Project Objective
To build an advanced forecasting and visualization system for engines, major components, and Line Replaceable Units (LRUs), fully integrated into the airline’s Odoo-based ERP ecosystem.
Challenges
- Highly manual forecasting process spread across multiple spreadsheets and data sources.
- No real-time visibility of upcoming engine maintenance and component replacement needs.
- Lack of actionable insights for component swaps to optimize time-on-wing.
- Delayed or inaccurate planning for critical LRU stock and repair orders.
- No unified dashboard to track engine performance trends and repair turnaround times.
Solution
Developed a powerful Custom Engine & Component Forecasting Module fully embedded into Odoo:
Engine Forecasting Dashboard
- Forecasted upcoming engine section maintenance (Gas Generator, Power Section, Hot Section) based on current utilization data.
- Integrated multiple data sources:
- Engine Utilization
- Aircraft Utilization
- Inventory Levels
- Open Repair Orders
- Displayed upcoming removal windows to enable advanced maintenance planning.
- Highlighted opportunities to align component removals to maximize on-wing hours.
Component & Spare Parts Forecasting
- Forecasted critical spare part requirements for engines and components.
- Identified potential stock shortfalls well in advance.
- Provided real-time dashboards of:
- Available stock
- Parts under repair
- Parts on order
- Unserviceable parts pending decision.
Component Swap Opportunities
- Visualized remaining useful life for major LRUs and components.
- Recommended component swaps between engines to optimize remaining life utilization.
- Helped minimize unnecessary maintenance actions and maximize fleet availability.
Vendor Repair & Turnaround Tracking
- Monitored repair order progress and vendor turnaround times for critical parts.
- Flagged delays for proactive escalation.
- Improved visibility of in-transit and pending repairs.
Data Integration
- Automated daily imports of:
- Engine and Aircraft Utilization Data
- Stores Inventory Status
- Repair Order Status
- Parts on Order
- Unserviceable Part Status
Outcomes
- 50% reduction in manual forecasting and planning efforts.
- Improved accuracy of engine maintenance and component planning.
- Significant reduction in LRU stock-outs and emergency procurement.
- Enhanced decision-making with dynamic Odoo dashboards and visualizations.
- Optimized component utilization and increased engine time-on-wing.
Odoo Modules Used
- Odoo Inventory
- Odoo Purchase
- Odoo Products
- Custom Engine & Component Forecasting Module
- Custom Dashboards Module
- Integrated with Odoo Reporting and Odoo Scheduler for daily updates.
