Compliance Tracking & Control – An overview

Maintenance execution centers at multiple locations are required for the maintenance of large aircraft fleet. Centralized capacity planning helps optimize the available facilities with minimal aircraft grounding frequency.

The Compliance Tracking & Control organization acts as a conduit between one or more maintenance planning cells and the maintenance execution centers. Centralized capacity planning involves the processing of the maintenance arising forecasted (by the respective maintenance planning cells). Based on such arisings, the Compliance Tracking & Control cell  optimizes the load across the execution centers taking into account the capability and capacity of the execution centers. The planner decides when to ground the aircraft based on the compliance dates of the maintenance requirements. The work content for the visit is also firmed up. Upcoming out-of-schedule tasks may also be combined along with a scheduled check so as to minimize the frequency of maintenance-related aircraft grounding. The firmed up visit package is assigned to an execution facility for further planning and execution.

In the event of resource constraints leading to an inability to schedule the maintenance activity before the prescribed compliance date, deferment of the maintenance activity is recommended with appropriate reasons. The maintenance activity is moved into the “deferral list” on approval of the recommendation. Activities maybe deferred on a time-limited basis, usage-limited basis or indefinitely.

Note: The deferral list for all scheduled jobs are maintained by the respective (aircraft & component) maintenance program components.

The planner can also create as well as update discrepancies that are associated with an aircraft or a component. Any valid action can be performed on discrepancies towards resolving them.
