Optima
Optimising complex asset maintenance in aviation
Managing complex assets is clouded with the unknown. The interplay between engineering activities and contractual obligations is challenging, especially in high-paced environments. Our Optima service combines PA’s aviation expertise, DecisionBrain’s decision intelligence technology, and TGIS Aviation’s powerplant management expertise to ensure cost-effective maintenance.
Currently deployed within aviation, Optima uses advanced digital twin technology to assess billions of potential maintenance combinations to harmonise fleet management, contract terms, and engine retirement strategies. The impact of this intelligent, holistic approach is proven in market with leading flag carriers.
Enhancing airlines’ bottom line
Optima utilises a suite of digital technologies to rapidly drive down total aircraft engine life costs, sharpening airlines’ competitive edge.
The advanced service draws together billions of maintenance combinations, operational scenarios, and contractual constraints to optimise engine maintenance, considering a wider and deeper range of scenarios than possible with mainstream tools. Optima simultaneously delivers:
Create a robust long-term plan for the whole engine fleet, across their entire lifespans. The plan evolves alongside real-world conditions, boosting financial performance and realising benefits as forecasted.
Fine-tune engine shop visit planning and scheduling, minimise Life Limited Parts and underutilised spare engines, and provide streamlined, manageable maintenance plans across the entire fleet.
Balance detailed lease return conditions and financial compensation terms for each engine, producing a maintenance plan that reduces lease return costs.
Test and plan retirement and fleet introduction strategies down to the engine, module, and part levels, regardless of fleet size or complexity.
