ABSTRACT: The current space launch missions are intense, and the utilization of
equipment is frequent, demanding increasingly higher responsiveness and
capability in maintenance and support. The aerospace equipment maintenance and
support chain relies on aerospace equipment maintenance and support facilities,
deploying various maintenance and support resources rationally according to
specific requirements and principles, ultimately forming a unidirectional
functional chain or network from the supply side to the demand side. This
system helps address the “bottleneck” issue in the generation
of aerospace equipment support capability and significantly improves the level
of aerospace equipment maintenance and support. The model construction is a prerequisite for analyzing the formation and
operation mechanism of the chain, and identifying factors affecting the
efficiency and effectiveness of maintenance
and support. With consideration of the particularity of aerospace equipment maintenance and support, the paper extensively investigates the construction of
the aerospace equipment maintenance and support chain model by drawing on
research achievements in modern supply chain and logistics theories, as well as
model construction methods. It develops a structural diagram-based chain model,
with symbols as key elements, and establishes an evaluation indicator system, providing insights into understanding and
grasping the composition of the aerospace equipment maintenance and
support chain effectively. Furthermore, it offers a reference for solving other
equipment support chains’ construction and optimization problems.
