| Summary: | Abstract—With global cuts in defense budgets, air forces have to sustain the same level of readiness with a reduced number of aircraft. To succeed with this challenge, it is not sufficient to improve current maintenance concepts, but also new ones have to be introduced. Traditionally, the development of on-board functions and maintenance concepts has been performed rather indepen-dently. The new approach is to focus on an integration of these two developments and to adapt a life cycle view together with a disregard of organizational boundaries. To facilitate necessary changes, a study is performed by Saab and Luleå University of Technology. The study focu-ses on the possibilities to integrate RCM and PHM in a cost-effective way. The aim is to reduce the workload of maintenance development and to find out how to combine |
