Reporting preliminary inspection findings in a CWO – An overview

Report Inspection Findings - A summary of the activity

After the creation of the component work order, the defective component or piece part is taken to the shop for maintenance work. Before carrying out the maintenance work, the parts need to be inspected in the shops. The inspection is performed to confirm the discrepancies observed on the component and also to detect any other defect on the component. The inspector carries out the inspection and reports observations as the inspection findings. This page allows you to report these inspection findings made on the defective component.

You can enter the details of the discrepancies observed on the component. You can create a new discrepancy by specifying the discrepancy description, action, tracking status, remedial action, the person who reported the discrepancy, the person who inspected the discrepancy, turn around time and time unit. The system generates the discrepancy number on updation.

You can also use the help facility given in the respective multilines to associate already existing discrepancies or maintenance reports of the same component to the component work order.

If the component work order is raised for discrepancy or maintenance report, then you can update the discrepancy details in the “Discrepancy Processing” business component from this page. You can also add pending discrepancies or maintenance reports of the same component to the component work order in the respective multilines.

You may encounter problems while recommending solutions to the defects observed on the faulty component. In such a case, you can raise an Engineering Service Request (ESR). The ESR is raised to seek clarification on the problem encountered. The engineering cell releases an Engineering Advice Note (EAN) in response to the ESR, suggesting guidelines and suitable course of action. This page allows you to raise an ESR when the solution to the discrepancy observed on the component is not available. If any ESR is raised on a similar discrepancy or maintenance report earlier, and an EAN is available, you can specify the EAN number in this page.

Report inspection findings details

The defective components or piece parts undergo inspection before the actual maintenance work execution. You can enter the inspection details in this page. You can also add “pending” discrepancies or maintenance reports from “Discrepancy Processing” business component, which are reported only against the parts whose part type is component and generate new discrepancy by entering details in this page.

Associate EAN to ESR

You can associate an engineering advice note against the engineering service request raised in the “Create ES Request” page.
