Information and management

Rolls-Royce is focused on providing maximum operational capability for its customers through the collection, management and interpretation of fleet-wide data.

Engine Health Monitoring (EHM)

EHM helps to optimise operating costs and prevent service disruption. High quality predictive support can highlight a maintenance requirement prior to a potential event and can assist with maintenance shop load planning and spares scheduling.

Optimised System & Solutions (OSyS) is the provider of the Rolls-Royce EHM service, providing trend monitoring of on-wing engine performance. EHM is a 'state of the art' predictive health service designed to minimise operational disruptions and simplify data reporting practices translating data into valuable information.

EHM benefits:

• Advance failure prediction to avoid the cost of operational disruption and engine repair
• Identification of effective line maintenance to increase time on wing
• Enables proactive fleet management capability to reduce unplanned removals
• Engine margin forecasting to maximise on-wing life
• Data handling and interpretation service to "free up" valuable customer time

Technical publications

Rolls-Royce produces all of the technical data to support engines both on wing in the operational environment and off wing in the overhaul environment. Technical Data Services distributes and supports the data within the customer’s operation through:

• formats compatible with aircraft publications
• original issue and full revision service
• critical bulletins posted within 24 hours
• email notification of all impending issues and updates

This service enables the airline to have full visibility of data without document management burden and web-enabled access provides direct cost savings on administration and potential IT investment.

Engine management

Rolls-Royce works in conjunction with its airline customers to provide effective engine fleet management based upon specific operational requirements. This service utilises Rolls-Royce product knowledge to reduce the customer's management burden while enhancing resource planning.

Optimum engine management is achieved through:

• formulation of a mutually agreed Engine Maintenance Program
• engine workscope definition and shop visit management
• on-going agreed amendments to reflect enhanced developments
• pro-active Fleet Maintenance Planning
• management of lease return conditions
