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 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
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.
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?
