Block concept
Tasks grouped by interval families and performed close to their deadline.
Maintenance workload and ground time per event could vary significantly
Several concepts could be possible :
Equalized concept
Tasks grouped in order to fit with predefined maintenance ground times.
Event manpower load and maintenance ground time are balanced
On Demand concept
Tasks not grouped in order to optimize predefined maintenance interval. Next due
managed task by task.
Event manpower load and maintenance ground time are flexible according to the Work

Pros
Less investments as fewer maintenance
stations (spares / tools / consumables /
Accessing / Docking / Tooling)
Maintenance task interval utilization
optimized
Lower risk for additional ground times
(AD, Mods, Repairs, )
More time for defects rectifications
Cons
Unbalanced manpower load over
the checks
Premature planning of Out of
Phase and Time Controlled Items
Maintenance Schedule Development
Block Concept Pros & Cons
Page 175
Pros
Better Aircraft availability & better
operational flexibility
Even Maintenance Ground Time
Even Manpower load
Better interval utilization for Out of
Phase and Time Controlled Items
Cons
More investments as more maintenance
Stations (spares / tools / consumables /
Accessing / Docking / Tooling)
Repetitive access opening/closing
Increase of non-routine items on ageing
aircraft affect expected maintenance
ground time
More stringent monitoring and correction
of arising defects

Pros
Better operational flexibility due to
less down time
Better A/C availability
Optimized to fit operator needs
Better interval utilization for Out of

Cons
High Planning complexity
Accurate A/C utilization & routes

Reliability Control program :
Is used to monitor the effectiveness of the Maintenance Program
Is an essential Quality System process
Contribute to the optimization of maintenance costs (scheduled /
unscheduled)
Reliability program is imposed by the Regulatory
Authorities, which require an Operator to establish a
program for continuing analysis & surveillance of its
operations.
