Placing an Item In-Work

O V E R V I E W

Assigning an in-work status to an item is one of the most frequently used functions. DRILS provides several methods within the software in order to accomplish this task. An item may be assigned an in-work status from within one of the following functions described in this Technician Guide:

1. Induct Items into Shop Screen (see previous function description “Induct a Repairable Item into DRILS” step 5)

2. My Units List of Your Home Screen

3. Units in Shop Screen

4. Results From The Search For Function

5. Serial Number History Report

Method 1 of 4 – Place an Item In-Work from the Home Page

You may assign an in-work status to a serial numbered item from your home page by drilling down to the detailed Units In Shop list for a specific part number.

1. Click on the item’s Part Number you want to place in-work. You will be taken to the detailed Units In Shop List for that part number.

Figure 3 - Home Page, My Units List Section

2. Click on the item’s Serial Number you want to place in-work (see Figure 4).

3. A confirmation box will be displayed to confirm that you want to place the item in-work or to take over that item from someone else who has it in work. (see Figures 11 and 12 for examples of these screens).

Figure 4 - Units In-Shop List

Method 2 of 4 – Place an Item In-Work from Units in Shop

DRILS provides the capability to assign an in-work status to an item from the Units In Shop list by drilling down to the Detailed Units In Shop list for a specific part number.

1. Click the Units In-Shop button on the DRILS main menu.

2. Find the part number of the item you want to place in-work.

3. Click the Nomenclature of the appropriate part within the Units In-Shop list. You will be taken to the detailed Units In Shop List for that part number.

Figure 5 - Units In-Shop Screen

The resulting screen displayed next will allow you to select the serial number to place in work the same as previously described in Method 1 of 4 of this section. Please see Figure 4 to view examples of the results.

Method 3 of 4 – Place an Item In-Work from Search Results

DRILS provides the capability within its main menu area to locate repairable items within the shop by serial number, Document Number, or Job Control Number (JCN).

1. The Search for drop down list determines how DRILS will search the database. The default is to search for a serial number. Select the appropriate data type for your search.

2. Enter the appropriate data in the text box for the type you selected in step one. The figure 6 below illustrates searching for an item by serial number.

Note: DRILS provides the capability to use a wildcard to search for repairable items. The ‘%’ character is the wildcard and it may be applied in the following ways:

• 07187% - finds all starting with '07187'

• %C19% - finds all that contain 'C19'

• %C1915 - finds all ending with 'C1915'

Figure 6 - Search For Function Available From The DRILS Main Menu

3. Click the Go button or press the Enter key on your keyboard to initiate the search.

DRILS will search the database for all matches and display the results. This could take several seconds depending on the search criteria.

The search results are displayed on a page that is broken into two sections; (1) Matching Units Not Sold, and (2) Matching Units Sold. Any matches currently in the shop and not completed will be displayed in the Matching Units Not Sold section. Any matching units that are completed will be displayed in the Matching Units Sold section.

Note: Depending on the search criteria that you entered, DRILS may find one or more matches, particularly in the Matching Units Sold section where each time the matched item(s) were completed will be displayed.

Only matching items in the Matching Units Not Sold section may have their status changed to in-work. Matches displayed in the Matching Units Sold section may only be viewed.

4. Locate the appropriate match in the Matching Units Not Sold section and click the Serial Number.

5. A verification box will pop up to verify you want to place that item in-work or to take over that item from someone else that has it in work (see Figures 11 and 12).

Figure 7 - Search Results Screen

Method 4 of 4 – Place an Item In-Work from the Serial Number History Report

The Serial Number History Report provides a means to retrieve history on one or more serial numbered items using search criteria you define in the Quick Find form of the report.

1. To view the Serial Number History report, click on Reports from the DRILS main menu, place the cursor over Fighter Wing Reports to open the next level of the menu, and then click on Serial Number History.

2. To find an item to be placed in work enter the serial number (the ‘%’ wildcard character is permitted) into the Serial No field. Multiple fields can be filled in along with the serial number in order to make the search result more specific.

Figure 8 - Serial Number History

3. Click the Find Part button or press the Enter key on your keyboard to initiate the search.

DRILS will use your search criteria to search the database and return a list of matching items.

