PLANNING MODULE

The PLANNING MODULE predicts when all maintenance

tasks, modifications and defect limitations will become due,

allowing planners to easily integrate these into works

orders and can then automatically generate the work

package documentation and material pre-loads.

MAINTENANCE TASKS

Each individual task that is required by the maintenance

plan is tracked in the OASES system. The type of task can

be defined along with labour time and numbers required,

trade, multi-stage thresholds and intervals. All relationships

between this and other tasks can be easily defined,

including accomplishment, activation, calling, cancellation,

do not perform with and previously accomplished by

which allows management of spin-off tasks. Task intervals

may be hours, cycles, days or date based. In addition the

user may define a non-ship based life against a component

or component location e.g. engine thrust cycles. The

system also allows different fleets to have separate life

control restrictions i.e. fleet A controlsAPU by hours, fleet

B bycycles,or either can be controlled by more than one

life type.

MANUFACTURER JOB INSTRUCTIONS

Any manufacturer job instructions of an appropriate

format and their revisions may be automatically

imported and associated with the task. When the

task is called to a works order the system

automatically attaches and prints the job instructions

with the work card and references the attachment in

the narrative. Other automatic attachments can

include any local documentation or other information

which may be associated with a user-definable

workcard property. These are easily referenced to

the central task record and can be printed and/or

referenced in the task narrative automatically.

MATERIAL PRE-LOADS

The final works order is automatically interrogated

and all material requirements held against each task

are collated to produce reports, emails or automatic

routing to the relevant department according to each

case. OASES understands the work order locationand can intelligently manage each material

requisition according to authorisation levels,

warehouse preferences and stock availability.

PLANNING SYSTEM

The OASES PLANNING

MODULE predicts when all

maintenances task are due

and produces all workpack

documentation required for

these tasks

MAINTENANCE TASKS

The system tracks each

maintenance task and can

manage multiple effectivities,

and multiple thresholds,

stages and sample intervals

MANUFACTURER JOB

INSTRUCTIONS

Manufacturers job instruction

documentation can be

automatically linked to task

cards allowing them to be

printed as part of a package

DOCUMENTATION

CONTROL

Any electronic document canbe attached to an OASES task

so that it can be printed as

part of a pack or referenced in

the system. In this way the

system makes it simple to

produce comprehensive

documentation to support

maintenance activities

PLANNING


6/14

ACCESS PANELS

All relevant access panels can also be derived

automatically for each task in the works order. Various

control methodologies are then available to manage

these.

AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE & SERVICE

BULLETIN TASKS

Any task which is generated by an airworthiness

directive or a service bulletin can be entered into and

tracked by the planning system. Inspections or

modifications which are required will be viewable in the

aircraft maintenance forecast and can then be included

in a works order.

WORKPACK PRODUCTION

Once a group of tasks or a package has been

generated and included in a works order the planner

can then produce a workpack which can be distributed

to the department or organisation carrying out the

maintenance either electronically as a PDF or printed

to hard copy and physically forwarded.

MAINTENANCE CHECK PACKAGES

Individual tasks can be packaged as required and the package will appear in the forecast according to the most restrictive

task contained within it. Yield management tools are provided to allow review of each package. A package appearing in the

forecast can be scheduled into a works order with a single click and/or expanded to view individual task details including

schedule reference, last done, time remaining etc. Other items can be added to the same works order if additional work is

required to be carried out at the same time.

7/14

The PRODUCTION MODULE tracks the progress of

tasks within any works order in real time as they are

worked through the hangar/MRO facility and reports

budget vs actual labour expended, defects raised, task

status and all materials issued or returned.

WORK CARD RECORDING

All work cards may be bar-coded providing a simple

and reliable method for work in progress data capture.

Employees may be identified using a variety of

techniques and allows operation of the system in the

hangar without the need of a keyboard. As each task,

workcard, operation or activity is performed, the

information is captured by scanning or by direct entry

into a tablet or PC. The information collected includes

job number, employee number, materials used, start

and finish times, etc enabling fast and efficient analysis

of the tasks progress.

