 INTRODUCTION
The aim of the project is to
create a Airplane Inventory
Management System. Inventory
Management is one of the key
areas within an Aircraft
Servicing and Maintenance
organization.

The management of aircraft

spares, Line Replacement Units
(LRUs), Rotables,special
hardware items and consumables
of an aircraft or aircraft
servicing,
maintenance, repair and
overhaul (MRO) facility
includes several key area
starting from demand
management, modelling and
forecasting, material
management, order fulfilment
and tracking of movements,
warehouse management and
physical inventory control.
 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Maintaining each aircraft of its fleet is of utmost importance
for any airline to continue its operations. Any disruption in
flight schedule even due to one non-operating aircraft costs
millions to the airlines.
To efficiently manage its inventory of massive size and
complexity,
we propose an airline inventory management system. This system
helps to track more than 5 lakh parts with touch of a button.
Intricate details about spare parts are maintained through this
system. Not only this, but another useful feature is also that
this system helps in classifying various spare parts into
categories and tells as to which maintenance hangar the
aircraft must be parked in to get replaced a particular
component. It also holds data about vendors (suppliers of
components) as well as their helpline numbers to connect if any
emergency. Airlines will also be able to record and update
their orders of components made to different vendors, the total
amount to be paid as well as status of the orders and payments.
KEY FEATURES
 PROPOSED
SOLUTION
The most important aspect of this system is that each component is placed

in a designated warehouse and its location with respect to rows and racks

can be easily accessed within seconds which will enhance the airline

services and ensure smooth operations by fast replacement of

components. For this we have created different tables in our database like-
●Components
●Product_category
●Brand
●Vendor_order_tracking
●Component_location
 Components

The table “Components” includes details for each spare

part. The ‘Id’ is a primary attribute for every part and
the ‘Prod_id’ tells as to under which category the part
belongs to. ‘Brand_id’ specifies the vendor/company which
supplies the part. ‘Component_name’ specifies the name of
the spare part. The table also holds price, quantity of
each component and the last date on which its inventory was
updated on.
 Product_category

The table “Product_category” specifies the name

of category for each ‘Product_Id’ and the
maintenance hangar in which the plane must be
parked to replace any part belonging to the
particular product_category.
Brand
The table
“Brand” holds
the contacts
number for all
the vendors
which are needed
for making
future orders.
 Vendor_order_tracking

The table “Vendor_order_tracking” talks about each order

made with vendors and the total amount it costs as well
as whether the airlines have made paid for that or not
and whether have, they received the parts or not.
 Component_location

Since warehouses of airlines are almost like a city,

navigating any component is pathetic. Therefore, last
table “Component_location” specifies the physical
location of each part by attributes- warehouse, row
number and rack number.
