Aircraft Maintenance Service System Modeling based on Fault Events

The complexity of business processes and the largely manual analysis of the maintenance for the civil aircraft keep the cost of the maintenance in a consistently high level. To improve the effciency of the maintenance, there has been a high requirement for providing a collaborative work environment for operation support among the stakeholders. Therefore, in this paper, firstly, the major problems in aircraft maintenance are identified via the literature review. Then, we propose a general architecture modeling methodology based on the extended conceptual model of architecture description. And then, an architecture model for the AMSS (Aircraft Maintenance Service System) is constructed by utilizing the methodology. Finally, a detailed discussion is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of this methodology.
