Resource Management in Ground Services: Digital Simulation of Aircraft Turnaround Time Efficiency
Abstract
In this study, which examines the effect of resource management in ground handling services on the efficiency of aircraft cycle time, the concepts of ground handling services and aircraft cycle time will be discussed, followed by an emphasis on the importance of resource management and ground handling services. The effect of resource management on cycle time efficiency will be analyzed through simulation modeling using Arena software. In the aviation sector, ground handling services play a critical role in the efficient management of aircraft operations at airports. Ground handling services impact aircraft cycle time by offering various sub-services aimed at minimizing the time aircraft spend on the ground. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the average aircraft cycle time was 44.29 minutes, which increased to 66.03 minutes after the pandemic. The primary factors affecting aircraft cycle time have been determined based on staff work ratios: loading and unloading take 66.78%, cleaning 34.68%, and refueling 21.84% of the total time. To enhance efficiency in ground handling services, the concept of resource management and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are utilized. Defined according to ISO 55000 standards, resource management enables organizations to manage their resources and performance in the most optimal and reliable way throughout their life cycle to achieve their strategic plans. In the aviation industry, ERP systems are preferred for reasons such as cost savings, quality improvement, enhancement of human activities, and increased efficiency.
