Create Facilities – A summary of the activity

This activity allows you to define facilities for carrying out maintenance activities on an aircraft. Facilities are unique identifiers of equipment or any other items required by the maintenance personnel to execute maintenance activities on an aircraft. Facility can be of type “Equipment”, “Tools” or “Others”. “Equipment” is an identifiable unit of the machinery that aids in the performance of maintenance tasks on an aircraft and its components. Some examples are lathe, shaper and landing gear bottlejack. “Tools” are those items that are similar to torque gauge and hydraulic test rigs. Items, such as hangars, that cannot be grouped as “Equipment” or “Tools” can be classified as “Others”.

You can enter a unique number for the facility and provide a description for it. If the facility type is “Tools”, then ensure that the facility number has already been defined in the ”Create Parts Main Information” activity of the “Part Administration” business component. The system assigns the "Active" status as soon as the facility number is created and sets the created date and time to the server date and time.
