Abstract

The predictive maintenance alert lifecycle is a critical topic in the aviation industry. Stakeholders, including operators, suppliers, and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), require effective frameworks to support the value proposition of predictive maintenance products and services. However, defining alert effectiveness is challenging due to the lack of industry standards for the end-to-end lifecycle of predictive maintenance alerts. Adding to the challenge, different stakeholders may want to optimize on different objectives. Often, alert performance is measured prematurely or not at all. To ensure high-quality alerts, all alerts should be managed through their entire lifecycle until obsolescence. This whitepaper outlines a clear conceptual framework for the predictive maintenance alert lifecycle and best practices alert lifecycle management. Future work will expand upon the qualitative benefits discussed herein with quantitative results achieved from applying this framework to assess alert effectiveness at scale within the Boeing alert catalog.
