Analyze Historical Data

Explanation

This activity is used to view historical records, analyze them statistically and make references and/or decisions for a particular vehicle or serial part. Here, you can analyze the entries in order to assist you for the registration of new records or as an improvement for existing data.

Historical data will be recorded when the related prerequisites are fulfilled. To view historical information for a serial, open the History per Serial page and click on the relevant tab or you can open the dedicated history pages directly as well.

The purpose of collecting historic data is to be able to document the maintenance that has been performed on a serial part, and use this in order to improve the live data in IFS Cloud. For example, the Task Cards for Serial Order History page (accessed from the Serial Order History page) contains the actual performed task cards, with reported time and consumed material for all performed maintenance. This data can be used in order to improve the contents of task card in the task library. This may result in removing resources and material that are no longer used, adding new task cards, resources or material or adjusting the content of the task card. Some examples of how this data can be analyzed:

Analyze whether a certain resource group spend more time to do the work than originally planned.
Analyze whether a planned tool is used as often as expected.
Analyze additional material that have been used for the work, and whether the material should be part of the planning data. Adding material to the task library means that it will be possible to reserve or peg material as early as the planning stage of the maintenance order.

Another way of using the historical data might be to analyze faults that have been repaired on a serial and by means of this be able to know how to repair similar faults.

If there is a need to change the operational parameter values for a completed maintenance event/work order, this can be done from the Serial Order History/Operational Parameter tab (this tab is also available from the detail pages per event, e.g., Interval Maintenance History). The value given will be the last historical values closest to the date the event was performed. To change values, click Change Operational Values for the relevant record. Enter the new values you want in the Value After Overhaul and Value Total fields. Note: The new values entered here are required to be greater than or equal to the previous log value for the serials and smaller than or equal to the next log value of the serial.

It is also possible to remove obsolete history entries for operational planning history by clicking Remove History from the Operational Planning History List page.

Prerequisites

Changes must have been performed on an active serial structure template before historical data (journal) can be viewed.
To view replacement history, a component must first be connected, disconnected or replaced in a serial structure.
A serial number must be changed for a serial part before identification history can be viewed.
A serial transportation route must have been completed to view information on serial route history.
To view vehicle condition history the vehicle condition of a vehicle must have been changed.
Condition monitoring must have been performed on a serial part before condition limit history can be viewed.
A modification must have been performed on a serial part to view modification history.
An interval based maintenance must have been performed on a serial part before interval maintenance history can be viewed.
A fault on a serial part must have been repaired to view fault history.
To view entries in the Additional Fault Information window, additional fault information must have been registered on non-serialized parts.
To view non routine history, there must exist non routine faults that were reported on the work order/work order operation that is included in a work package for a maintenance visit. These non routine faults must have been repaired.
A maintenance event must have been performed on a serial part. The information here will be recorded as generic history and has specific entries for each event type.
To view maintenance event cancellation history a running event or the corresponding work order must have been canceled.
Operational log entries must have been performed on a serial part before operational logging history can be viewed.
An operational event must have been removed from a vehicle to view the operational planning history.
To view historical maintenance order information, a maintenance order with connected events must have been completed.
To view information on performed maintenance, time must have been reported for the personnel, material must have been issued, and sign off completed.
To view historical flight log information, the closed or voided flight log must have been moved to history.
To view historical post maintenance check information, the post maintenance check event must have been completed.
