Boeing painting operations

• New aircraft assigned to hangars for

painting based on expert knowledge and

heuristic scheduling

• Painting can occur in house or be

outsourced

2

Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering

Research questions

• Does Boeing have sufficient painting capacity to

meet future demand?

• What is the future demand for airplanes?

• What is the optimal schedule for painting aircraft

to minimize costs given demand?

• How does uncertainty (in painting times, future

demand) impact the optimal schedule and

decision about capacity?

3

Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering

Optimal schedule to minimize cost

• Time frame: 1 month increments (20 years total)

• Minimize cost

• Cost of painting airplanes in house

• Cost of outsourcing airplanes to be painted

• Cost of being late

• Decision variables: assign each plane to a

hangar for painting at each time (assignment

problem)

4

Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering

Constraints

• 5 different models of planes; each model has a

different painting time

• Hangars can only paint certain models of planes

• Setup times can vary with hangar

• Job cannot be assigned until plane is released

for painting

• Per-day tardiness penalty for planes that are

finished late

• All jobs must be assigned to a hangar

• Each hangar can only paint one plane at a time

5

Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering

Input data• Monthly demand data from demand forecasting

model

• 22 hangars: 12 in house and 10 outsource

• Cost as a function of painting time

• $6,000 per day (material and labor)

• $50,000 daily penalty cost for being late

Key conclusions

• Planes can be painted in house for years 0-2

• Delays start occurring in year 5

• Capacity exceeded in year 6

• Significant delays beginning in year 7

Due to demand uncertainty, capacity could be

exceeded much earlier or later!
