An International Airline Reduces Costs of Aircraft Parking and Engine Maintenance Through Smarter Scheduling
Overview The airline wanted to reduce costs by making the processes of assigning aircraft to parking slots and scheduling engine maintenance more efficient. IBM built a user-friendly application that contains advanced mathematical models and algorithms that find the optimal solution for parking any set of aircraft over a specific period of time. The application considers the many complex variables involved in scheduling aircraft parking in less than three minutes and can be manually adjusted using a graphical interface. IBM developed an engine management application that reduced scheduling time for 30 engines to one hour and helped reduce operational and rule violation costs by 30%. In addition, the parking scheduling application helped reduce outsourcing costs by 30%.
