MXI Technologies has added an automated line-planning feature to its Maintenix aviation maintenance management software. The new feature is intended to help eliminate repetitive tasks and improve labor productivity by allowing planners to focus on critical issues and decisions.The software will provide near real-time visibility into the flight plans of each aircraft within a fleet, the maintenance capacity at each airport and all of the discrepancies and tasks required. Taking all of these factors into consideration, the automated line-planning feature generates and schedules a realistic set of work packages beginning with the most important tasks.According to the company, planners are immediately informed of any issues–such as routing, insufficient capacity or unavailability of parts–that could prevent work from being accomplished. The planner can then take action to ensure the necessary work is performed and that capacity is optimized.
