MX Planner

The maintenance schedule, built automatically and controlled by your planners

MX Planner takes what is due from your maintenance system, applies your station capacity and task rules, and places work packages on tails, stations and ground times. Planners adjust, replan after and release the plan to the scheduling system.

The plan arrives as a block

Today, maintenance communicates its plan to operations only as blocks in the scheduling system. A block shows when and where the aircraft is unavailable, but not the work package behind it, its priority, the cycles remaining, the vendor booked or the restriction the tail is carrying. The OCC is left deciding on part of the picture.

“Can we use this aircraft?”+15 min

The answer takes fifteen minutes

“Can we use this aircraft?” travels from the OCC to planning to maintenance control to the hangar and back. Usually the answer is yes. Sometimes the crew clock runs out before it arrives.

Plan as released

The plan is rebuilt by hand

One AOG or one late arrival pushes work off tonight’s ground time, which pushes other work off tomorrow’s. Planners absorb the cascade for days.

We work with airlines in Europe, North America and Asia with fleets from tens to hundreds of aircraft across multiple bases.