Based on your search criteria, DRILS will display zero (0) or more matches in the search results section of the screen.

4. Click on the item’s Serial Number you want to place in-work. DRILS will display the serial number history of the selected item.

Figure 9 - Serial Number History

The serial number history report lists a summary of all inductions recorded in DRILS ranked in reverse chronological order. If an item is currently in the shop, its current status is displayed and the Work Item button is visible to authorized users who may change the status of the item to in-work.

5. Click on the Work Item button to place the item in-work.

6. A verification box will pop up to verify you want to place that item in-work or to take over that item from someone else who has it in work (see Figures 11 and 12).

Figure 10 - Serial Number History Report Summary

R E S U L T

You will be prompted to verify that you want to place that serial number in-work (see Figure

Click the OK button to proceed. Click the Cancel button to abort changing the status of the item.

Figure 11 - Place In Work Confirmation Figure 12 - Take Over In Work Confirmation

When you have confirmed that you wish to place an item in-work, DRILS will change the status of the item to in-work under your user name. You will be returned to your home page where the in-work item will be displayed in the Units You Have In Work section (see Figure 13).

Note: DRILS allows the user to have multiple items in-work at the same time.

Each in-work item will appear in the Units You Have In-Work section of your home page.

R E S U L T ( C O N T . )

Once you have one or more items in-work, you may begin documenting maintenance immediately or log out while you perform maintenance. DRILS will keep the items in-work even while you are logged out, until you explicitly change the status or DRILS automatically changes the status to awaiting maintenance (AWM) at a predetermined time of day (i.e. at the end of the shift).

When you are ready to document maintenance performed, click on the appropriate Serial Number in the Serial No column of the Units You Have In Work section of your home page.

You will be taken to the Maintenance Menu screen.

Document Other Maintenance and Adjust a Part

A C C E S S T H E O T H E R M A I N T E N A N C E S C E E N

You should already have an item in-work and be at the maintenance menu for the item you wish to document maintenance against. The Other Maintenance and Adjust a Part function identically. The “Other Maintenance” and “Adjust Part” screens display the documented maintenance actions the same way as the Remove/Install a Part screen. All documented actions are displayed in the “Currently Documented Maintenance Actions” Block and you can choose to edit any of them by clicking on the Edit button. The steps below illustrate how to document other maintenance.

1. Click the Other Maintenance button. The Other Maintenance screen (see Figure

18) will be displayed.

Select the Description from the dropdown list describing the maintenance action performed. To add a new description of an Other Maintenance or Adjustment, select Add New Description from the Description drop-down list (shown in Figure 18). Enter the description of the maintenance action in the blank New Description text box and click the Save button. Refer to “THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN MAKING NEW ENTRIES” on page 23 for help with creating a new Other Maintenance or Adjust action description.

2. Click the Save button to complete the maintenance action. To discard the data entered on the screen without saving, click the Cancel button.

Figure 18 – Other Maintenance Screen

T H I N G S T O R E M E M B E R W H E N M A K I N G N E W E N T R I E S :

Begin the entry with the “action” (Repair, Clean, Tighten, Resolder, etc) then identify the component or item on which the “action” was performed. For Example: Resolder U21, Straighten bent case lid, Tighten screws, Repair broken wires. You can enter words like “broken” or “bent” etc. to more clearly identify the action. The rule is keep it short – example “Straighten bent pin on P1 connector” should be entered simply as “Straighten P1 pin” (it wouldn’t need straightening if it wasn’t bent and we already know P1 is a connector). Also, these are not sentences so they do not need periods at the end!!

Examples: Resolder U21; Straighten bent Case Lid; Tighten screws; Repair wires;

Hardwire J1-23 to U2-16; Tighten IFF Knob.

Avoid redundant entries such as “Clean P1 connector” This is redundant because we already know P1 is a connector because of its Reference Symbol. This would simply be “Clean P1”.

For Adjustments other than reseating a card, all that is needed is the Reference Symbol (R12, C3, R88, etc.) Card reseating is an Adjustment as defined by T.O. 00-20-2 and is entered as Reseat A1, Reseat A2, etc.
