the activity, U Ⅰ油品 To maintain the oil subset of the activity, U Ⅰ设施 To maintain a subset of facilities for the activity;

[0044] S5. Ensuring the acquisition of resource demand sets: through... Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The extended class derivation model shown is used to perform logical judgments and derive the preliminary sets of support resource allocation items for task activities, transfer activities, and parking and storage activities. Similarly, similar items are merged to form the support resource requirement set U for task activities. Ⅱ The set of resource requirements for supporting the relocation activities U Ⅲ The set of resource needs for parking and storage activities U Ⅳ ;

[0045] The U Ⅱ ={U Ⅱ地面设备 U Ⅱ工具 U Ⅱ资料 U Ⅱ油品 U Ⅱ设施}; where U Ⅱ地面设备 For a subset of ground equipment used in mission activities, U Ⅱ工具 U is a subset of the tools for mission activities. Ⅱ资料 U is a subset of the data for the mission activities. Ⅱ油品 For the oil product subset of the mission activity, U Ⅱ设施 A subset of facilities for mission activities;

[0046] The U Ⅲ ={U Ⅲ地面设备 U Ⅲ工具 U Ⅲ包装物}; where U Ⅲ地面设备 For the ground equipment subset of the relocation activities, U Ⅲ工具 U is a subset of tools for transition activities. Ⅲ包装物 A subset of packaging materials for the transition activities;

[0047] The U Ⅳ ={U Ⅳ地面设备 U Ⅳ工具 U Ⅳ包装物}; where U Ⅳ地面设备 For the subset of ground equipment used in parking and storage activities, U Ⅲ工具 U is a subset of tools for parking and storage activities. Ⅲ包装物 A subset of packaging materials for storage and safekeeping activities.

[0048] S6. Subset Union: After completing the derivation of the four models, merge U Ⅰ U Ⅱ U Ⅲ U Ⅳ The set is used to obtain the total set U of guaranteed resource allocation, where U = {U Ⅰ U Ⅱ U Ⅲ U Ⅳ Then, the subsets contained in U are combined by merging like terms to obtain the ground equipment set U. 地面设备 Toolset U 工具 Data set U 资料 Oil product collection U 油品 Spare parts collection U 备件 Facilities Collection U 设施 Packaging materials collection U 包装物 The calculation formula is as follows:

[0049] U 地面设备 =U Ⅰ地面设备 +UⅡ地面设备 +U Ⅲ地面设备 +U Ⅳ地面设备 ;

[0050] U 工具 =U Ⅰ工具 +U Ⅱ工具 +U Ⅲ工具 +U Ⅳ工具 ;

[0051] U 资料 =U Ⅰ资料 +U Ⅱ资料 ;

[0052] U 油品 =U Ⅰ油品 +U Ⅱ油品 ;

[0053] U 备件 =U Ⅰ备件 ;

[0054] U 设施 =U Ⅰ设施 +U Ⅱ设施 ;

[0055] U 包装物 =U Ⅲ包装物 +U Ⅳ包装物 .

[0056] S7. Functional Integration: Perform technical parameter fitting and functional integration on the items in the above set to reduce the requirements for equipment configuration specifications and improve the ability to relocate.

[0057] S8. Resource Allocation List: After completing the above steps, compile the following lists respectively: ground equipment allocation list, tool allocation list, data allocation list, oil allocation list, spare parts allocation list, facility allocation list, and packaging material allocation list, as the basis for user procurement.

[0058] Example 2:

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the specific construction steps of the maintenance class model are as follows:

[0060] S201. Identify the maintenance target (the aircraft that needs maintenance).

[0061] S202. Determine if the person can reach the location directly. If not, further refine the resource allocation project that enables the person to access the location—the "work platform." After configuring the work platform and ensuring the person can reach it directly, proceed to the next step.

[0062] S203. Determine if online maintenance is possible.

[0063] If online maintenance is not possible, determine whether manual operation is required. If manual operation is not possible (or not entirely manual operation is not possible), then further refine the resource allocation project to ensure the operation is achieved – “Tool 1”. If manual operation is possible or the operation can be achieved through Tool 1, then proceed to the next step.

[0064] If online maintenance is possible, proceed to the next step.

[0065] S204. Determine whether visual inspection, functional inspection, and performance inspection are required.

[0066] If a visual inspection is required, determine whether it can be performed visually. If it cannot be performed visually, then determine the necessary resource allocation for the visual inspection step – “Ground Equipment 1”. After the visual inspection is completed, proceed to the next step.

