Tracking MEL/Inop Seats

Southwest Airlines will soon be assigning seats, so the need to track inop seats at the actual seat number will be critical. Currently, we track seats for each row, not at the individual seat number. When we have a fault or an MEL, the seat in question is notated in the fault description, but we have no means of being able to select the actual seat. How do other operators, that assign seats, track inop seats in Maintenix? Are your seats currently tracked to the individual seats?

Issue with Installing Jasper Studio 9.0.0 for custom reports

With the upgrade to Maintenix 8.3 SP10, we need to upgrade JasperReports Server to version 9.0.0, this is fine, we’ve already installed it on our Dev box. We have a lot of custom reports and we have used Jasper Studio in the past to develop and publish reports. Unfortunately, it looks like Jasper Studio 9.0.0 now needs an internet connection to log into the Jaspersoft community before we can use it. Our Dev box (and all our servers) are not allowed to be on the internet due to ITAR constraints, we also aren’t allowed to install software on our local machines due to our company security policy. We have a lot of security restrictions that make this process difficult.We’re talking to our Infrastructure team to try and find a solution and are wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and how they have solved it.

Removing batched stock that is not issued to an aircraft

As everyone knows, doing anything ADHOC in Maintenix creates multiple “behind the scenes” issues that cause massive data base clean up to have to take place. However, the question arises: how do you remove batched inventory from the system when it is not used on an actual aircraft? An example of this is when a bowser is serviced, oil and filters are used to maintain the bowser. These items would not be issued to an aircraft, as they are not used on an aircraft. This leaves the airline with two choices: a) do an ADHOC issue or b) adjust out the stock. As mentioned above, if an ADHOC issue is performed, this can often times create an ADHOC request that never closes. It is not obviously seen, so you typically find it when a station keeps receiving stock from the main supplier location for an item they already have plenty of stock on. If the Stock Adjustment is the preferred method, for ATI, we only have just a certain few individuals that have the ability to adjust out stock, as we

Unicode characters in Job Card Steps

Hi All,Qantas currently has an open issue with IFS for Job Card Steps with “special” characters causing HTML formatting on the Task Card report to fail. This can also cause job card steps to appear to have been edited when using show differences however it is not apparent to the task writer what has been changed.It looks like it is caused by some character encoding conversion when a task is revised. This is only an issue since we moved to 8.3SP5, possibly related to the data type change of the step_ldesc to CLOB. Generally this is caused when content is copied from an MS office application that has tried to be helpful and replace a " with a “. When the task is revised, this character is replaced with a space and an ascii DC3 character(0x19). Its these control characters that cause the Jasper reports to stop trying to apply the formatting correctly.We’re interested to learn if other operators, especially those with languages that use characters not in the latin-1 character set, hav

Tool Kits

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 contained in a tool kit, but this is not idea

How are users utilizing the "Ship or Shelf" process in Maintenix?

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.
