Engineering Management WorkSpace
Invoking Engineering WorkSpace
Upon successful login to the Ramco Aviation home page, use the drop-down list box on the top of the screen to select WorkSpace. A list of WorkSpaces appears at the top left of the screen. See Figure 1.
Figure 1: The Application launch page
Select Engineering Management in the Application launch page. See Figure 2.
Figure 2: The Engineering Management WorkSpace page
The WorkSpace comprises of concise sections that facilitate the process by putting forth the right information in your view including:
1. Search
2. Engineering Doc. List
3. Engineering Doc. Preview
4. Engineering Doc. Details
5. Quick Links and Graphs
Search section
Though the WorkSpace at the very onset displays results of a default search, this section provides additional search to find documents that you wish to work with. To find specific engineering documents, you can use Summary or Search tabs in this section.
Summary tab
The Search tab is the default and active tab on launch of the WorkSpace. In the tab, the Aircraft radio button remains checked and the tab displays the status-wise breakup of documents in the system.
Click the Summary tab. See Figure 3.
Figure 3: The Summary tab with default data retrieval
Select the radio button of the maintenance object for which you want to retrieve MCR or EO documents.
The result buckets displays critical data on the current engineering document scenario pertaining to aircraft, engines or parts as your selection might be. Search results are displayed as illustrated in the below table.
Status Bucket |
Data display |
MCR Docs. Not Processed |
Count of MCR for which Eng. Doc. has not yet been created |
Eng. Docs. Not Released |
Count of Eng. Doc. in the ‘Fresh’ status. |
Eng. Docs. Released |
Count of Eng. Docs in the ‘Released’ status. |
On Hold Docs |
Count of MCRs with PCR in the Execution Status as ‘Hold + Count of Eng. Docs having a minimum of one of the Effectivity records with ‘Applicable’ set as Hold |
Eng. Docs. Future Dated |
Count of Eng. Docs with the From Effectivity date later than the current date. |
Yet to be Embodied |
Count of Eng. Docs with Effectivity not yet embodied. |
Example: Effectivity is defined for a fleet of A320 with tail # ranging from 1 to 10. However, the company has only tail # 1-5 at the time of creating the engineering document. At a later point of time the company may procure 6-10 tail #. So the effectivity in this scenario will be set as “Yet to be embodied” till such time as the tail # 6-10nactually are inducted into fleet.
On click of any bucket the records are displayed in the Engineering Doc. List multiline.

Figure 13: The Processing Time tab
i. Processing Time graphs displays the average processing time of MCR in a month.
Assumption: Here, processing of MCR includes release of related engineering documents. If MCRs are not available, Eng. Docs. are considered for graph plotting. Time taken for processing is accounted in the month of the Eng. Doc. release. For an MCR, if multiple Eng. Docs. exist, the very first release of Eng. Doc. is assumed to change MCR status to ‘Processed’. Any revision of Eng. Doc. is not be accounted for graph plotting.
