Collection and management of data coupled with Rolls-Royce product knowledge and supply chain expertise enables engine management focused on maximum operational capability.

Engine Health Monitoring (EHM)
EHM is an essential part of professional aircraft management, helping to optimise operating costs and prevent service disruption. High quality predictive support can indicate a maintenance requirement prior to a potential event and can assist with maintenance shop load planning and spares scheduling.

Data Systems & Solutions (DS&S) is the provider of the Rolls-Royce EHM service. This provides trend monitoring of on-wing engine performance. Advisory or alert messages are generated when significant data signatures are recognised and these are transmitted to operators by email or text messages.
 
It is a 'state of the art' predictive health service designed to minimise operational disruptions and simplify data reporting practices turning data into valuable information

EHM benefits:

• Advance failure prediction to avoid the expensive 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 our 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 providing direct cost savings on administration and potential IT investment.

Engine management
Working in conjunction with the airline to provide effective engine fleet management based upon customer operational requirements, this service uses Rolls-Royce product knowledge to reduce the management burden, risk of high costs and early shop visits and enhance resource planning to the airlines.

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
