Performing Disposition Shop Order—Exercises

Basic Data Setup

Required Data

Create and Release Order Structure

Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to create and release an MRO interim order structure to be used in the main exercises below. You must create a VIM serial structure for the specific aircraft engine to be overhauled. Release of the interim order structure causes a series of orders to be created including the disposition orders used in the exercises below. Once created, this serial and order structure can be used for a series of Work Scope Execution exercises. 

Prerequisites: Creating CAMRO Interim Order Structures, Handling Serials on Shop Orders, Performing Disassembly Shop Order

Windows:
CAMRO Interim Order Structure

Note: This exercise continues processing the work scope work order, order structure and shop orders created in the prerequisite exercise.

1. Verify that you have created and released an order structure. Record the interim header ID, work order number as shown in the table below.
2. If your order structure is not already released, then release it now.  Go to the CAMRO Interim Order Structure window and query your interim header ID.  Right-click anywhere in the header and release the entire order structure.  This runs a background job to release the MRO shop orders.  If you are not familiar with how to do this, see the exercises for Handling CAMRO Interim Order Structures.
3. Throughout the disposition exercise, you will need to refer to the serial structure created in VIM for this specific engine. You can view this serial structure in the Serial Structure Info/Multilevel window for your top level part's serial.  For reference purposes, you can print and record the entire serial structure of the part using the tables created for this purpose in the General exercise for Overview of MRO Manufacturing Data. Alternatively, you can query your top level serial part in the Serial Structure Information window then click on the Multilevel tab.  Right-click anywhere in the table window, point to Table, and then click Print Contents to create a report of the entire serial structure. 

Main Exercise

Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to inspect and disposition the disassembled products from MRO disassembly shop orders.

Disposition Shop Order - Complex Assembly Repair
CAMRO Interim Order Structure

Your customer has sent a turbine aircraft engine for overhaul and repair according to your service agreement. The work scope for this specific engine has been decided and released to the shop for disassembly. The disassembly has occurred. You are now ready to inspect the components exposed and determine the disposition for each part. You must now process the disposition orders to determine modifications necessary, find and report discrepancies, and determine if repair, scrap, or replacement is necessary.

Note: The order structure for this engine includes several levels of orders. Be aware the items received on the earlier disassembly orders are dispositioned in this exercise. The results of this exercise are used in further Work Scope Execution exercises for repair and assembly.

Receiving Disposition Products for Reuse

You are inspecting parts disassembled from your customer's engine. The part you are currently assessing is in good condition and ready for re-installation without any further work. You want to receive this item into inventory and assign it for use in the engine's subsequent assembly order.

The disassembly product to be used in this disposition exercise. For reference, you may wish to record the lot number you received at disassembly in the table below.

1. Open the CAMRO Interim Order Structure window and query for the interim demand ID for this exercise.  Locate the disposition order for the above part in the Disassembly tab of the Tree Structure tab.  With that order node highlighted, click on the Supply Orders tab in the right hand pane to view pegged supply shop orders for this item.  You should see a shop order number listed there.
2. Highlight the shop order supply record then right-click and click Shop Order to navigate to the Disposition Shop Order - Complex Assembly Repair window.

Disposition of a Position Part

You are inspecting the accessory parts removed from the customer's engine. These parts were too dirty to allow the floor worker performing the disassembly to clearly identify the parts, so they were received from the disassembly as position parts. This means that rather than simply verifying part identity during disposition, you are responsible for actually identifying the parts and any tracking data.
