Maintenance Program Management
Maintenance Program Management is the Aviation Maintenance business process used to define, revise, lock,
approve, activate, and apply Asset Maintenance Programs in ICAM. A maintenance program is a
collection of requirement and reference document definitions for a particular
aircraft or assembly (for example an engine or APU) and operator context. Programs are version-controlled (BUILD /
REVISION / ACTV) and, when activated, trigger baseline synchronization to initialize tasks for applicable fleet
inventory.
Purpose
Use Maintenance Program Management to create program details, assign requirements (5.34) and reference
documents/AD-SB (5.35), evaluate impact, lock and approve changes, activate the program, and apply it to the fleet.
Job instruction cards (5.36) are packaged through requirements; blocks (5.39) package requirements separately from
program membership.
Scope in the process model
Process 5.33 Maintenance Program Management includes the following sub-processes:
- 5.33.1 Create New or Revise Existing Maintenance Program - create/maintain program details
and lifecycle actions (assign/unassign, lock, activate, print/view reports, issue numbers, revert, delete).
- 5.33.2 Assign Maintenance Requirements to Maintenance Program - assign maintenance
requirements to the program.
- 5.33.3 Evaluate Impact of Maintenance Program Revision - evaluate impact of a program
revision.
- 5.33.4 Send AMP for Approval and Lock Changes - lock changes and approve or reject.
- 5.33.5 Apply Maintenance Program to Fleet - apply the activated maintenance program to the
fleet (primarily via baseline sync).
Key concepts
- Only REQ and REF class definitions are assigned to maintenance programs; a requirement is typically in only
one program.
- Lock / Approve / Activate / Apply to Fleet follow the same transversal lifecycle pattern as
Requirements (5.34) and Blocks (5.39).
- Locking freezes assigned definition revisions for approval; activate preferably while locked.
- Activation creates a new REVISION-status program for continued change; temporary requirement revisions can
address urgent changes on an active program.
