There are many challenges confronting the management of a component or assembly shop. Above and beyond simply managing the efficient utilization of labor resources, Shops must be able to put themselves in the context of the entire supply chain of an organization, understanding the demand that is pulling components or assemblies through the Shop. Furthermore, the Shop itself is deeply concerned with the technical data surrounding the inventory being repaired or overhauled, and is a key provider of this data to the Technical Records and Reliability groups within the organization.
Maintenix® has a very detailed level of serialized tracking of inventory, which provides a strong foundation for solving these difficult problems. From “cradle to grave”, the history of the component – from everywhere it has been installed to everything that has been installed on it – is tracked. Moreover, Maintenix understands the pivotal role that the Shop plays in the supply chain, and provides unprecedented visibility into the demand that drives the shop activities. In all, Maintenix provides a complete solution for the management and control of component or assembly shops.
