| Abstract | The study is focused on the application of maintainability analysis in a jet fighter aircraft in order to point out weaknesses of maintenance operations. Descriptive statistics of the repair data were carried out and both maintainability and repair rate modes for the entire aircraft were calculated. Maintainability for different time periods for aircraft’s principal subsystems has been estimated on the basis of fitted distribution models. Quality function deployment (QFD) method was applied to link customer requirements and maintenance characteristics in military squadron, revealing the relationship among the prevailing factors affecting maintenance operations. The QFD is proposed as a quality planning methodology to reduce aircraft repair time increasing at the same time squadron’s combat readiness. The highest maintainabilities were associated with the engine, the communication/navigation and the fuel subsystems, whereas the airplane general, the flight control and the structure subsystems bottomed out in maintainability performance. Furthermore, top management involvement, resources availability, maintenance procedures, maintenance planning as well as technical experience were the main factors responsible for the current maintainability level of this aircraft. The paper is based on practical actions being undertaken in an Airforce and therefore, is demonstrated to be practical in an aviation environment. This study may be used for long‐term, strategic assessment and planning decisions in order to sustain unit availability and overall air force combat readiness at a high level. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
