What you can do in this activity

A Component Work Order (CWO) is a document that contains information about the maintenance work to be carried out on parts of part type "Component" as well as "Non-Components" in a shop. Components are removed for planned or unplanned maintenance work and sent to the work centers for necessary overhaul, inspection, repair or retirement. The component work order can be raised on a component under the following conditions:

After the component removal, the planner of the work center or the component maintenance planner creates the component work order. The various tasks that must be performed, the materials, resources and skill required for carrying out the maintenance job are specified in the component work order.

The component maintenance planner also creates the work scope, with pending work units from the forecast or directly added work units. From work scope, component work order is created with the identification of work centers. For part type of non-components, component work order is created from “Routing Un-serviceable Components / Parts” activity in “Component Maintenance Planning “ business component with the default piece part component number set in the “Set Options” activity of the same component.

Component work orders of different job types can be created such as “Component”, “Piece Part”, “Make”, “Receipt-Inspection”, “Facility”, “Project” and “Miscellaneous”. For job types other than “Component”, parts or components that are identified against each object type in the “Identify Non-Component Maintenance Objects” activity in the “Aircraft” business component, are selected and component work orders of corresponding job type are created.

Component Work Order Hierarchy

The execution of component work order may lead to the creation of sub-component work orders. For example, while performing overhaul on a component, if a sub-component is malfunctioning, then a new component work order can be raised against the sub-component. Such work orders can be termed as sub-component work orders or child work orders, and the original work order can be termed as the parent work order. Thus, the component work order relationship can form a hierarchy.

Component Work Order Execution

The component work order execution can be broadly classified into the following stages:

Component Work Order Status

The various statuses that a component work order attains are as follows:

Figure 1 depicts the various stages in component work order execution and the statuses of the CWO.

Identify the source document that triggered CWO

The issue of documents such as Work Scope, EO, FCD may trigger the creation of component work order.

Estimate part requirements

The details of the parts required for carrying out the component work order or for the tasks associated to the component work order can be entered.

Estimate resources required for CWO

The resources that are required for CWO execution or the CWO-task execution can be estimated.

Associate components to CWO

You can associate multiple components to component work order in this activity.

Schedule CWO or tasks of CWO

The component work order or individual tasks of the CWO can be scheduled.

View component maintenance parameters

The component life and maintenance is monitored by various parameters like "Since New", "Since Overhaul", "Since Repair", "Since Inspection", "Since Last Visit.", "Since Last Installation". You can view the details of the maintenance parameters. For more information regarding maintenance parameters Refer “Component Life and Maintenance Parameters” section under “Schedule Component Work Order – A summary of the activity”.
