Planning maintenance locations

Planning and scheduling maintenance activities for aircraft or equipment can be complex, because often the aircraft or equipment that requires maintenance is not in the correct location at the correct time. Maintenance location planning involves managing and scheduling assignments, crews, and materials at MRO locations.

MRO locations overview
An MRO location represents the physical location of a facility where the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of complex aircraft or equipment occur. The MRO Locations application is used to schedule work packages efficiently and to define the physical location, classification, and capabilities of the site where the MRO activities occur.
Managing MRO locations
An MRO location is a facility where aircraft are brought for maintenance. You can assign work to resources that are associated with the MRO location, or to the MRO location itself.
Managing crews graphically
You can manage the labor and equipment that are assigned to positions in crews visually by using the Graphical Crew Management application.
Managing schedules
You use the Graphical Scheduling application to manage and schedule work and resources at your organization. You can view the schedules in the Gantt view to manage them visually.
The Gantt view
You can use the Gantt view to help you schedule work based on resource requirements and their availability.
Managing assignments
You assign work to labor and crews at your organization based on their skills and availability. In the Graphical Assignment application, you view upcoming work and assign the work graphically to the appropriate labor or crew resource, and respond to dynamic work situations.