[0067] If a visual inspection is not required, determine whether a functional inspection is necessary. If a functional inspection is required, determine whether a BIT (Built In Test) inspection can be performed during the functional inspection. If a BIT inspection cannot be performed, further refine the necessary support resource configuration item for the BIT inspection – "Ground Equipment 2". After completing the BIT inspection using Ground Equipment 2, proceed to the next step. If a BIT inspection can be performed, proceed to the next step after the inspection is completed.

[0068] If a functional check is not required, a performance check is performed. During the performance check, it is determined whether a BIT (Built In Test) check can be performed. If a BIT check cannot be performed, the necessary support resource configuration item for the BIT check—"Ground Equipment 3"—is further derived. After the BIT check is completed using Ground Equipment 3, the next step can be initiated. If a BIT check can be performed, the next step can be initiated after the test is completed.

[0069] S205. Determine if there are inspection standards.

[0070] If there are no inspection standards, then the necessary resource allocation project is derived – “the development of technical specifications”.

[0071] If there are inspection standards, you can proceed to the next step.

[0072] S206. Determine whether the maintenance personnel are competent to perform the maintenance work.

[0073] If they are not competent, then the necessary resource allocation project is derived—"developing work instructions." These work instructions are used to guide maintenance personnel in learning until they are competent.

[0074] If you are competent, you can proceed to the next step.

[0075] S207. Determine whether a decomposition operation is needed.

[0076] If a decomposition operation is required, then the necessary resource allocation item for the decomposition operation – "Tool 2" – is derived. After preparing Tool 2, further confirm whether support is needed. If so, derive the necessary resource allocation item for support – "Support Device", and then the decomposition operation can be performed. If no support is needed after preparing Tool 2, the decomposition operation can be performed directly. After the decomposition operation is completed, proceed to the next step.

[0077] If no decomposition is required, proceed directly to the next step.

[0078] S208. Determine whether replacement is necessary.

[0079] If a replacement part is required, the necessary resource allocation for replacement is further identified as "Spare Parts". After preparing the spare part, it is then confirmed whether the replacement can be performed manually. If manual replacement is not possible, the necessary resource allocation for replacement is identified as "Tool 3", after which the replacement operation can be performed. (Manual or using Tool 3) After the replacement is completed, proceed to the next step.

[0080] If no parts need to be replaced, proceed directly to the next step.

[0081] S209. Determine whether cleaning is required.

[0082] If cleaning is required, the necessary resources for cleaning are then determined – “cleaning agent”. After preparing the cleaning agent, it is further confirmed whether cleaning can be done by hand. If not, the necessary resources for cleaning are determined – “cleaning equipment”, after which the cleaning operation can proceed. (By hand or using a cleaning equipment) After cleaning is completed, the next step can be taken.

[0083] If cleaning is not required, proceed directly to the next step.

[0084] S210. Determine if lubrication is required.

[0085] If lubrication is required, the necessary resource allocation item for lubrication is further derived—"grease and grease". After preparing the grease and grease, it is further confirmed whether lubrication can be performed by hand. If lubrication cannot be performed by hand, the necessary resource allocation item for lubrication is derived—"filling device", and then the lubrication operation can be carried out. (By hand or using a filling device) After lubrication is completed, the next step can be performed.

[0086] If lubrication is not required, proceed directly to the next step.

[0087] S211. Determine whether insurance is needed.

[0088] If insurance is required, this leads to the necessary resource allocation items for insurance – "Tool 4" and "Fuse". After preparing "Tool 4" and "Fuse", you can proceed with the insurance application. Once the insurance application is complete, you can move on to the next step.

[0089] If you do not need insurance, proceed directly to the next step.

[0090] S212. Determine if ground power is required.

[0091] If ground power is required, this leads to the necessary resource allocation item – "Power Supply Unit". Once ground power is ready, you can proceed to the next step.

[0092] If ground power is not required, proceed directly to the next step.

[0093] S213. Determine if ground-based energy is needed.

[0094] If ground-based energy is required, this leads to the necessary resource allocation project – the "energy device". Once the energy device is ready, the next step can be taken.

[0095] If no ground-based energy source is needed, proceed directly to the next step.

[0096] S214. Determine whether driving is necessary.

[0097] If driving is required, the necessary resources for driving are then specified: "refueling device," "tethering cable," "wheel chocks," and "flow barrier." Once the refueling device, tethering cable, wheel chocks, and flow barrier are prepared, the next step can be taken.

