Maintenance Router
The Maintenance Router of MP2 holds two different methods:
Tail number routing
The Tail number router addresses the task of routing aircraft to their respective planned maintenance holds. Typically this is used in short term planning when the operator can determine a suitable maintenance slot at a certain maintenance station for a certain tail number. The optimizer will then route the whole fleet so that the tails due for maintenance come to their respective maintenance slot without ferry flights and without increasing the fleet size required.
Rule driven routing
The Rule driven router addresses a more long-term objective. The user enters the different rules for maintenance such as how often maintenance is required for each fleet and the stations that can handle maintenance. The system produces a typical week or a fully dated planning according to the rules entered.
In a "typical week" mode the result forms one single rotation where the last day of the week for an aircraft connects to the first day of the week for the next aircraft. The single rotation obeys the rules for intervals between maintenance and ensures that no planes are stuck on "locked rotations".
