ePlanning

The ePlanning web application forecasts aircraft maintenance along with the associated resource, manpower, and cost requirements. Planners review the forecasted due dates then assign maintenance events to new or existing scheduled Work Orders. Essentially, maintenance events are threefold in nature:

1. Scheduled/Planned Maintenance events such as mandatory Engineering Controls (AD, Checks, SB, etc), P/N Controls (TSO, CSO, etc.) and Deferred Defects (M.E.L., Watch Items).
2. Optional Maintenance Events such as Engineering Modifications and company convenience items (fleet campaigns).
3. Unscheduled Maintenance (Open non-deferred defect reports, non-routine task cards).

From ePlanning, with easy access to the most vital information at their fingertips, planners can assign maintenance events quickly and easily.

Note: The Planning Control app replaces the ePlanning app as of eMRO Version 5.

Maintenance events can be assigned to Work Orders and resources/requirements can be reviewed through various options in ePlanning. Once logged on, ePlanning's Dashboard is displayed.

At the top of the window there are various tabs to choose from. Each provides different functionality and/or information.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Dashboard

The Dashboard tab opens by default and contains the day's most pressing information such as: the Fleet Status graph, the task Due List, and a list of Out of Service A/Cs. From the Due List, planners can assign an aircraft's due tasks (maintenance events) to new or existing Work Orders. (Refer to the Fleet Due List tab to plan for future tasks that are not yet due.)

Planning View

The Interactive Planner tab shows flights and Work Orders for each aircraft in an interactive calendar display. Existing W/Os can have their schedules altered or re-assigned to a different aircraft simply by dragging the W/O around in the calendar grid. The amount of information displayed can be changed on the fly. New W/Os can be created from here as well.

Capacity Block

The Capacity tab shows the scheduled capacity for each applicable Sites for the selected Location. Sites that are clear (and can be utilized) are flagged in green, while Sites that are occupied are flagged in red and list the scheduled Aircraft and Work Order. Each date of the selected month is displayed.

Capacity

The Capacity tab provides a graphical display of locations, sites and the planned W/Os over a set period of time. This tab is informational only.

Fleet Due List

The Due List tab lists all maintenance events that are coming due (as opposed to tasks that are already due/overdue in the Dashboard's Due List). Users can specify which aircraft, specific due date, and the maintenance events they want to see (Defects, E/Cs, P/N E/Cs, P/N Controls, and/or scheduled Work Orders). Maintenance events can be added to new or existing Work Orders.

Unscheduled Tasks

The Unscheduled Tasks tab displays tasks that have not been scheduled on a Work Order for each aircraft. These unscheduled maintenance events can be added to new or existing W/Os. Once added to a W/O, they will be removed from this tab's interactive calendar display.
