1. A method for managing the maintenance and materials for an aircraft fleet comprising:
operating a network of computing devices including a central integrated maintenance and material services (IMMS) center having a maintenance and engineering management (MEM) server configured to control a peripheral group of servers including one or more of a ground based electronic log book and aircraft health and maintenance (ELB and AHM) server, an in service data program (ISDP) server, a situational awareness (SA) server and an integrated material management (IMM) server, where each of the maintenance and engineering management server and the peripheral group of servers have at least one processor and at least one memory; executing with the at least one processor, instructions stored in the at least one memory causing the maintenance and engineering management server and the peripheral group of servers to perform the process of, collecting aircraft on-board systems data from on-board data systems, where said aircraft on-board systems data is representative of one or more of on-board physical faults, parts, and flight information for a plurality of aircraft and receiving and centrally storing the aircraft on-board systems data at the at least one memory, submitting a plurality of parts requests from the IMMS center through the IMM to a plurality of part supplier computing systems for parts to service the plurality of aircraft using the collected aircraft on-board systems data, submitting a plurality of maintenance requests from the MEM server to a plurality of maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) computing systems for maintenance using the collected aircraft on-board systems data, and testing communication and data transmissions between the MEM and one or more of the ELB and AHM server, the SA sever, the ISDP server and the IMM server to verify correct transmissions; and recording the communication and data transmission tests. |
