Define Inspections on Modification

Explanation

This activity is used to define initial and continued inspections that should be performed prior to terminating the modification.

Initial and continued inspections are performed as recurring inspections until the terminating action is performed. The initial inspections are normally used to determine if the continued inspections or terminating action of a modification is required or not. The continued inspections are normally used when the initial inspection revealed condition that requires more/less frequent inspections. Each step of the inspection is possible to define with one or more operational parameters and/or calendar interval. Terminating actions are defined by an operational parameter value, a calendar interval or as the next visit in workshop/next interval maintenance. When an inspection has been executed with remarks, it is possible to proceed to the next step of the inspection or to force the terminating action on the serial. You are required to indicate the next step to which to proceed when reporting the inspection, locally in IFS/Fleet and Asset Management or on the work order. It will be possible to define two steps per part, with an implicit third step:

An inspection for a modification might proceed as follows:

To define inspections, go to the Define Modification/Execution tab and enter required information:

The description of what should be inspected and how is done by connecting task cards to the inspections. If the IFS/Complex Assembly MRO solution is used, the description of the work to be done is defined by use of repair codes in manufacturing.
