Method and system for dynamic management of part reliability data
A system for recording and analyzing reliability data during a dynamically-planned maintenance check includes means for obtaining and logging warranty-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of any routine or non-routine tasks that may exist, and which pertain to rotable parts; means for obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of any non-routine tasks that may exist; means for identifying for each non-routine task, a routine task whose performance resulted in the generation of the non-routine task; means for obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of any identified routine tasks that may exist; and means for analyzing and reporting the warranty-based reliability data and the maintenance program-based reliability data.
1. In a system for dynamically planning a maintenance check of a member of a fleet, a method for recording and analyzing reliability data for the member, the method comprising:
obtaining and logging warranty-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of routine and non-routine maintenance tasks, and which pertain to rotable parts of the member;
obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of non-routine maintenance tasks;
identifying for each non-routine maintenance task, a routine maintenance task whose performance resulted in the generation of the non-routine maintenance task;
obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of the identified routine maintenance tasks; and
analyzing and reporting the warranty-based reliability data and the maintenance program-based reliability data.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the warranty-based reliability data is reported for use in generating warranty reports for the rotable parts of the member.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the method is operated over a communication medium operably connected to a plurality of input/output devices each having means for inputting and outputting information.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein the communication medium is the digital communication network.
5. A system for recording and analyzing reliability data during a dynamically-planned maintenance check, the system comprising:
means for obtaining and logging warranty-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of routine and non-routine maintenance tasks, and which pertain to rotable parts;
means for obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of non-routine maintenance tasks;
means for identifying for each non-routine maintenance task, a routine maintenance task whose performance resulted in the generation of the non-routine maintenance task;
means for obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of the identified routine maintenance tasks; and
means for analyzing and reporting the warranty-based reliability data and the maintenance program-based reliability data.
6. The system of claim 5 wherein the warranty-based reliability data is reported for use in generating warranty reports for the rotable parts.
7. The system of claim 5 wherein the system is implemented over a communication medium operably connected to a plurality of input/output devices each having means for inputting and outputting information.
8. The system of claim 7 wherein the communication medium is the digital communication network.
