Viewing consumption and range parameters for a part

This page allows you to view the consumption and range parameters that have been defined for the part. Tell me more.

Select the “View Consumption & Range Parameters” link at the bottom of the “View Maintenance Info. For Part” or the “Select Part” page.

The “View Consumption & Range Parameters” page appears.

The system displays the following fields in the “Part Details” group box:

Part #

The part for which you wish to view the consumption and range parameters.

Part Description

The textual description of the selected part.

Zoom facility available.

The system displays the following fields in the multiline:

Parameter	The parameter associated to the part.
UOM	The unit of measurement of the parameter.
Parameter Type	The type of the parameter, which can be “Consumption” or “Range”.
Life Parameter	The system displays “Yes” if the consumption parameter has been identified as the life parameter. The life parameter is a consumption parameter that indicates the life of the part.
Parameter Source	The source from which the parameter must be updated. The source can be any one of the following:
	Flight Log - indicates that the parameter value has to be updated from the flight log.
	Manual - indicates that the parameter value has to be updated manually.
	Parent - indicates that the parameter value has to be updated from the parameter source defined for the parent part.
	Calculated - indicates that the parameter value is updated based on the formula associated to the parameter. This formula depicts the mathematical relationship of the parameter with the participating parameters. When one or all the participating parameters are updated, the formula based parameter will be automatically updated.
Range: From	The number identifying the minimum value in the range of values for a range parameter.
Range:To	The number identifying the maximum value in the range of values for a range parameter.
Average Daily Utilization	The average daily utilization for a consumption parameter, based on which the forecast factor is calculated.
Forecast Factor	The multiplication factor, based on which the maintenance activity is forecasted for consumption parameter.
Ultimate Life Value	The value identifying the life of the part, if the consumption parameter has been identified as a life parameter.
Formula #	The formula specified for the consumption parameter based on which the parameter value is calculated.
Formula Content	The contents of the formula.
Parameter Description	The textual description of the parameter.
Warranty Tracking	Indicates, whether the warranty tracking for the parameter is “Applicable” or “Not Applicable”.
Parameter Update	Indicates, whether parameter update is “Mandatory” or “Non-Mandatory” each time when the parameter is updated for the component.
Update Mode	Indicates, the mode on which the parameter value has to be updated. The system lists the following option:
	Delta – indicates that the new parameter value is added with the existing parameter value.
	New – indicates that the parameter value is overwritten by the new parameter value.

Viewing consumption and range parameters for a part – An overview

Parameter details such as the parameter number, description, unit of measurement, parameter type and the source from which the parameter is updated are displayed. For range parameters the system displays the starting and the ending range values. If the parameter is a consumption parameter, the system indicates whether the parameter has been chosen as the life parameter or not. It also displays the average daily utilization, forecast factor or the formula ID that has been defined for the consumption parameter. If a formula is defined for the parameter, the formula content is displayed. Also the system displays whether the warranty tracking is applicable for the parameter, whether the updation of parameter value is mandatory when the parameter is updated for the component and the mode in which the parameter is to be updated.
