Engineering - E/C

The Engineering module is used to manage Engineering Controls (E/Cs) and Task Cards for aircraft, as well as individual components. This includes reporting on Aircraft AD/SB status and compliance history.

Engineering requirements can be loaded both manually and electronically into the system. The system allows the user to track ADs, SBs and modifications for aircraft and their components, including revision control and multiple schedules. Task Cards with work requirements can also be created in this module, as well be scheduled alongside routine aircraft work. Manufacturers' electronic documentation can be loaded, viewed and printed online (for example, AMM pages for inclusion with work packages).

Information from the Engineering module is used in many other areas of the system. The Planning module is very much dependant on information from the Engineering Controls. Reports and queries can easily be produced to interrogate the Engineering information stored in the system. Reports regarding compliance and cost are readily available for the Aviation Authorities and management. Information from Engineering is fed through to the Production system, for calculating ground times for inspections and creating work packs for aircraft.

Engineering T/C

The Engineering module is used to manage Task Cards Task Cards (or Work/Job Instruction Cards) are used to enter all the information required to carry out work on a component or aircraft as well as individual components. This includes reporting on Aircraft AD/SB status and compliance history.

Additional information that is linked to the Task Card provides benefits such as pre-loading part lists, effectivity, documentation requirements (maintenance manuals and other documents), work zones, panels needing removal and the individual steps required to carry out the task by trade. Digital Documentation can be printed along with the task cards.

Manpower requirements are entered into the Task Cards and this information is then used by the Production system and the Planning module to forecast capacity and to allow reservation of labor workforce against work to be carried out.

Task Card authoring allows for the integrated use of AMM or other digital documentation within the Task Card itself (e.g. tasks can be created solely of AMM references which are updated automatically in line with the AMM revision process).