MAINTENANCE FINDINGS

OASES defect control configuration options offer a

flexible approach for the management of defects as

they are discovered. All findings are tracked against

the originating inspection or task and the system

provides a full set of displays,reports and standardised

exports for managers to monitor progress.

LABOUR TRACKING

All labour expended or committed is collated by

OASES and provides a real-time view of the current

status of the works order. The system supports

separation of inspection and labour hour estimates and

compares the budgeted position with the actual current

position. Managers can easily assimilate the impact of

defects and other disruptions to the plan and can take

remedial action at the earliest possible point in time.

PRODUCTION SYSTEM

The OASES PRODUCTION

MODULE monitors all

activities in the hangar in real-

time allowing identification of

problems at the earliestopportunity.

TASK STATUS

CLASSIFICATION

Multiple status classifications

can be set-up to allow detailed

analysis to be carried out on

tasks in real-time and to

determine the progress of the

work

WORK CARD RECORDING

Bar-coded work cards can be

used as a simple and reliable

method of tracking progress of

individual cards

MAINTENANCE FINDINGS

Any maintenance findings can

be entered into the system

and are then tracked against

the originating card. Materials

and labour expended against

these findings are also tracked

and reported against the

originating card/work order

MATERIAL TRACKING

All issues to and returns from

a works order are tracked and

reported. The system can be

set up to prompt for the

speedy return of off-cores

allowing repair and return to

service in the shortest time

possible.

PRODUCTION


8/14

TASK STATUS CLASSIFICATIONS

Users can easily setup multiple codes enabling

detailed analysis and tracking of individual tasks within

a works order. The works order closure function

understands these codes and is able to automatically

determine the completion status date and time for each

task.

MATERIAL TRACKING

All issues to and returns from the works order are

tracked and reported. The system monitors the

current works order status and prevents issues to the

works order after the planned closure date. The system

also monitors rotable issues to a works order and can

be configured to prompt for the return of the off-core.

EXPERIENCE LOG

All mechanic times can be reported for both base

maintenance tasks and defect rectification activities

and can be reported as an individuals experience log.

In addition, employee experience can be reported

using definable defect stage status codes

MULTIPLE TASK TRACKING

Once the pdf work package has been printed at

either the hangar, MRO or line station, employees

can log on to each task individually or against

multiple tasks if more efficient. The management

reporting systems annotate each task in the real-

time displays to show multiple allocations and totaltime is apportioned pro-rata according to the

estimated labour/inspection times against each task.

MANAGEMENT MONITORING

Timely, accurate information is key to the effective

management of the works orderand OASES

provides fullvisibility of all open, suspended and

closed tasks. Employee booking histories allow

analysis and identification of best practice and assist

in identifying training needs.

Together, these facilities provide high visibility to

managers of changes to the plan, defects raised and

their implications and any events likely to prevent

planned return to service. Defects become visible at

the earliest possible stage allowing early

management intervention and mitigation of costs

and service disruption events.


EXPERIENCE LOGS

All tasks and defect stages

can be reported as an

experience log for any

employee

COST COLLECTION &

CONTROL

All costs associated with a

work pack are collected and

can be tracked in the system.

In addition all material issued

is also recorded and the

associated cost data

collected

MATERIAL MANAGEMENT

The MATERIAL MANAGEMENT MODULEis a

comprehensive inventory and materials control system that is fully

integrated with other OASES modules ensuring data consistency

throughout all departments and facilitates automation of key

processes to produce cost and efficiency savings across the

organisation.

This module ensures cost effective availability of the materials

required for the safe operation of the fleet whilst minimising the

investment needed to achieve this.

