MAINTENANCE DETAILS

Once the TMI Maintenance Entry is in the TMI log, details may need to be added. Maintenance detail actions include: Install, Removal, Comply, Reset and Comply/Reset. The action may be Scheduled or Unscheduled. If Unscheduled, a problem must be selected. (Problems List can be found in Settings - Problems List).

If Manual or Line Level Rectification (LLR) is being used, then the Maintenance Details will be pre-populated based on the information provided during that process and may only require a QC review before posting.

Removal/Installation of a Part

Removal of a Part

Action, Reason, Problem

Click the Add New Detail button.
Select an Action, a Reason for the detail and, if UnScheduled, the Problem that prompted the action.
Click Next.

The maintenance entry detail example in Figure 1 shows an item that is Unscheduled for Removal due to Failure.

The Include in Removal Reporting flag is defaulted on for Unscheduled or Non-Planned Job Cards, but can be removed if not required. When on, this flag will allow the removal to be included in Removal Analysis.

Note: Scheduled Removals don’t require a Problem to be selected, as they are assumed to have been removed for Planned purposes.

Triggers

RAAS employs an automation feature called Triggers to aid tech record entry. Completion of a TMI action having an associated trigger causes a pop-up window to appear.

Message triggers show text reminders, like an electronic post-it note.
Action triggers automate the creation of one additional action based on the completion of the first action.
Cascading Non-Interactive Triggers are used in managing phased inspections.

If applicable, supply user credentials for those triggers requiring elevated permissions.
Click the applicable follow-up action in the lower pane labelled Available Serial Numbers.
Click the Add button.
Click the Next button to dismiss the pop-up window.
