Abstract

With the gradual easing of the low altitude policy in China, the domestic general aviation is breaking the bottleneck and booming, which may bring a fact that the after-sales service of the aircraft shall be put on the schedule in the forecasting future. As an important resource, the supply status of aircraft spares has great effects on the normal operation of the aircraft. Plenty of researches have been conducted on the spares types and the stocks prediction in recent years. As a hub of the supply chain, spares warehouse location matters the service quality, the operating costs and the operational availability of the plane. Besides, the sites can not be changed easily once the warehouses are built, which will waste money and time. Thus, a good location policy is of great significance.
