Aircraft maintenance and parts traceability

Track each maintenance task, component history, inspection finding and sign-off in one workflow.

Illustrative work-record flow only. It does not perform an airworthiness release or replace an approved maintenance system.

The problem

What goes wrong today

Today
Maintenance tasks, removed components and inspection findings can cross shifts, hangars and suppliers. Teams need a clear record of the work, the serialised part, the inspection result and who made each decision.
Who feels it: Aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul teams coordinating engineers, inspectors and parts

How it runs on TechAppForce

A day with it, step by step

Amber steps wait in a person's work inbox; everything else moves on its own.

  1. A task is openedA maintenance planner creates a work order for an aircraft and assigns the task to an engineering team.
  2. The component is recordedThe technician records the removed component by part and serial number, linking its history to the work order.
  3. An inspection finding is raisedAn inspector attaches evidence and routes a finding that needs a second review to the quality team.
  4. The right people sign offInspector, then qualityThe inspector and quality reviewer record their decisions, comments and timestamps on the work record.
  5. The team sees what remainsA work pack report shows completed tasks, open findings and the linked maintenance history.

Automatic 3

  • WorkflowA component removal creates a traceability record linked to the work order and aircraft
  • NotifyInspection findings notify the assigned maintenance lead and quality team
  • ScheduleA daily view lists open tasks and approaching due dates by aircraft

Screens and reports 5

  • Aircraft work queue grouped by tail number and maintenance status
  • Component history with linked work orders and inspection findings
  • Inspection form with evidence and follow-up fields shown by finding type
  • Work pack summary with task records, findings and sign-offs
  • Open maintenance items by aircraft, due date and responsible team
Who approves, in detail

The assigned inspector reviews completed work. Findings marked for quality review are routed to the quality role, with the decision and comments recorded against the work order.

When the rules change

Bring your version of this.

A change a few months in is a reviewed release, not a rebuild. We will configure your version with you in a demo.

Release: Work order: inspection review

Required evidence
