Statistical Maintenance and Repair Techniques (SMART) Shop.

Abstract

The Avionics Management Production Division (WR-ALC/LYP) performs depot maintenance on 125,800 end items per year from more than 20 different aircraft. The basic depot maintenance philosophy has been to test an end item until a faulty function is found and then to narrow the test to identify a failed component. No visibility was given to the prior performance or failure history. No one knew if a particular end item was frequently visiting the depot with the same or similar failures. Test and repair technicians did not have an on-line data collection and retrieval method of documenting and evaluating repair process improvement efforts. An excessive amount of time was spent manually processing data to and from management data systems external to the depot shop.
