ICRON, which provides Optimized Decision Making and Supply Chain Optimization software solutions, has announced the successful go-live of ICRON’s Maintenance Cards Interval Optimization solution at Turkish Technic.
The implementation of the ICRON solution at Turkish Technic, which was carried out with ICRON’s implementation partner Deloitte and was completed in only five months, gives the MRO provider the capability to optimize its long-term maintenance plans, taking into account the individual characteristics of each aircraft such as age, type, and utilization as well as maintenance card constraints.
With ICRON, Turkish Technic is able to automatically generate optimal block and equalized maintenance plans – with a time horizon of up to 30 years – for individual aircraft or groups of aircraft that optimize the assignment of maintenance cards and minimize aircraft ground time and maintenance frequency, duration, and setup times.
ICRON also gives Turkish Technic’s planners full visibility over the maintenance planning process, the capability to dynamically revise their plans due to changing circumstances, and the ability to conduct “what-if” analysis and compare different scenarios based on their impact on the company’s KPIs.
Yasin Birinci, Turkish Technic’s Production Planning and Control Director, commented: “After a fast and smooth implementation, ICRON’s MRO optimization solution is now live at Turkish Technic. With ICRON, we have a robust, integrated planning and decision support system that enables us to rapidly create optimal block and equalized maintenance plans for each aircraft and also empowers us to make the best decisions to maximize aircraft flight time and avoid the early application of maintenance cards. Although the solution was just recently deployed, we are already starting to see noticeable improvements to resource utilization, productivity, and costs.”
