Define Inspections on Modification

Explanation

This activity is used to define initial and continued inspections prior to executing the modification. An inspection can have the following definition.

An inspection for a modification might proceed as follows:

initial and continued inspections are performed as recurring inspections until termination (defined by an operational parameter value or a calendar interval). Or the inspection is performed with remarks, leading to the next step of the inspection. Each step of the inspection is possible to define with one or more operational parameters along with one calendar interval. When an inspection has been executed with remarks, it is possible to proceed to the next step, or to make the modification effective on the serial. Proceeding to the next step or making the modification effective on the serial requires that the user indicates how to proceed when reporting the inspection, locally in IFS/Vehicle Information Management or on the work order. It will be possible to define two steps per part, with an implicit third step:

Procedure

To define initial and continued inspections:

  1. Query the modification revision you want to register inspections for in the Modification Details window.
  2. Click the Execution/Initial Inspections or Execution/Continued Inspections tab.
  3. If you enter Operational Parameter, the fields Inspection Interval and Inspection Interval Limit become required fields. Values for the Calendar Interval, Calendar Unit, Calendar Limit, and Calendar Unit Limit fields cannot then be entered.
  4. If the inspection is to take place based on calendar time (instead of or in addition to operational use), you must enter a Calendar Interval. If a value is entered in the Calendar Interval field, Calendar Unit and Calendar Limit become required fields. The fields Operational Parameter, Inspection Interval, and Inspection Interval Limit cannot then be entered.
  5. Click Save.
