Change Maintenance Program and/or Maintenance Group for Structure

Explanation

This activity is used to change the maintenance program and/or the maintenance group for all serials in a structure. 

Prerequisites

• A maintenance program that is valid for the part number, revision and maintenance group of the serial must have been defined. This maintenance program must be in the Active status.
• You need to have access to the serial and maintenance program you want to work with.
• The maintenance group must exist for all serialized part numbers in the structure before any changes are made. For more information, refer to the activity Define Maintenance Group.

System Effects

• As a result of this activity, all serialized parts in the structure are connected to the selected maintenance program and/or maintenance group.
• The due calculation for interval maintenance will run automatically for the serial to calculate due dates and values.

Procedure

Follow this procedure to change the maintenance program and/or maintenance group for a serial structure by using the Change Maintenance Program On Serial assistant:

1. Open any one of the following windows or tabs depending on your work flow:

• Serial Structure Information
• Serial Structure Information/Consist Of
• Serial Structure Information/Multilevel
• Serial Structures
• Serials
• Vehicles
• Define Maintenance Program/Affected Serials.

2. Populate (F2) or query (F3) for the necessary serial structure.
3. Right-click anywhere in the header and then click Change Maintenance Program. The Change Maintenance Program On Serial assistant opens.
4. To change the maintenance program, click List in the New Maint. Prog field and select the new maintenance program revision.
5. To change the maintenance group, click List in the New Maint Group field and select the new maintenance group.
6. Select the Change maintenance program for all serials in structure check box if you want to update all serials in the structure with the new maintenance program.
7. Select the Change maintenance group for all serials in the structure check box if you want to update all serials in the structure with the new maintenance group.
8. Click Next.
9. In the Serials in structure lacking maintenance programs assistant step you can enter maintenance program information for the serials in the selected structure.
10. Select one of the query options to filter the serials for which you wish to update maintenance program information. The table will list serials based on the query selection.
11. Select one of the spread options to enter or extend the maintenance program information to the listed serials.
12. If you have chosen to extend the maintenance program and maintenance group to all listed serials, ensure the following information is entered correctly:

• In the New Maint Prog field, enter the new maintenance program that is to be extended to the listed serials. Click List to select a valid value.
• If the maintenance group is to be updated, enter the new maintenance group in the New Maint Group field. Click List to select a valid value.

13. Click Spread to extend the information to the listed serials. Make adjustments if necessary, and then click Save. Click Spread and Save if you want to extend and save the information immediately.
14. If you have chosen to enter the maintenance program and maintenance group directly in the table, enter the new maintenance program and maintenance group in the New Maint Prog field and New Maint Group fields found in the table. Click Save to save the information.
15. If you have chosen to extend the maintenance program information that was entered manually, use one of the options listed in step 13 to save the information, i.e., Spread, Save, and Spread and Save.
16. Click Next (for serials in either the In Operation or Out Of Operation statuses) or click Finish.
17. In the Update values for interval maintenance on given serial assistant step you can enter or change the start values for the interval maintenance of a serial(s) in the structure. This is useful for instance when the intervals for the maintenance code on the old maintenance plan are different to the intervals on the new maintenance plan and it is necessary to adjust the interval maintenance values accordingly. The upper table displays the interval maintenance for the primary operational parameters while the lower table displays all secondary operational parameters corresponding to the primary operational parameters.
18. In the Value at Maintenance field, enter or change the total operational value for the part and serial number for which you want to change interval maintenance values. Note: The following conditions apply:

• If the value in this field does not match the maintenance interval in the maintenance plan the system displays a message.
• The value in this field cannot exceed the value after overhaul for the maintenance triggering operational parameters unless the maintenance code has the calculation rule set to Special Case. In this case the value cannot exceed the value total of the serial.
• When a value is entered in this field, values for the Maint Date and Correction Value fields are suggested automatically if the value in the lowest interval for the maintenance code exceeds either the value total (when the calculation rule is set to Special Case) or the value after overhaul (Inspection, Overhaul and Replacement).

19. In the Value Total field, enter the total operational value of the serial at the date of maintenance.
20. Click Save to save your changes.
21. Click Finish to close the assistant.