ORDER CONTROL

The system provides facilities for the management of purchase,

repair, loan and service exchange orders for aircraft parts and

services (and commercial orders for non-aircraft goods and

services). All the required forms including orders, serviceable tags

and release documentation are produced by the system and may

be automatically emailed, printed to PDF or to thermal transfer

printers as required.

Orders, stock and replenishment levels, batch and serial

number histories are automatically updated through

normal use of the system and invoice passing routines

provide flexibility, but ensure that payments are only

authorised where they comply with the business rules

defined by the user.

STOCK CONTROL

Stock levels are continuously monitored by the system

and all costs, component locations and histories are

maintained to support effective business decision making.

The system can report on all stock and material values

against specific works orders, stock groups, warehouses

etc. The system supports use of multiple currencies and

automatically applies conversions (against a customer

controlled currency database) to seamlessly manage

inventory bought or sold in a foreign currency.

MATERIAL MANAGEMENT

The OASES MATERIALS

MANAGEMENT MODULE

controls all material within the

organisation ensuring that it is

available when required but is

efficiently used and replenished

or repaired when required. All

stock is visible in the system at

all times allowing the most cost

effective use of stock at all

locations

ORDER CONTROL

Order control encompasses

purchasing, repair, loan and

service exchange for both

aircraft parts and non-aircraft

goods. When items are received

the accounts department is

advised and can authorise

payment or the system

automatically passes items for

payment based on the

organisations business rules

STOCK CONTROL

Full visibility and history is

available for all items in the

inventory. Stock levels can be

set and monitored so that re-

ordering is automatically notified

to purchasing

The system can handle multiple

warehouses and can include

alternate parts when considering

re-order levels

The systems show stock in each

location to allow efficient routing

of parts to meet requirements

MATERIALS


12/14

All movements are monitored by the system and may trigger

the production of re-ordering or stock transfer alert reports.

Management reports are produced with respect to shelf life

control, stocktaking, stock valuation and the financial analysis

of material usage.

SHORTAGE CONTROL

The system provides a fully integrated approach to the

management of inventory demands and material requirements

are tracked from initial creation by the end user or system

function (i.e. automatically from works order creation) through

each stage to completion and reconciliation with the financial

accounting system.

Automatic shortage management ensures that all outstanding

requirements are visible at all times. Any items that may have

been pre-allocated to a planned maintenance input are still

visible in the system. If a higher priority event occurs (AOG)they can be released to satisfy this demand and a new

shortage will be automatically generated. This re-shortage is

intelligentlyrouted to the appropriate section giving full details

of the current status of the new shortage to allow maximum

time possible to satisfy this new demand.

The system automatically tracks material requirements

associated with planned maintenance, modifications and

defects and provides traffic light status reports for each item

in a works order.

BATCH/SERIAL TRACEABILITY

The system maintains full batch and serial number

traceability and automatically updates these records astransactions occur. This provides a full audit trail enabling a

user with appropriate system permissions to trace the origin,

usage, repair history and current stock location of all items

known to the system.

LOAN CONTROL

The system automatically maintains a log of all parts (loaned

in or out) through the parts issued and received facilities. This

mechanism allows improved control over this easily

neglected and costly aspect of stores control.


SHORTAGE CONTROL

Every requirement for inventory

is tracked in the system to

ensure that the demands are

fulfilled in the most efficient

manner possible

Any shortage is alerted to staff

who, can either route spares

from a different company

warehouse or obtain an item

using the integrated purchasing

system to fulfill the requirement

A traffic light system highlights

the status of all items to allow

quick visual identification of the

current situation

BATCH / SERIAL

TRACEABILITY

A full audit trail of all batch and

serial numbers is held in the

system to allow full traceability.

