Inventory Operations Hub – A summary of the activity

Aircrafts are strategically positioned in several Field Bases to provide better and cost effective services to end customers who are around the base. Though major maintenance of the Aircraft happens in Main Base, Field Base is responsible for day to day maintenance of the aircraft to keep it airworthy. Unlike Main Base, Field Bases have very few staffs. In most cases, it will be one person who will be managing it.

The responsibility of a Field Base Personnel does not limit to Aircraft maintenance, but, extends to managing the warehouse as well (i.e.) Request, Issue, Receive, Ship parts etc. It is evident that a Field Base Personnel needs to do several activities on a day to day basis and have them recorded in the organization’s ERP system. Though, physically all the required activities are done, recording the same in the ERP system becomes cumbersome, because, it is required to visit different processes, activities and screens for entering the data. Mechanic frequently gets lost while working in the system because of complex navigation, lack of clarity on the next step etc.

Business need is to provide a dashboard to manage Inventory Operations, which would enlist the activities pending for action, in the Inventory stand point, (i.e.) Requests, Issues, Receipts, etc. that needs to be processed and in the Maintenance Stand point, (i.e.) Alerts on parts that are due for Maintenance, Shelf Life Expiry and Tool Calibration. In order to address the above need by providing a wide variety of the Inventory Transactions like Material Requests, Issues, Returns, Receipts and Transfers into a single, dashboard view based on identified roles, Inventory Operations Hub has been developed.
