This course gives the students an understanding of how to carry out maintenance planning on serialized parts/structures. The course will take you through the process of defining maintenance instructions and defining plans for interval maintenance, condition based maintenance and modifications. The student will also learn how to define fault deferral rules and stress ratings and life limits. In addition, the attendees of this course will be introduced to the predefined queries and history data which is generated and retained in IFS/Vehicle Information Management.
The estimated time to complete this course is 15 hours.
This course was designed primarily for maintenance managers and staff who are responsible for maintenance program planning and instructions to be used for maintenance. Operative maintenance personnel also need to look at maintenance programs and instructions on how to execute the maintenance.
This chapter gives you an understanding of how to define maintenance instructions and specify the need of competences, tools and facilities and spare parts to complete the work. You will also learn how to break down the instruction into more detailed levels referred to as subtasks, and how to sequence the subtasks within an instruction.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, you should have completed a basic navigation course in IFS Applications.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 3 hours.
This chapter was designed primarily for maintenance, managers, configuration managers and quality managers being responsible for the definition, updating and quality of maintenance instructions.
This chapter takes you through a variety of comprehensive maintenance planning functions.
The Interval Maintenance - Key lesson explains the different options on how to define periodic maintenance based on calendar, operational parameters or combinations of these. Detailed setup of maintenance program, interval recurring rules and interval tolerance is also included in this lesson.
In the Condition Monitoring - Key lesson you will learn how to define condition limits on a part revision. Warning limits and danger limits are specified as triggers for maintenance actions during vehicle operation.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, you should have completed a basic navigation course in IFS Applications and the Instructions and Subtasks chapter.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 5 hours.
This chapter was designed primarily for product line managers and engineers with responsibility to define preventive maintenance routines for serialized vehicles.
This chapter gives you an introduction to the fault deferral rules which can be used to defer non-critical faults.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, you should have completed a basic navigation course in IFS Applications.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 0.5 hours.
This chapter was designed primarily for product line managers and engineers with responsibility to define preventive maintenance routines for serialized vehicles.
This chapter is where you will define life limited parts as serial parts and understand its usage in template structures. You will also learn how to define stress ratings and enter life limits.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, you should have completed a basic navigation course in IFS Applications and the Manage Master Configuration course.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 1 hours.
This chapter was designed primarily for product line managers and engineers with responsibility to define preventive maintenance routines for serialized vehicles.
This chapter will give you a comprehensive introduction how to define and plan modifications. The actual modification can be supplemented with initial and continued inspections and post-checks in order to optimize when to modify a serial and to apply quality checks after a modification in order to improve operational safety and availability.
In the Modifications - Key lesson you will learn how to define a new modification, assign parts/part revisions, connect already defined instruction, define a terminating action and a post-check.
In the Modifications - Extended lesson you will learn how to create a new revision of a modification program, define initial and continued inspections, define structure impacts introduced by the modification and create a Documentation-type modification. You will also create several modifications with referenced modifications.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, you should have completed the Instructions and Subtasks chapter.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 5 hours.
This chapter was designed primarily for product line managers and engineers with responsibility to maintain and modify the product configuration of serialized parts during the part's life cycle. Maintenance personnel executing jobs may find the predefined queries and the history retained in IFS/VIM to be of great value and help when executing daily work.
This chapter presents the different types of historical information relevant to the Manage Maintenance Program process that is generated and retained in IFS/VIM.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, you should have completed the previous chapters.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 0.5 hours.
This chapter was designed primarily for product line managers and engineers with responsibility to maintain and modify the product configuration of serialized parts during the part's life cycle.
