Analyzing the Statistical Impact of Supply Chain Management on Aircraft Maintenance Turnaround Time within the MRO Industry

Abstract

In the context of the aircraft Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) industry, Supply Chain Management (SCM) is paramount, as timely aircraft release per contractual agreements is imperative. Nevertheless, adhering to agreed-upon schedules remain a formidable challenge for MRO operations due to SCM-related issues, primarily delays in procuring aircraft components and inventory management complexities. This research paper is primarily dedicated to investigating two core aspects: the first one is the management, and the second one is the implementation of innovative tools in the supply chain domain, encompassing a broad spectrum of concerns. The findings of this study assess the impact of SCM on aircraft maintenance turnaround time, employing statistical analysis as the primary methodology.