[0098] If you don't need to drive, proceed directly to the next step.

[0099] S215. Determine whether environmental protection is necessary.

[0100] If environmental protection is required, this leads to the allocation of resources needed for environmental protection – “protection devices”. Once the protection devices are prepared, the next step can be taken.

[0101] If environmental protection is not required, the maintenance process is complete.

[0102] Based on the above-mentioned daily aircraft maintenance process (consisting of the above 15 steps) as the framework, each maintenance step is a node. Logical judgment is performed on each node, and based on the judgment result, the corresponding support resource configuration items are derived from that node, thereby forming a maintenance model.

[0103] Based on the established maintenance model, the derived resource allocation items are initially grouped together, and similar items are merged to obtain:

[0104] Support resource allocation projects related to ground equipment are merged into U Ⅰ地面设备 (Subset of ground equipment used in maintenance activities);

[0105] The resource allocation projects related to tools have been merged into U. Ⅰ工具 (A subset of tools for maintenance activities);

[0106] The data-related resource allocation projects have been merged into U. Ⅰ资料 (A subset of data from maintenance activities);

[0107] The support resource allocation items related to spare parts are merged into U. Ⅰ备件 (Spare parts subset for maintenance activities);

[0108] Oil-related resource allocation projects have been merged into U Ⅰ油品 (A subset of oils used in maintenance activities);

[0109] The allocation of resources related to facilities is merged into U. Ⅰ设施 (A subset of facilities for maintenance activities); U Ⅰ地面设备 U Ⅰ工具 U Ⅰ资料 U Ⅰ备件 U Ⅰ油品 U Ⅰ设施 The set of maintenance activities is the set of resource allocation projects U. Ⅰ , that is U Ⅰ ={U Ⅰ地面设备 U Ⅰ工具 U Ⅰ资料 U Ⅰ备件 U Ⅰ油品 U Ⅰ设施}

[0110] like Figure 2 As shown:

[0111] U Ⅰ地面设备 = {Ground Equipment 1, Ground Equipment 2, Ground Equipment 3, Support Device, Filling Device, Energy Device, Protection Device, Mooring Cable, Wheel Barrier, Working Platform}, Ground Equipment 1, Ground Equipment 2, and Ground Equipment 3 refer to ground equipment related to aircraft maintenance activities;

[0112] U Ⅰ工具 = {Tool 1, Tool 2, Tool 3, Tool 4}, where Tool 1, Tool 2, Tool 3, and Tool 4 refer to tools related to aircraft maintenance activities;

[0113] U Ⅰ资料 = {Developing technical specifications, developing work instructions, and developing training materials};

[0114] U Ⅰ备件 = {Spare parts, fuses};

[0115] U Ⅰ油品 ={grease, oil, cleaning agents};

[0116] U Ⅰ设施 ={Cleaning equipment, power supply equipment, refueling equipment, flow barrier, training system}.

[0117] Example 3:

[0118] like Figure 3 As shown, the task class model is built on the maintenance class model, and its specific construction steps are as follows:

[0119] S3101. Accept the mission

[0120] S3102. Perform task loading, further revealing the resource configuration items required for task loading – “Task Loading Device”. After task loading is completed, proceed to the next step.

[0121] S3103. Aircraft maintenance support, further deriving the necessary support resource allocation items—"parachute loading equipment" and "tools"; simultaneously performing refueling, oxygenation, charging, and gas filling operations, then, for each of these operations, further deriving the necessary support resource allocation items—"refueling equipment," "oxygenation equipment," "charging equipment," "gas filling equipment," "oil," "oxygen," "electricity," and "gas." Afterwards, proceed to the next step.

[0122] S3104. Direct maintenance preparation; once preparation is complete, proceed to the next step.

[0123] S3105. Taxi / Tow to takeoff line

[0124] This leads to the allocation of support resources required for aircraft maintenance – “hand tow bar” and “towing device”; after using the hand tow bar and towing device to taxi / tow the aircraft to the takeoff line, proceed to the next step.

[0125] S3106. External Plugin Status Check and Installation

[0126] This leads to the resource allocation project required for the external attachment status check and installation – “External Attachment Transportation and Installation Device”. After completing the external attachment status check and installation, proceed to the next step.

[0127] S3107. Pilot entering (exiting) the cockpit

[0128] This leads to the necessary support resources for pilots entering and exiting the cockpit – the "work ladder". After the pilots have entered and exited the cockpit, the next step begins.

