Enhancing Avionics Systems Reliability and Maintainability through Development of IDSS - A Systems Approach

Abstract

This research paper reports the work performed to improve reliability and maintainability of avionics systems using an intelligent decision support system (IDSS). The research takes on a systems approach to integrate information from a maintenance management system (MMS), logistic management system (LMS) and engineering management system (EMS). In order to understand the shortcomings of the existing system, the prevalent practices and methodologies are researched. The paper reports the significant improvements made by integrating autonomous information sources as knowledge into the IDSS.
