Anforderungsgerechte QS-System-Architekturen

Logistische Funktionsketten mit der Integration von Information, Arbeits- und Materialflüssen für einen durchgängigen Auftragsabwicklungsprozeß müssen auch Qualitätssicherungsfunktionen mit beinhalten. Dies ist nur über eine entsprechende QS-Systemarchitektur zu realisieren, die an jeder Stelle im dispositiven und operativen Ablauf im Sinne der Fehlervermeidung dafür sorgt, daß die angestrebten Qualitätsziele erreicht werden.

Automated generic integration of flight logbook data into aircraft maintenance systems

The automated transfer of flight logbook information from aircrafts into aircraft maintenance systems leads to reduced ground and maintenance time and is thus desirable from an economical point of view. Until recently, flight logbooks have not been managed electronically in aircrafts or at least the data transfer from aircraft to ground maintenance system has been executed manually. Latest aircraft types such as the Airbus A380 or the Boeing 787 do support an electronic logbook and thus make an automated transfer possible. A generic flight logbook transfer system must deal with different data formats on the input side – due to different aircraft makes and models – as well as different, distributed aircraft maintenance systems for different airlines as aircraft operators. This article contributes the concept and top level distributed system architecture of such a generic system for automated flight log data transfer. It has been developed within a joint industry and applied research project. The architecture has already been successfully evaluated in a prototypical implementation.