Cost, repair and tear down

report data are also registered

against each part and assist in

identifying unreliable

components

LOAN CONTROL

Full control of parts loaned in or

out and the system is

maintained. The system also

understands multiple ownership

of parts, and can automatically

exchange ownership when

required

STOCK VALUATION

The system can report on stock

values against a large number

of variables to provide accurate

and timely reporting

COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT

The COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT MODULE

enables customers to control the commercial aspects of

their third party business. It provides full control of

labour and materials billing and gives visibility of these

to activities within the business

CONTRACT MODELLING

Contracts with third party organisations can be

modeled in detail so as to give the organisation

maximum flexibility in dealing with customers. A default

contract can be set up and this will be used by the

system unless it is over-ridden by a customer or aircraft

contract. Ad-hoc work can therefore be undertaken

against the default contract.

Discounts can be applied at either the contract or

customer level or applied on an ad-hoc basis if

required.

LABOUR CHARGES

Default labour rates can be set but they can be over-

ridden by a customer contract or for a particular aircraft

work package. Labour rates can be tiered to take account of

fixed prices for certain work and varied according to time of

day or for week-end / holiday periods. All charges can beover-

ridden if required andwhen authorised. Effective dates can be

set-up for labour charges to cover work over long term

contracts and time categories can be used to cover out of

hours work or off base support. Labour charges can be

rounded according to the companys policy in this area.

COMMERCIAL

MANAGEMENT

The OASES COMMERCIAL

MANAGEMENT MODULE

allows customers to track and

invoice for all labour and

materials associated with third

party work. It also provides the

capability to invoice against

complex customer models

which can be tailored to match

individual contracts or aircraft

packages

CONTRACT MODELLING

The module has the capability

to model complex contract

structures including multiple

labour rates mark-ups with the

possibility to set caps if

required.

Different material categories

can be subject to differing

mark-ups and this can be setdown to aircraft level

LABOUR CHARGES

Labour can be charged at

different rates according to a

number of factors. These can

include time of day, week-end

or week-end work and

holidays.

Rates can also be set for a

particular customer or aircraft

tail number

COMMERCIAL


14/14

MATERIAL

Material charges can be set for stock items or can be varied if

the material is associated with a particular contract. Mark-up

percentages can be varied according to the value of the

materials and can also be capped if required.

FREIGHT CHARGES

Freight charges can also be handled by the system. Default

minima and maxima can also be set.

SERVICE CHARGES

Service charges can be set-up with cost codes to cover

routine tasks such as cleaning and servicing of aircraft if

required, rather than be charged for at hourly rates .

WARRANTY & CHARGEABLE WORK

The system can differentiate between warranty and

chargeable work and manage these activities alongside each

other.


COMMERCIAL

SALES TAX / VAT PROCESSING

The system can be set up to work with different tax

regimes and has a full model for European VAT

calculations built into it.

CURRENCIES

Currencies can be set at the customer level and any

numbers of currencies are supported by the system

making it easy to handle cross border transactions.

AUDITING

All transactions and changes in the systems are recorded

in order to provide a full auditing capability.

REPORTING

The system has extensive reporting capabilities built in to

allow detailed analysis of the business to be carried out.

Examples of reporting include the following:

- Invoice value by customer and date range

- Invoice value by A/C type or registration

- Margin analysis

- Work in Progress (WIP)

- Accrued income

- Reconciliation of stock movements

- Accrued cost of sales

- Actual cost of sales

INVOICES / CREDIT NOTE PRODUCTION

Invoices are finalised and then issued and a record of the

invoice is then held in the system. Invoices can

subsequently be amended if required, but a copy of the

original is retained by the system. Credit notes can also be

issued by the system against a customers account.

MATERIAL HANDLING

The system allows materials to

be charged for in line with the

contract conditions. Differing

mark-ups can be applied as well

as caps and minimum and

maximum mark-up levels can

be set. Freight charges can also

be applied to materials

Materials for various contracts

can be treated differently as can

consigned stock

CURRENCIES

Multiple currencies can be

handled by the system and

conversion rates can be set by

the customer

INVOICING

Invoices are automatically

generated by the system based

on the contract model which has

been applied to the work

package, customer or aircraft

Any warranty work can be

accounted for and the system

can also issue credit notes if

required
