Abstract

The use of documentation for task support in aircraft line maintenance is still mostly paper-based, which is slow, burdensome and prone to error. This paper provides an overview of the issues associated with the use of paper-based documentation in aircraft line maintenance and describes the development of a novel concept for contextualised documentation to address these issues. Using ontology-based data access, the system is able to retrieve relevant documents approximately twice as fast as existing relational database systems and provides support for a wide variety of file types. Limitations of the developed system are software vendor dependency, compatibility issues between integrated software solutions and lack of support for automatic mappings. Nevertheless, the developed system provides a proof of concept for a mobile tool to overcome the weaknesses of maintenance documentation in line maintenance, working towards increased operational efficiency, reduction of human factor induced maintenance errors and reduced paper consumption.

将飞机维修文档置于上下文中

飞机线路维护中用于任务支持的文档的使用仍然主要是基于纸张的，这是缓慢的、繁重的并且容易出错。本文概述了在飞机线路维护中使用纸质文档的相关问题，并描述了为解决这些问题而开发的上下文文档的新概念。使用基于本体的数据访问，该系统能够以大约两倍于现有关系数据库系统的速度检索相关文档，并为各种文件类型提供支持。所开发系统的局限性包括软件供应商依赖性、集成软件解决方案之间的兼容性问题以及缺乏对自动映射的支持。尽管如此，所开发的系统为移动工具提供了概念验证，以克服线路维护中维护文档的弱点，努力提高操作效率，减少人为因素导致的维护错误，并减少纸张消耗。

期刊介绍： The objective of IJASM is to establish an effective channel of communication between academia, industry and persons concerned with the design and development of systems. Change is eternal and perpetual, irrespective of type of system. Systems created in the course of the advance of human civilization need to be functionally and operationally sustainable amid changes in technological, political, socio-economical, financial, cultural and other environmental challenges. IJASM aims to promote and harmonize knowledge developments in the emerging fields of agile systems research, sustainability and vulnerability analysis, risk assessments methodologies, complex systems science, e-organisation and e-supply chain management, with emphasis on the international dimension, particularly breaking cultural barriers, and on national contexts, globalisation and new business practices. As such, we aim to publish papers presenting new research, innovative theoretical approaches, changes in agile management paradigms, and action (both examples of successes and failures as long as there are important lessons to be learned) from leading scholars and practitioners. Papers generally fall into two broad categories: those grounded in theory and/or papers using scientific research methods (e.g., reports of original empirical studies, models, critical reviews of existing empirical research, theory pieces that clearly extend current thinking); and those focusing on innovative agile approaches that are based on well reasoned extensions of existing research, experiential knowledge, or exemplary cases (e.g., thought pieces, case studies, etc).
