Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerospace logistics support and intelligent supply chain management technology, specifically to an inventory management method and system for the support of aviation materials for rescue helicopters. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous evolution of aviation equipment technology and the diversification of deployment environments, the complexity of aviation material support operations has increased significantly. This complexity poses serious challenges to demand forecasting and inventory management, especially in dealing with extreme environmental coupling and sparse fault data.
[0003] Currently, aircraft parts inventory management typically relies on traditional linear statistical forecasting methods. Technicians analyze historical operational data such as flight logs and maintenance records, combining this with simple empirical values to set safety stock and reorder points. While these methods can provide basic support under standard operating conditions, they often fail to reflect the real-time, dynamic impact of external environmental stress on component lifespan. Furthermore, existing statistical forecasting methods have significant limitations when facing complex operating conditions. On one hand, simple linear models cannot effectively quantify the nonlinear coupling relationship between environmental factors such as salt spray, humidity, and temperature differences and equipment age, leading to a high likelihood of both critical component shortages and stockpiles of obsolete materials in extreme environments. On the other hand, when the amount of fault data is small and the sample is sparse, traditional statistical methods are prone to parameter bias, making it difficult to accurately capture long-tail risks. Moreover, procurement orders are easily affected by small data fluctuations, resulting in frequent oscillations and reducing the stability and efficiency of supply chain management. Therefore, accurately quantifying the accelerating effect of multidimensional environmental stress on equipment wear and tear, and achieving precise dynamic inventory optimization under small sample conditions, has become a pressing technical problem in the field of aircraft parts support.

[0052] Example 1:
[0053] Please see Figure 1 An inventory management method for the support of rescue helicopter parts includes the following steps:
[0054] S1. Collect operation and maintenance data, environmental monitoring data and equipment attribute data of the target equipment; clean and time-series align the operation and maintenance data to generate historical consumption feature vectors; perform correlation mapping between environmental monitoring data and equipment attribute data to generate multi-dimensional state feature vectors.
[0055] S2. Construct a nonlinear coupled stress field model. The nonlinear coupled stress field model includes a coupling operator and a sensitivity constant. Input the multidimensional state feature vector into the nonlinear coupled stress field model and solve for the comprehensive stress index.
[0056] S3. Perform stress-weighted time axis mapping operation in the time dimension. Based on the comprehensive stress index, the physical operating time of the target equipment is mapped into the equivalent loss time to unify the equipment aging benchmark under different environments.
[0057] S4. Reconstruct the demand distribution parameters. Based on the equivalent loss time and historical consumption feature vector, calculate the variance inflation correction coefficient. Use the variance inflation correction coefficient to perform nonlinear correction on the standard deviation of the historical demand distribution to generate a dynamic demand distribution model.
[0058] S5. Based on the dynamic demand distribution model, and combined with the preset supply cycle parameters and service level targets, calculate the dynamic safety stock and reorder point.
[0059] S6. Based on the dynamic safety stock level and reorder point, generate tiered procurement instructions and inventory warning signals, and send the procurement instructions to the supply chain management system to trigger resource allocation.
[0060] This embodiment aims to solve the problem of simultaneous shortage of critical components and accumulation of obsolete materials caused by the use of simple linear statistical prediction when existing technologies face the coupling of sparse fault data and extreme environments.
[0061] The system performs the steps of collecting and vectorizing multidimensional heterogeneous data. It collects target equipment, such as flight logs and maintenance records of S-76C helicopters at different deployment bases, as well as environmental monitoring data such as salt spray concentration and humidity, through a multi-source heterogeneous data fusion module. After cleaning the noise in the raw data, it generates historical consumption feature vectors and multidimensional state feature vectors containing environmental pressure values and equipment age values.
[0062] A nonlinear coupled stress field model is constructed, which introduces a coupling operator to map the multidimensional state eigenvectors into a dimensionless comprehensive stress exponent. Quantify the acceleration of external conditions on equipment lifespan consumption;
[0063] Perform a stress-weighted time axis mapping operation in the time dimension, and calculate the physical runtime based on the comprehensive stress index. Mapped to equivalent loss time This refers to the time required for the equipment to exhibit the same degree of physical degradation under a standard reference environment.
[0064] Based on this, the demand distribution parameters are reconstructed, and the standard deviation of the demand distribution is corrected using the variance inflation correction coefficient to generate a dynamic demand distribution model that can characterize long-tail risk.

The equivalent loss time is used as a bridge to map the failure samples in the heterogeneous environment to the target environment space to achieve sample expansion. In the parameter enhancement process, the equivalent loss time is used as a bridge to unify the samples in different environments to the standard environment space, such as the standard temperature and humidity space. In this way, the missing samples in the current environment are filled by cross-environment data, which solves the problem of statistical parameter bias under small sample conditions.
[0073] This embodiment is a further refinement of the data acquisition and sparsity processing steps;
[0074] In the process of digitizing the natural degradation trajectory, the system collects historical fault timestamps accurate to the minute and the total flight hours (TFH) of the equipment up to that moment. This maintenance data is defined as reflecting the linear degradation process of the equipment under the natural passage of physical time.

[0076] Perform sparsity detection and parameter enhancement; the system determines the number of valid fault records within a preset time window. ; In response to data volume falling below a preset statistical threshold, for example The system labels the dataset as sparse samples; in this case, a parameter augmentation process based on multidimensional state feature vectors is initiated:
[0077] Searching for the same model component in other high-stress environments, the comprehensive stress index is: Failure data below ;
[0078] The formula for calculating the equivalent loss time is: ;
[0079] Calculate the comprehensive stress index of the current target environment by calling preset parameters. ;
[0080] Perform reverse mapping This generates virtual failure data points in the current environment; during the initial running phase of this step, calculations are performed. Required sensitivity constant The system uses historical experience values of the same model of component stored in the system as the initial iteration parameters; after the system completes the parameter regression analysis of the current deployment location through step S2, the updated sensitivity constant is used to perform a second correction on the virtual failure data points; through the above steps, external high-value data is projected onto the current sparse space to construct a statistically significant sample space.

[0097] The mathematical meaning of the interaction item corresponding to the embodiment is: as the machine age increases... As the environmental factor increases, the physical vulnerability of the equipment rises exponentially. As a multiplicative factor, it amplifies the destructive effect on this vulnerability;
[0098] The sensitivity constant was determined through regression analysis of historical failure data using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method; among which, The utilization sensitivity coefficient The environmental coupling strength coefficient. For model constants, The time decay constant is represented by the reciprocal of physical time, ensuring the exponential term in the nonlinear connection field model. The value is dimensionless; the maximum likelihood estimation method minimizes the likelihood function with respect to the moment of equipment failure and uses Newton's iteration method to solve for the parameter combination that maximizes the probability of the observed sample.
