Due At, via A/C Planning Results

TRAX MANUALS > Planning > Planning Module > Planning, Query Menu > A/C Planning Query > A/C Planning (Inventory Planner View), Inventory Planning Tab > A/C Planning (Inventory Planner View) Results > Due At, via A/C Planning Results

The Due At gives the user information about when the planning element item(s) become due.

The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Concession button

The Concession button displays when there is a current concession affecting the item. There may be several Concessions pending on the same item. Select the Concession button to view details of the concession(s). For more information regarding Concessions, please refer to the Concession Registry section of the Technical Records Manual.

Note: This window is informational only.

Due At A/C (Hours/Cycles)

The Aircraft Hours/Cycles that the item is due at.

Due Date

The calculated due date of the item (rounded to the nearest date). Planning will calculate the due date based on the number of remaining hours and/or cycles factored by the mean hours set-up for each aircraft.:


Hours Remaining	Divided By	Mean Hours	Equals	Number of Factored Days
1000	/	10.00	=	100.00
TRAX will add the factored number of days to today's date (the day on which the planning query is run) to come up with the due date:
Today's Date	Plus	Factored Days	Equals	Due Date
06/05/2008	+	100	=	08/23/2008
Note: There is a different calculation for calendar day driven items. These will have their due date calculated by adding the remaining number of days to today's date.
Go to Engineering/Update/Engineering Control/Schedule Tab In this example, the First Schedule Days and Repeat Schedule was reset to 100 days. The Warning % due is 90%.

- Warning % Due is between 0-89 days of being due. (normal color)

- Warning % Due is within 10 days of being due. (Yellow)

- Warning % Due is 1 or more days past being due. (Red)

EOM (End of Month) checkbox

The EOM checkbox appears when the planned element is coming due during the month but has been flagged to be complete at the end of the month. The Due Date will not appear in red (overdue) until after the EOM has passed. For additional information regarding the EOM, refer to Engineering Control, Schedule Tab via the Engineering - E/C Training manual.

Remain HRS/CYC

The system automatically calculates based on the mean hours and cycles per day, the remaining hours and cycles which can be flown on that Due Date without the maintenance event being overflown. For example, with a remaining schedule of 100 and the A/C has mean hours/cycles of 9.33 hours /5 cycles, this means that with 10 days left, the A/C should have 93.3 hours as of the Due Date. Therefore, the A/C has 6.33 hours of flight time before the maintenance event becomes overdue.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Either the A/C Schedule Flight option or the A/C Schedule Flight Daily option stores the averages for each A/C in the fleet. The A/C Schedule Flight option is used for average flying time for user specified date ranges. The A/C Schedule Flight Daily option is used for actual flying time per day.

PL_SAR

On performing the forecast for the Due Date, the system will round to the nearest day, before the element becomes overdue. When rounding to the day, there may be a remainder of Hours and Cycles, which will appear in the Remain HRS/CYC field. For example, if the Remaining HRS/CYC displays 5:15; this indicates that there are 5 hours and 15 minutes left over from the forecasted due date.

Note: This should not be confused with the Remaining Time (the Hours/Cycles/Days remaining against the item).

This information is used by the Planner to utilize as much of the item's schedule as possible. Note that this should not be confused with the Remaining Time (the Hours/Cycles/Days remaining against the item).The field will indicate if the item is overdue in red.

The Due Date will appear in yellow if the item has surpassed "X" percentage of its schedule.

PLANDUE% (Planning Warning When Percent Due): If set to Yes, the system will highlight (in Yellow) the Due Date title in the Planning Query Results for items that have surpassed "X" percentage of their schedule. Enter the percentage in the Config Number field.

Note: This percentage can be overridden via Engineering/Update/E/C/Schedule Tab/Warning Percent Due field. The Config Other field is used.

ACROLAVG - (Use A/C Rolling Average For Mean Hours And Cycles): If set to Yes, a rolling average is calculated for the mean hours and cycles calculation that is generated via Planning/Update/A/C Schedule Flight.
