Maintenix terms

Why does Maintenix use use terms that are not industry standard?  Two examples come immediately to mind:  The term “record oil uptake”  should be “record oil service” and  using the term “inventory” when ATA codes are the industry standard.Granted both are minor issues but it illustrates a point.  That point is there seeming no consulting the people that actually use Maintenix.  The people that use Maintenix in high stress environments such as turning aircraft under time constraints.

MTX, clear workscope button can be click without confirmation

When you prepare the Workpacke and it is commited, you can scheduel the WP, however the the CLEAR WORKSCOPE button located beside allows you to clear the workscope, this without without warning.It is possible to have a confirmation windows when you missclick on the “CLEAR WORKSCOPE” button instead of Schedule Workscope to avoid clearing the workscope.This can have a big impact on the already agreed workcope.

MTX, System do not prevent to COMMIT a WP with a FORECAST TASK

When preparing Workpackage upfront the WP may contains Task in FORECAST status. The system does allow you to COMMIT a WP with this TASK FORECAST without  a warning.By process we know that WP with TASK FORECAST shouldn’t be commit.Do you have a warning or a message alert to trigger to warn the user to NOT COMMIT the WP because it contains a FORECAST Tasks?

Price Type Field Modification

The Repair Order Price Type field needs to retain the type selected by the Component Repair Analyst and not change to “Confirmed” when the order is received.  Once the CRA validates the service with the vendor that matches the price paid these should remain on the order and not automatically be changed by the system.  The field currently changes to confirmed on receipt. Need to validate the Price Type field is a text field Need to expand the Price Type field to include all services: Test, Inspect, Calibration, Minor Repair, Std Repair, Major Repair, Overhaul, Modification, RAI

Access to Maintenix for 3rd party

Can someone please inform us how they are providing access to their Maintenix system to third parties i.e. MRO / Line stations ? Do you use citrix, vpn, or some other technology, or are your servers on the internet? We are trying to plan our configuration and are looking to find out how others have theirs configured.

Service Condition - Order Information Retention

On a repair order, the service condition should not change to the current condition of the unit.  Today, a unit will be received back from a vendor in SVC condition.  At this point the order should lock the condition as it’s the condition we received the unit from the vendor and is also the condition for our price. Our current system will change these order conditions to whatever the current condition is of the unit.  For example, the below Closed order shows the service condition as installed on an aircraft.  When it’s removed this condition will change again to unserviceable. We need to get this condition locked to the condition of the unit at time of receipt and not to keep changing with the current condition of the unit.

Can't move aircraft from one hangar bay to another bay with multiple In-Work package

HiMaintenix allow user to move Workpackage (WP) from one TRACK to another when there is only one WP with status IN-WORK. But if there are more then one WP with status IN-WORK then the system doesn’t allow it, why not ?This happen quite often for us when C-check is coming to an end that the aircraft is moved between Hangar (track) slots.

On-wing Component Tasks with Calendar Limits going overdue on Shelf

Hi,Would like to get ideas on how Maintenix users in Organisations handle inventory with calendar based on-wing tasks that go overdue whilst on shelf.I believe this would affect any organisation using Maintenix for components with/without a supply solution. When inventory has an overdue task, a Maintenix job changes the status REPREQ. The supply department would suspect the inventory requires repair, (in our business requires back-office review for each part to consider) The inventory cannot be issued or electronically fitted by the maintenance repair organisation without this back office support to clear or overrun the task. The maintenance repair organisation maybe now subject extra work without notification, this is depending on how your business handles overdue tasks. In our business we need to have the units RFI. Therefore back-office support is always required.Explored options such as;Baseline Create on Install, suits a limited range of tasks due to complaince.DANI - Do at next i

How are other operators managing kits that have alternate part numbers?

At Southwest we have hundreds of examples where we have an in-house built kits as alternates to OEM kits, however the functionality in Maintenix does not allow for alternate kit part numbers.  Curious if other users have dealt with this and if so, how are they managing this?

Hi all,An impact assessment has taken place on the IFS Maintenix tech stack to determine required mitigation actions to secure your on prem systems. Please note only versions 8.3 and 8.3-SP1 are affected by this issue. We will be releasing software updates on all supported streams to upgrade log4j2 to version 2.15.0.2021-12-14 Update: We anticipate software updates to be delivered by Friday 2021-12-17.2021-12-14 Update: Updates will upgrade to Apache’s log4j 2.16.0.2121-12-17 Update: Apache has released a new CVE-2021-45046 to indicate that the below recommended mitigation techniques are not sufficient to contain all possible vectors. The new recommendation is to install log4j 2.16.0 which completely removes the ability to perform a JndiLookup, there is an alternate mitigation technique to manually remove the class file from the jar if an upgrade to 2.16.0 is not possible. Please refer to Apache’s security article on this topic.  ALL >= 8.3 IFS MAINTENIX INSTALLATIONS: The alternate

IFS 10 nie uruchamia się.

Dzień dobry.Jak w tytule.Klikam w Enterprise Explorer…   i nic się nie dzieje. Także bezpośrednio odpalana “Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.application” nie działa.Stało się tak się tak po zawieszeniu komputera w trakcie pracy IFS i zimnym restarcie . Do momentu zawieszenia wszystko było OK. Może trzeba coś wykasować albo w rejestrze coś się “zatrzasnęło”? Bo o ile wiem to instalki w tej wersji niema?Pozdrawiam;Leonard
