Induct a Repairable Item into DRILS I N D U C T I N G A N I T E M I N T O D R I L S

1. Click the Induct Item button located on the DRILS main menu.

2. Ensure that the input cursor is inside the Scan or Type ITN text box.

3. Scan a barcoded, or type the, Inventory Tracking Number (ITN) on your Work Control Document with an appropriate barcode scanner.

Figure 1 – Induction Screen Scan or Type ITN

P O S S I B L E R E S U L T S

DRILS will attempt to find the ITN and will display one of three result screens:

1. ITN is Not Found in DRILS and a Matching ITN is Found in ITS.

2. ITN is Not Found in DRILS and a Matching ITN Cannot Be Found in ITS.

3. ITN is Found in DRILS and a Matching ITN is Found in ITS.

R E S U L T 1 O F 3 - I T N I S N O T P R E S E N T I N D R I L S

DRILS will determine if the ITN already exists. If it does not exist in DRILS and your shop uses the G337 Inventory Tracking System (ITS), DRILS will query the ITS database to see a matching ITN can be found. If found, the identification information will be imported from ITS into the DRILS induction screen for verification.

1. Verify the information imported from ITS.

The identification information imported from ITS only partially satisfies the data requirements for induction into DRILS. You will need to complete the rest of the fields using information from documentation attached to the repairable item such as an AFTO Form 350, NRTS (Green) Tag and a local Work Control Document.

2. Fill in the remaining fields as shown in Figure 3 with the requested information.

3. Click the Send to AWM button to assign an awaiting maintenance status to the item.

You will be returned to the Induct Items Into Shop screen to allow you to induct more items.

a. Or, Click the Place In Work button to assign an in work status using your user name. You will be returned to your home page to begin documenting maintenance or logout to perform maintenance.

b. Or, Click the Cancel Data Entry button to abort the induction process and return to your home page.

S T E P 2 O F 2 – U P D A T E D R I L S I N D U C T I O N I N F O R M A T I O N

DRILS compares its induction data to the ITS identification information and highlights any differences in the data. You must approve the update before DRILS will update its copy of the information.

1. Review the differences in identification information between DRILS and ITS that is displayed at the top of the screen.

2. You may automatically update the necessary DRILS fields by clicking the Update button. The ITS information will be copied to the appropriate form fields.

3. Click the Update 350 Info button to save the updates to DRILS. The updated information will be saved to the DRILS database and you will be returned to your home page.

Figure 4 - Update Induction Information Screen

R E S U L T 3 O F 3 – I T N N O T F O U N D

DRILS was unable to locate a matching ITN within its database and could not find a match in ITS either. When this occurs, you will have to complete all fields on the Induct Items Into Shop screen. This information can be found on the AFTO Form 350 and local work control documentation attached to the item.

1. Fill in the required fields with the requested information.

2. Click the Send to AWM button to assign an awaiting maintenance status to this item.

You will return to the Induct Items screen ready to record the next induction.

a. Or, Click the Place In Work button to assign an in work status to the item using your user name. You will be returned to your home page to begin documenting maintenance or logoff to perform maintenance.

b. Or, Click the Cancel Data Entry button to abort the induction process and return to your home page.

Assigning An In-Work Status To An Item 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

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 – Assigning A Status From The Home Page

S T E P 1 O F 1 - S E L E C T I N G A P A R T N U M B E R F A M I L Y

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 family.

1. Select the part number family whose serial number you wish to change the status of.

You will be taken to the detailed Units In Shop list for that part number.

Figure 6 - Home Page, My Units List Section

2. Find the desired serial number of the unit you want to place in-work and click the Serial Number text. See figure 8.

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 15 and 16 for examples of these screens.

Figure 7 - Units In-Shop List

Method 2 of 4 – Assigning A Status From Units in Shop

S T E P 1 O F 1 - S E L E C T A P A R T N U M B E R F A M I L Y

DRILS provides the capability to assign a 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 family in the list whose serial number you wish the assign the status to.

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.

Note: Your DRILS shop may be configured to display a National Stock Number (NSN) rather than the Nomenclature. Where this is true, click the appropriate NSN to drill down to the Detailed Units In Shop list.

Figure 8 - Units In-Shop Screen

The results are the same as previously described in Method 1 of 4 of this section. Please refer to this section to view examples of the results.

Method 3 of 4 – Assigning A Status From Search Results

S T E P 1 O F 2 – S E A R C H I N G F O R A R E P A I R A B L E I T E M

DRILS provides the capability within its main menu area to locate repairable items within the shop by serial number, Exchangeables Production System (EPS) Document Number, ITN, 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 below illustrates searching for an item by serial number.

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.

Note: DRILS provides the capability to use wildcard characters 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 9 - Search For Function Available From The DRILS Main Menu

S T E P 2 O F 2 – S E L E C T T H E A P P R O P R I A T E R E P A I R A B L E I T E M

The search results page is broken into two sections; (1) Matching Units Not Sold, and (2) Matching Units Sold. Any matches currently in the shop will be displayed in the Matching Units Not Sold section. Any matching units that are completed and no longer in the shop 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 text.

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 15 and 16.

Figure 10 - Search Results Screen

Method 4 of 4 – Assigning A Status From the Serial Number History Report

S T E P 1 O F 2 – V I E W T H E S E R I A L N U M B E R H I S T O R Y R E P O R T

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 and then click on Serial Number History. The Serial Number History page is broken into several report criteria.

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

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

Figure 11 - Serial Number History

S T E P 2 O F 2 – S E L E C T T H E A P P R O P R I A T E S E R I A L N U M B E R

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

3. Locate the desired item and click on the serial number of the item in the Serial No column. DRILS will display the serial number history of the selected item.

Figure 12 - 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.

4. To change the status of the item, click on the Work Item button.

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 who has it in work. See figures 15 and 16.

Figure 13 - 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 (Fig 15) or that you want to take over an in-work item from another technician (Fig 16). Click the OK button to proceed. Click the Cancel button to abort changing the status of the item.

When you click OK, you will be returned to your home page and the item will be displayed within the Units You Have In-Work section.

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

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.

Note: DRILS allows you to change the status of multiple items to in-work. Each in-work item will appear in the Units You Have In- Work section of your home page.

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 text 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.

Figure 16 - Home Page With Units You Have In Work Section Displayed

Maintenance Menu Documentation of maintenance actions begins at the Maintenance Menu screen. You may access the maintenance menu only after an item has been assigned an in-work status.

The upper part of the screen will give you basic identification information about the item that you are working. It also displays how long you have had the item in work, how many maintenance actions have been documented, and provides links to frequently used historical reports.

The lower portion of the screen is divided into three sections.

1. The left column lists commands that allow you to document maintenance several ways.

2. The middle column lists commands that allow you to out-process the item when maintenance is completed.

4. Continue to document Remove and Install maintenance actions. Refer to Remove and Install documentation (page 19).

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 Adjust a Part and Other Maintenance screens function identically. The steps below illustrate how to document other maintenance.

1. Click the Other Maintenance button. The Other Maintenance screen is displayed.

2. Select the Description from the dropdown list describing the maintenance performed.

3. Click the Save button to complete the maintenance action. Click the Cancel button to discard the data you have entered on the screen.

Figure 23 – Other Maintenance Screen

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.

To add a new description of an Adjustment or Other Maintenance, select Add New Description from the Description drop-down list as shown in Figure 24. Enter the description of the maintenance action in the blank New Description text box and click the Save button.

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. Other than reseating a card or a connector pin, all “Adjustments” are electrical; mechanical adjustments are documented as Other Maintenance (Align knob, Adjust spring tension, etc.).