[0129] S3108. Takeoff.

[0130] This leads to the allocation of resources required for takeoff – “Ground guidance facilities”. After takeoff is completed, the next step begins.

[0131] S3109. Execute the task

[0132] This leads to the resource allocation project required to support the mission – "interconnectivity". After takeoff, the next step begins.

[0133] S3110. Landing

[0134] This leads to the allocation of resources needed to support the landing – the "parachute recovery device". After landing is complete, the next step begins.

[0135] S3111. Determine if the current task has ended.

[0136] If the process is not completed, proceed to the preparation steps for another deployment, and then repeat steps S3102-S3111.

[0137] If the process ends, proceed to the next step.

[0138] S3112. Determine whether to conduct a review.

[0139] If a debriefing is required, then the necessary resource allocation for the debriefing—the "debriefing system"—is derived. Once the debriefing is complete, the next step begins.

[0140] If no commentary is needed, proceed directly to the next step.

[0141] S3113. Conduct preliminary maintenance preparations.

[0142] Once preparations are complete, proceed to the next step.

[0143] S3113. Assessing whether personnel are competent.

[0144] If the candidate is not competent, training will be provided, which leads to the allocation of resources needed to support the training—"training facilities" and "training materials." Once the training is completed, the task is considered accomplished.

[0145] If you are competent, the task is completed.

[0146] Based on the maintenance model, the above flight mission process (consisting of the above 13 steps) is used as the framework, and each flight mission execution step is used as a node. From each node, the required support resource configuration items are derived, thus forming a mission model.

[0147] Based on the established task-type model, the aforementioned derived resource allocation items are initially grouped together, and similar items are merged to obtain:

[0148] Support resource allocation projects related to ground equipment are merged into U Ⅱ地面设备 (Subset of ground equipment for mission activities);

[0149] The resource allocation projects related to tools have been merged into U. Ⅱ工具 (A subset of tools for mission activities);

[0150] The data-related resource allocation projects have been merged into U. Ⅱ资料 (A subset of data related to the mission activities);

[0151] Oil-related resource allocation projects have been merged into U Ⅱ油品 (A subset of oil products used in the mission activities);

[0152] The allocation of resources related to facilities is merged into U. Ⅱ设施 (A subset of facilities for mission activities);

[0153] Will U Ⅱ地面设备 U Ⅱ工具 U Ⅱ资料 U Ⅱ油品 U Ⅱ设施 The set of resource requirements for the task activity is obtained by combining the sets of resources. Ⅱ , that is U Ⅱ ={U Ⅱ地面设备 U Ⅱ工具 U Ⅱ资料 U Ⅱ油品 U Ⅱ设施}

[0154] like Figure 3 As shown:

[0161] like Figure 4 As shown, the transition class model is built on the maintenance class model, and its specific construction steps are as follows:

[0162] S3201. Aircraft transfer

[0163] S3201. Resource Packaging Guarantee

[0164] Resource packaging primarily involves preparing resource packaging boxes, which in turn leads to the necessary resource configuration items: "spare parts packaging boxes," "document packaging boxes," "equipment packaging boxes," and "tool packaging boxes." Once the above resource packaging boxes are prepared, the next step can be initiated.

[0165] S3202. Determine whether to perform idle operation.

[0166] If idling is required, execute the idling task directly; otherwise, proceed directly to ground rotation.

[0167] S3203. Determine if systemic decomposition is necessary.

[0168] After confirming entry into idling, first determine if machine disassembly is required. If so, further specify the necessary resources for disassembly: "Lifting device," "Disassembly vehicle," "Transportation tray," "Tool 1," "Pneumatic connector wrapping material," "Fuel connector wrapping material," and "Electrical connector wrapping material." Once disassembly is complete, proceed to the next step. If disassembly is not required, further specify the necessary resources: "Whole machine transport tray." Use the whole machine transport tray for transport. Once transport is complete, proceed to the next step.

[0169] S3204. Determine whether airborne equipment removal is required.

[0170] If necessary, further details the required resources for airborne equipment disassembly: "Tool 2," "Airborne Equipment Packaging Box," and "Work Platform." After completing the airborne equipment disassembly, proceed to the next step. Skip this step if not required.

[0171] S3205. Determine if sea freight is required.

[0172] If necessary, this step further elucidates the resource allocation project required for maritime transport – “containers”. If not, skip this step.

