Abstract
A method manages aircraft parts. A determination is made as to whether a no fault found parameter for a part type is greater than a no fault found threshold for an acceptable level for no fault found occurrences for the part type. The no fault found parameter is how often a no fault found for the part type occurs relative to how often that the part type has been removed and replaced. A determination is made as to whether an average fix time parameter is greater than a fix time threshold for a correct part replacement. The average fix time parameter identifies an average amount of time before a replaced part for the part type was replaced again. An alert is generated in response to the no fault found parameter being greater than the no fault found threshold and the average fix time parameter being greater than fix time threshold.
