Industry : Aerospace & Defense Sub-Industry : MRO Line of Business : Engine MRO / Landing Gear / Component MROBusiness Background : Parts (E.g. Blade, Fan, Bushings) removed from large assembly (E.g. Engine, Landing Gear, APU) are subjected to cleaning and inspection process, post which the repair actions will be determined. This will be captured against the part by the Engineering / Team in the form of Component Job cards and Inspection forms. Detailed inspection procedures are carried out stringently by recording the measurements of applicable parameters [such as inner diameter, outer diameter, length, width, thickness..] and validated with standard values / limits that are prescribed the manufacturers in their maintenance manuals (embedded within work instructions). Mechanics, Technicians record the measurements of the parts subjected to inspection and validated with the standard limits an

Trying to figure out how work packages get auto generated in MXI 8.1.

Column data content is not always intuitive.Just noticed the Fleet due list tab header is also not sticky.

Hello everyone, Is there any way to open Tasks on Shop Floor Workbench against Shop Order Operations? So far I could only open tasks on the Shop Floor Workbench “header”, which means, no direct connection to the Shop Order Operation… Does anyone have any suggestion?  

Hello everyone, I was looking for a way to restrict Labor Classes with Work Centers. Does anyone have any ideia if this is possible to be done? Some page with setup for this to work? I am asking this because I need to restrict the Routing Operation when it comes to Work Centers and Labor Classes. Many Thanks

We are trying to identify which assets are in a kit for a Jasper Report. We wish to exclude inventory that is in a kit from the Total Stock Holding.Thanks for any advise.

Failure Category & Fault Priority Field, are BASELINE defined by Fault Definition and not modifiable on ACTUALSFault Type field, is BASELINE & ACTUAL modifiableCan IFS advise is a Parent / Child relation between Failure Category & Failure type exist ? How IFS would recommend tio uses those type of fields with Fault Definition?And finalys how to set up Fault Priority to have them reflecting a priority according to the Fault Definition? 

I just want to know what IETM stands for

Southwest Airlines is curious how other operators manage tracking of locked-out/tagged-out (LOTO) within Maintenix.  Specifically, do you have a method to track which circuit breakers have been locked out during a check, including who locked it out and for what task, or do you handle that externally?Sincerely,Shon Creese 

Southwest is currently working through demoting of parts.  We are wondering if any other carries have any feedback on demoting parts when any of following apply:Managing demotion of a part when in multiple part groups and/or TRK slots Updating open ROs after performing a part demotion  Active task definition  Open Borrow orders  

Hi allAnyone have any ideas on how to upload multiple data or line items in an instant invoice in IFS cloud?We have approximately 50–60 lines per invoice, and it takes too much time to post the same.  

We are implementing IFS Cloud in a CAMRO Customer.For Quality Control it was setup as Mandatory Manufacturing Control Plan for several parts. This requires setup for each Inventory Part and Routing Type a specific Control Plan.Should we have any way to identify which Inventory Part / Routing Type has a mandatory control plan?

Southwest Airlines is interested in understanding how other operators setup tool kits in Maintenix and provide visibility to batch tools that are included in these kits.  We set up Tool kits as assemblies since Maintenix does not have tool kitting capability, and an assembly approach was the best choice provided by IFS at the time.  Tool kits WILL show serialized tools as children of kits, however batched “TOOLS” i.e. sockets, extensions, etc. are NOT showing in kits because they are issued out of stock to be put into the kit.  Batched inventory is never shown as installed on assemblies.The issue we are having is that Technicians do not have visibility to inventory that is contained in these kits.  We often have to AOG parts, when in reality the inventory was in kits that were in stock.  Southwest Airlines is curious how other operators are managing this gap in functionality.  We are at creating an external database to track the batch parts containe

Hi,Can someone help me in Assigning the defined Operational Plan and Execution of it in MRO Fleet Management?

  Hello,How does a user edit / make adjustments to the “Layout Name” field below in the page “Airworthiness Regulation Codes per Form Type ?Some of the changes we need to make in the following part certificate 8130-3 printout include:- removing the extra comma (,)- changing the country from United States to other values- adding company logo for potential clients  

Hi All , I have created a tab with list in Prepare work order screen using custom entities . custom entity name -- > CePiecesUtil I have used standard projection(prepare Work order handling) of the work order page to connect the standard entity and custom entity .Active separate -- parent entity , CePiecesUtil -- > custom entity Association name is CUtilRef using page designer , added the list within a tab , and the list is displaying data . has connected it using a data source field set (CePiecesUtilSet)

Curious to get feedback from other Operators who are using the Flight Disruption functionality in Maintenix.  Southwest uses other sources and means to record and track delays and cancels but we are exploring doing this within Maintenix and I was interested in getting feedback from those currently using this functionality.Best Regards,Shon Creese 

Southwest had a ship-or-shelf (SOS) program where they examine the part (quarantine) then decide if the part needs to be shipped for repair.  Southwest would like the system to auto quarantine certain parts (and also have removal reason be one of the drivers for the automation). There is a ship-or-shelf checkmark available in Maintenix, but it is for information purposes only, doesn't have any logic built into it. Curious how/if other Operators have a ship-or-shelf (SOS) program and if so how are they managing that in Maintenix, if at all.    

Does IFS Cloud Support Smiles and special symbols?

In an old Maintenix Fundamentals Guide(8.1) there are a lot of references to SAS Use Case XXX, are those available somewhere on Your site? 

Dears,Greetings,My company Ethiopian airlines using Maintenix, later called IFS Maintenix, starting from 2011 GC.I would appreciate on hereinafter issue, how and why component usage data in particular mentioned at the title become negative, zero. Accordingly, the other positive figure also not real.kind regards;

SWA has noted that you cannot find BATCH part-number based tasks while using the Task Search function. We see that if a task has been completed that you should be able to find it via the Task Search. We were able to see the task completions while reviewing the parent Requirement and Inventory details history. Do any other operators have a better way to search for BATCH, P/N based requirement tasks?

Hi All,Wondering if there is a way we can hide the assigned tasks tab of a work package from specific user groups. Reason: we are seeing an organisational impact with maintenance exection teams attempting to justify deferring maintenance as they can see the remaining compliance limits. This control is not in their jurisdiction to interrogate.Wondering if other Airlines have seen/heard similar. Thanks,

HICan someone help me to fix this issue plz?Best regards

Increased use of FD get more frequent FD need to be removed.A FD cannot be obsoleted or deleted from the CS it was created.Today the FD are renamed starting by "OBSOLETED" which is not correct for end user in the GUI. Potential solution identified are :RSTAT2 the FD? Move the FD into an unused organisation? Any other solution?
