As the material base of integrated logistic support (ILS), scientific prediction and reasonable configuration of spare parts can effectively ensure the safe and economic operation of civil aircraft. To achieve all-win results for stakeholders (manufacturers, operators, repairers, etc.), this paper conducts a comprehensive investigation on the prediction and configuration management technologies for civil aircraft spare parts, and discusses its development trend in future. Firstly, the research status for the prediction technologies of civil aircraft spare parts is introduced. Secondly, the research status for the configuration management methods is explored of civil aircraft spare parts. Finally, the development trend of civil aircraft spare parts prediction and configuration management technology is studied based on the advantages and disadvantages of the existing methods. The aim of this paper is to provide a reference for the comprehensive management of domestic civil aircraft spare parts, and to support the improvement and perfection of the maintenance support system of civil aircraft.