[0173] S3206. Purpose Reassembly

[0174] Upon arrival at the destination, reassembly is required, which leads to the allocation of necessary support resources for reassembly – “Tool 3” and “Lifting Equipment”. After reassembly is completed, a special inspection is conducted, thus completing the site transfer.

[0175] Based on the maintenance model, the above-mentioned aircraft relocation activity process (the process consisting of the above 6 steps) is used as the framework, each relocation step is used as a node, logical judgment is performed on each node, and based on the judgment result, the corresponding support resource configuration items are derived from that node, thus forming the relocation model.

[0176] Based on the established transition model, the aforementioned derived resource allocation items are initially grouped together, and similar items are merged to obtain:

[0177] Support resource allocation projects related to ground equipment are merged into U Ⅲ地面设备 (Subset of ground equipment for relocation activities);

[0178] The resource allocation projects related to tools have been merged into U. Ⅲ工具 (A subset of tools for transition activities);

[0179] The resource allocation projects related to packaging materials have been merged into U Ⅲ包装物 (A subset of packaging materials from the transition event)

[0180] Will U Ⅲ地面设备 U Ⅲ工具 U Ⅲ包装物 The set of resource requirements for the transition activities is obtained by combining the sets of resources U. Ⅲ U Ⅲ ={U Ⅲ地面设备 U Ⅲ工具 U Ⅲ包装物}

[0181] like Figure 4 As shown:

[0182] U Ⅲ地面设备 ={Lifting equipment, dismantling vehicle, transport bracket, whole machine transport bracket, work platform};

[0183] U Ⅲ工具 ={Tool 1, Tool 2, Tool 3}; Tools 1, Tool 2, and Tool 3 relate to tools used in aircraft relocation activities.

[0184] U Ⅲ包装物= {Spare parts packaging boxes, document packaging boxes, equipment packaging boxes, tool packaging boxes, gas line connector wrapping materials, oil line connector wrapping materials, electrical line connector wrapping materials, airborne equipment packaging boxes, containers}.

[0185] Example 5:

[0186] like Figure 5 The parking and storage model is built on the maintenance model, and its specific construction steps are as follows:

[0187] S3301. Aircraft parking

[0188] S3302. Determine if an oil seal is required.

[0189] If necessary, specify the resource allocation items required for the oil seal operation: "Oil Seal Device" and "Tool 1". If not, skip this step.

[0190] S3303. Determine whether protection of exposed openings is required.

[0191] If necessary, specify the required resource allocation items for exposed outlet protection – “Blocking / Capping” and “Tool 2”. If not, skip this step.

[0192] S3304. Aircraft parking

[0193] This leads to the resource allocation project required for the protection of exposed openings – “Aircraft Exterior Protective Equipment”.

[0194] S3305. Confirm whether the accessories need to be moved from their original location.

[0195] If necessary, remove the required resources for off-site parking – “Parking rack,” “Interface wrapping material,” “Plug / cap,” and “Tool 3.” Once off-site parking is complete, the parking and storage process ends. If not, the parking and storage process also ends.

[0196] Based on the maintenance model, the above aircraft parking and storage process (the process consisting of the above 5 steps) is used as the framework, and each transfer step is used as a node. Logical judgment is performed on each node, and based on the judgment result, the corresponding support resource configuration items are derived from that node, thus forming the parking and storage model.

[0197] Based on the established parking and storage model, the aforementioned derived resource allocation items are initially grouped together, and similar items are merged to obtain:

[0198] Support resource allocation projects related to ground equipment are merged into U Ⅳ地面设备 (Subset of ground equipment used for parking and storage activities);

[0199] The resource allocation projects related to tools have been merged into U. Ⅳ工具 (A subset of tools used in parking and storage activities);

[0200] The resource allocation projects related to packaging materials have been merged into U Ⅳ包装物 (The subset of packaging materials used in storage and preservation activities)

[0201] Will U Ⅳ地面设备 U Ⅳ工具 U Ⅳ包装物 The set of resources required for parking and storage activities is obtained by combining the sets of resources U. Ⅳ U Ⅳ ={U Ⅳ地面设备 U Ⅳ工具 U Ⅳ包装物}

[0202] like Figure 5 As shown:

[0203] U Ⅳ地面设备 ={oil seals, plugs / caps, parking racks, aircraft exterior protection};

[0204] U Ⅳ工具 ={Tool 1, Tool 2, Tool 3}; Tools 1, Tool 2, and Tool 3 refer to tools related to aircraft parking and storage activities;

[0205] U Ⅳ包装物 ={interface wrapping material}.

[0206] It should be noted that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
