Using the Maintenance Planning Workbench Overview

The Maintenance Planning workbench supports short to mid-term maintenance planning to improve the scheduling and accomplishment of maintenance requirements for unit configurations for aircraft, but also for engines and APUs for both line and base maintenance. This workbench enables users to search for requirements that are due through the UMP search capability. Users can then identify opportunities in which to schedule the maintenance to existing or new visits, while taking flight schedules, organizational scheduling and fleet downtime into consideration.

Key Business Processes

Use the Maintenance Planning Workbench to:

• View open UE rows, as well as those that are planned for execution in a VWP visit.

• Manage UE rows using additional information to make planning decisions.

• Plan and associate open UEs to current and future visits.

• Manage active visit exceptions and reschedule UEs to other visits.

• Manage maintenance requirements associated with UEs.

• View maintenance accomplishment history that was planned and executed using cMRO as a secondary flow.

• Export or Print the results for analysis and compliance reporting purposes.

Using the Maintenance Planning Workbench

Use the Maintenance Planning Workbench to view and update UEs. You can select one or more UEs and make adjustments. When you are finished making edits, click Apply.

1. Navigate to the Maintenance Planning Workbench (Planning > Planning Workbench > Maintenance Planning).

   The Maintenance Planning - Search Plan page appears.

   

2. Select a value in the Time Zone drop-down field if you want to display the due dates in a different time zone.

   Selecting a different time zone will adjust the results for the UMP, and may push or pull due dates based on your server time zone. This value can be used to show the due dates in the time zone where you want the work to be accomplished. This will help to avoid planning the work into a visit that is scheduled after the MRs are due.

3. Select values in any of the following fields in the Simple Search region to narrow your search:

   • Unit Name: Enter a value or click the button next to the field to select multiple units; use % on the Select Unit page to retrieve all values.

   • Fleet

   • Model

   • Title (maintenance requirement)

   • Program Type

   • Service Location

   • Status: Open is the default value. Click the button next to the field to select multiple statuses; use % on the Select status page to retrieve all values.

   • Non Routine Type: Click the button next to the field to select multiple non-routine MRs; use % in the Select Non Routine Type page to retrieve all values.

   • Non Routine Number

   • Program Subtype

   • Category

   • Priority (optional): Select from the list of user defined values. The lookup values are defined in the AHL_MPW_PRIORITY lookup.

   • Due From

   • Due To: Enter a numerical value that represents the number of days into the future that you want to search. The default value is controlled by the profile option, AHL: Number of days for Due To date on Maintenance Planning WB.

   • Due Within and UOM: Select values for these fields that enable you to search the UE rows based on a UOM remaining value (Ea, UCY, UHR). You can use these fields rather than a date range. The UOM values are defined in the AHL_MPW_UOM profile option.

4. Click Advanced Search to refine your search, and enter values for any of the following fields:

   • Position

   • Log Series and Log Number

   • MEL Category and Reference

   • Product Classification Node

   • Task Item Number

   • Document Number (Document Index Number such as an AD or SB)

   • Service Category

   • Visit Number

   • Visit Organization

   • Visit Department

   • Route Process

   • Show Only Overdues: Includes UMP rows in which the due date is less than (prior to) the system date

   • Show Only Deferrals: Includes UMP rows with deferrals

   • Show Only Requirements Without Due Dates: Includes UMP rows with a blank (null) due date

   • Show Only Visit Exceptions: Includes UMP rows in which the UE is associated with a visit that has an Exception status

5. Click Go, and the results appear on the page.

6. Click a row to view and update the UE.

7. Click the Apply button to save your edits.

Viewing Material Requirement Details and History

1. Select a row for a UE, and click one of the following from the Select Requirement action menu:

   • Calculate Due Date: System calculates the due date for the MR.

   • Maintenance Deferral/Concession

   • Material Requirement Details
