“The Significant Problems we face cannot be solved with the same level of thinking we were at when we created them” – Albert Einstein “89% of failures are random in nature. Therefore, the failure rate and occurrence of these failure modes could not be improved by the imposition of a periodic replacement strategy based on time.” – Nowlan and Heap Reliability Centered Maintenance written by United Airlines under the sponsorship of the Office of Assistant Secretary of Defense UNCLASSIFIED

Inflight Diagnostics  

KC-46 Flight Critical Fault Transfer Capability Enhances In-System Repair Velocity



Informed Divert Decisions  Direct Aircraft to a Repair Capable Facility  Equipment Support to Aircraft is Most of the Battle



Increased Part Velocity  Faulty Component Identified After Fault Transmission  Recovery Actions Start Before Aircraft Lands 

Remove Bottleneck  Parallel vs Series

Engine Regionalization KC-46 Notional Concept 

Legacy Distribution vs Regional Hub



$82.9M vs $17.3M = $65.6M in Spares Savings



Projected 10-Year Time on Wing



Is it Effective to Store Spare Engines for 10 Years Before We Install Them?



Where Else Can We Reduce Our Spares With Prognostics?
