Context

A critical aspect of military aircraft fleet management is aircraft availability.

The problem is complex because maintenance resources are limited and a typical aircraft has components with different maintenance requirements.

The example below demonstrates some of the complexity in a fleet of 10 aircraft. The model utilises an agent based modelling approach, enabling larger fleet numbers to be modelled with little additional model construction effort.

Note: A version of this model was incorporated into the AnyLogic software as an example of asset management. This model can be activated by clicking on the following link (requires Java Runtime Plug-in).

 

Other Applications

The same decision modelling method can be applied to fleet management of vehicles, equipment and components in other industries including mining equipment (eg. haul trucks), commercial jet engines and public buses.
