Engineering Control

The Engineering Control (E/C) option allows users to configure the controls and requirements associated with aircraft and parts within the system. Additional controls are used along with the basic E/C configuration, which are described later.

E/Cs are effective either to aircraft or components (parts). Airworthiness Directive (AD) and Service Bulletin (SB) status can be tracked for aircraft by using E/Cs. Component related P/N E/Cs can be tracked as well, with the additional capability to specify hard time limitations. These items can then appear in Planning Control for scheduling.

Task Card requirements can be linked to the E/C. The Task Cards are then added to the Work Orders (along with the E/C) in the Production module or via the Planning Control application.

When the Task Cards are completed under the Work Order, this then allows the E/C status to be updated (when the Work Order is closed). Compliance records are also written.

The critical items for the control of the E/C are the schedule and the effectivity. There are numerous combinations of ways to configure E/Cs and relative information. Please consider additional support regarding this matter if necessary.

The E/Cs may require authorization. One step authorization or complex authorization processes may be set up. Please refer to the E/C Authorization section for additional information.

The following tabs and buttons are available:

Records can be created/opened from the Engineering Control Selection.
