Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of equipment maintenance and support, and specifically to a method for optimizing the configuration of aviation support spare parts by constructing a benchmark comparison system data model. Background Technology
[0002] Spare parts are spare components, parts, or assemblies reserved for maintenance and replacement. When a part of equipment or a system fails, wears out, or reaches the end of its lifespan, spare parts are used to replace it and restore its original function. Support equipment consists of the tools, equipment, instruments, and devices necessary for the installation, testing, calibration, maintenance, repair, and overhaul of main equipment. It is not itself a component of the main equipment but serves the main equipment throughout its entire lifecycle. As two important support resources, the optimal configuration of spare parts and support equipment plays a crucial role in the capability of the support system. Their adequacy directly affects the combat readiness and operational effectiveness of equipment, and is key to ensuring the timely, economical, and effective establishment of a support system when equipment is delivered to the troops.
[0003] Existing analytical methods for aviation spare parts and support equipment can be used to construct data models for aviation equipment supportability benchmark comparison systems, supporting supportability data collection. These methods have already considered support characteristic trade-offs and optimization, and extensive research has been conducted on life cycle modeling. Relatively rich methods exist for spare parts and support equipment demand estimation and forecasting. However, shortcomings remain: 1. Inaccurate resource allocation: When proposing spare parts and support equipment requirements during the development phase, the impact of the equipment's mission scenarios and support characteristics was not fully considered, resulting in a discrepancy between the support analysis personnel's control over support resource requirements and the actual situation.
[0004] 2. Insufficient data: Due to the imperfect data sharing mechanism and the non-standard and untimely data entry, the data often fails to fully cover the entire life cycle of equipment production, inventory, supply, maintenance and other aspects. As a result, the multi-source heterogeneous data of spare parts and support equipment has not been effectively utilized, and benchmark comparison has not been systematically implemented for support resource analysis and calculation.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to build a benchmark comparison system that combines analysis of typical equipment mission scenarios and covers similar system mission data, characteristic parameters, spare parts and support equipment configuration data. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Based on the shortcomings of the existing technology, this invention provides a method for optimizing the configuration of aviation support spare parts by constructing a benchmark comparison system data model. This method addresses the problems in the existing technology where equipment data cannot fully cover the entire life cycle and multi-source heterogeneous data is not effectively utilized. This invention applies the benchmark comparison system to the field of spare parts and support equipment analysis, which can effectively utilize multi-source data of similar equipment, solve the problem of insufficient data in traditional spare parts and support equipment optimization, and improve the accuracy of spare parts and support equipment configuration optimization.

[0021] In this invention, the factor represents the amount of material consumed, such as the task factor representing the amount of material consumed to complete the task.
[0022] Figure 1 The present invention presents a flowchart of the aviation support spare parts configuration optimization method for constructing a benchmark comparison system data model, comprising the following steps: S1. For typical mission scenarios of the equipment to be analyzed, determine the construction requirements of the benchmark comparison system based on the support characteristics of the equipment to be analyzed and the data requirements of the support system.

[0028] S221. The supply factor is calculated based on the proportion of the specific mission within the equipment's service life. According to the mission parameters, the total working time of this typical mission is Tm = 960 flight hours. Therefore, the mission supply factor for this mission can be further calculated as follows: ; In the formula, Indicates the total service life of the equipment. Indicates the supply response time of a single piece of equipment. This indicates the number of components required for the mission deployed on the equipment. This indicates the quantity of equipment required for the mission, where the equipment supply factor is... The supply response time is measured based on the equipment reliability parameter Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and the maintainability parameter Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). When the equipment adopts different reliability and maintainability design schemes, the supply response time will vary greatly.

[0037] S41. Based on the benchmark comparison system data, the range of values for the optimization parameters is initially determined, including the optimal and worst values, as shown in Table 3 below: Table 3. Value range of each optimization parameter S42. Based on the value ranges of each parameter initially determined above, a sensitivity analysis is performed on each factor. For reliability and maintainability parameters, the analysis is conducted by increasing the value by 20% each time. For the quantity of spare parts and support equipment, the analysis is conducted by increasing the value by 1 each time. The final MTBF sensitivity analysis results for each LRU are as follows: Figures 2-5 As shown.
[0038] S43. Determine the significant sensitivity intervals and corresponding parameter ranges for each optimization parameter. By establishing a determination criterion, the significant sensitivity intervals for each parameter are obtained. Based on this, the value range of the parameters is initially determined, and the variable region of the optimization parameters is further narrowed for optimization. The analysis results are shown in Table 4 below: Table 4. Significant sensitivity intervals and corresponding parameter ranges for each optimization parameter. S5. Based on the comprehensive optimization model of the marginal analysis method that takes into account the importance level, the configuration scheme with the highest task availability is obtained under the requirement of the highest material consumption of the maximum factor.
[0039] S51. Based on the analysis results of step S4, the sensitivity of each optimization index is further determined, and the following can be obtained: k MTBF =0.0482, k MTTR =0.0465, k s =0.0177, k r =0.2829, so the importance level of each optimization index can be determined according to the sensitivity. The order from low to high is: spare parts configuration quantity, MTTR, MTBF, and support equipment configuration quantity, and the corresponding importance levels are recorded as 0, 1, 2, and 3.
[0040] S52. Obtain the configuration scheme with the highest task availability under the requirement of maximum material consumption of the maximum factor. Based on the importance level determined in step S51 and combined with the regeneration task availability of the given configuration scheme, obtain the comprehensive optimization model of spare parts and support equipment. Analyze step by step to obtain the optimal configuration scheme of all optimization parameters among multiple optimization indicators that meet the maximum material consumption constraint. Generate the task availability-task factor curve and obtain the four-stage optimization analysis results for equipment reliability, maintainability, and other support characteristics and support resources, as shown in Table 5 below: Table 5. Results of Comprehensive Optimization Analysis of Guarantee Characteristics and Guarantee Resources A convexity analysis of all the configuration schemes given in the table above shows that there is no "non-convexity". By comparing all the alternative schemes that meet the conditions, it is easy to see that scheme 9 is the optimal scheme in terms of reliability, maintainability measurement parameters and the number of spare parts and support resources that maximizes the task availability target.
