Hi All,

 

Looking for data model ideas that other operators are using for the Advanced Part Search Feature.

When an AMT is assigning Part Requirements to a task, they are likely working from approved data (Non-routine Activity)

The OEM data materials generally only specify specifications.

 

How does an operator model their consumable Materials so that the AMT can add them to task by simple adding the specification number only.

 

Qantas has been only a recent adopter of the advanced part search but found this to be a limitation as the search only looks at part name and part number.

 

Our Data model in current sees the OEM Spec as the Part Group code.

    Hello 

    Within AF/KL a MPN OEM corresponding to one or several Specs called in the documentation are listed in the PG as a MPN also.

    This allows the AMT to identify one or several PG calling the Specs (usually different volume or qty) 

    According to the A/C the routine Task call the Spec in relation with the A/C 

    a Boeing JIC will call a specific MPN BMS3-33

    an Airbus JIC will call a CML 03GBC1

    ...

    This to communicate with 3rd Party MROs

     

    Best Regards

     

    Example of a PG 

    03HBC1    D4296 (Airbus Industrie Support Div.)
    03HBD9    FAPE3 (AIRBUS S.A.S.)

    At Southwest, we set up the spec as an MPN (non-procurable, nonrepairable, REFNC manufacturer) and place it in the same part group as the real parts (NA applicability)
