Initial Exercises—Creating CAMRO Interim Order Structures 1

Initial Exercises

Purpose: The purpose of these initial exercise is that the instructor will use them for demonstrating the basic functionality in Handling MRO Interim Order Structure which entails:

• Creating a serial structure in the VIM component, importing this template structure and setting it in operation.

• Establishing a MRO Shop Visit visit resulting in the creation of a work order, a dispatch order and a receive (purchase) order.

• Releasing and receiving the purchase order.

• Defining and releasing work scope resulting in the creation of the CAMRO interim order structure.

• Setting operational parameters on the life limited parts in the serial structure.

Creating Serial Structure Information in VIM

Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to introduce you to the basic functionality for creating serial structure information in the VIM component.

Prerequisites: If you are a student doing self-directed learning and want to complete the following initial exercise, you should first complete the ? exercise to define the necessary data in your site. In addition, for students doing self-directed learning, the ? exercise would be beneficial to complete before this initial exercise.

Serial Structure Template (Instructors only, use site 90).

Windows:
Serial Structure Information

Steps: To complete this exercise, perform the following steps.

1. Open the Serial Structure Information window.

2. Create a new record. Enter 11000 in the Part Number field. Use List of Values in the Revision field and select revision R01.

3. Enter a new serial number in the Serial Number field. Make sure to enter a serial number that does not exist.

4. Use the List of Values for the Manufacturer No, Manu Part No and Owner ID fields, selecting GE, 11000 and 000 respectively. In the table below, record the serial number for later reference.

Note: It is suggested users use a serial number that they can easily identify as their own creation in later queries, such as prefixing the serial number with their initials, or some other such method.

5. As in step 4, use the List of Values for the Maint Group, Workshop Code and Location Code fields, selecting values 1, 100 and 000 respectively.
6. Save the record.

7. Right-click in the header and then click Import Template Structure. When the Import Template Structure dialog box displays, select the Generate Serial Numbers check box.

8. Click OK.

9. Click OK again on the subsequent informational message box which indicates how many parts were inserted into the structure and how many serials were created.

10. Right-click in the Additional Serial Info/Life and Cost sub tab, and then click Set Current Stress Rating. When the Set Current Stress Rating dialog box displays, position the cursor in the Stress Rating ID field, invoke List of Values and select stress rating 1 (High Stress).

11. Click OK. Verify that the Stress Rating ID field now displays 1 for template part 11000.

12. Click the Multilevel tab. Highlight the row corresponding to part number 11000-1-1-01. Right-click, then click Next Level. Next, click on the Part Serial Catalog tab. Right-click in the Part Serial Catalog tab, then click Change Manufactured Date. When the Change Manufactured Date dialog box is displayed, enter today's date - 30 in the New Date field. Click OK.
