WHAT IS HIGH VELOCITY
MAINTENANCE (HVM)?
A program recognizing
that by accelerating
assets or equipment through
maintenance depots,
manufacturers can
dramatically increase asset
availability and uptime.

• HVM strives to streamline process
and lean out wait times to achieve
maximum depot productivity and
minimum turn-around-times
• This is achieved by understanding
the relationships of all of the
resources and processes required
for a maintenance event

HOW DOES HVM WORK?
Synchronizing three essential components
Systems/ Assets
• Number of systems
• Configurations

Maintenance Plan
• Maintenance BOMs
• Resource plan
Material Plan
Scheduled demands
driven by
maintenance events

• OEMs, DoD, and
Commercial MROs
– with global service depots
– with large-scale supply chains
• Unfortunately the
scheduling and assignment
of technicians and the
management of parts are
handled independently of
each other
WHEN SHOULD HVM BE USED?
Typically the most frequent source of
work stoppages and missed target
completions relates to parts availability

• Optimization of inventory
across a network requires
the network to be
considered as a whole
• It must also be clearly
thought out to avoid parts
chasing demand
HOW IS HVM APPLIED?
The network must be fluid and
dynamic allowing material to flow to
where it is most likely to be used

KEY SUCCESS METRICS
• Increased asset availability
• Improved maintenance schedule adherence
• Increased technician productivity
• Reduced maintenance turnaround times
• Reduced parts expedites / emergency orders
• Reduced cost per maintenance event

• HVM has great value
• HVM is achievable
• A key enabler is the integration of
the three fundamental schedules
– Fleet
– Maintenance
– Materials
• One integrated process requires one
integrated solution
• An advanced Service Parts Management
forecasting tool is a must
