Airlines and fleet operators

IFS Maintenix gives organizations the ability to run maintenance operations in real-time, with accurate configuration management and effective planning across multiple fleets. The power of IFS's best-of-breed Maintenix product sits in its ability to define and manage the asset hierarchies that create 'as designed' and 'as supported' configuration baselines. Real-time validations ensure that an aircraft's actual 'as maintained' configuration complies with the engineering rules defined in its baseline.

IFS software provides maintenance and execution with critical capabilities to plan, coordinate and execute a secure 360-degree operational maintenance program:

• Heavy maintenance production planning and control
• Line maintenance planning and execution
• Comprehensive work packaging
• Tool and resource management
• Material and parts management
• Component repair and shop manufacturing
• Reliability trend & performance analysis

Airline planners face daily challenges. The first is to reduce maintenance costs and optimize resource utilization across short and long-term horizons. Then, there is the requirement to come up with answers to support strategic growth initiatives.

By introducing better planning capabilities, operators can make the most of the resources they have. Modern tools help meet the end goal of being able to cost effectively service aircraft and to generate the most revenue out of each aircraft. IFS has solutions to help.

• IFS Maintenix Fleet Planner for long term fleet maintenance and strategic planning
• IFS Maintenix Line Planner for short term line maintenance planning

Over the last decade, there has been an industry-wide push from commercial airlines to digitize their operations—naturally one of the first steps on this journey is to overhaul many of the paper-based processes still prevalent in aircraft hangars today. Attempts made to modernize the logbook into a less-weighty, more connected, and integrated electronic logbook solution have largely fallen flat. Those solutions either brought excessive complexity and cost by trying to directly integrate into the aircraft system or required a duplication of a maintenance system. The adoption of electronic flight bags (EFBs) has seen portable tablets proliferate in the hands of pilots to solve the electronic logbook conundrum, but even these solutions have seen limited success since they are not integrated into maintenance operations.

IFS Maintenix takes a next-generation approach to electronic logbooks that’s simple, elegant, and fully integrated with the best-of-breed software for aviation maintenance management. IFS Maintenix eLogbook is a pilot-driven user experience, that maintains real-time compliance and facilitates maintenance line capability. It’s made for airlines—designed for pilots.
