OPERATION MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
This procedure presents the full process to be followed in AMASIS for building a Maintenance
Schedule, i.e. a list of recurrent tasks applicable to an aircraft, through protocol/effectivity couple.
The Maintenance Program defines all the mandatory tasks, their contents and frequency, which apply
to a type of aircraft, excluding the tasks that apply to equipment (managed through Kardex and/or
SBs/ADs and Standard module).
Each task, called Maintenance card describes the main characteristics such as content description,
skill, station, approval level but especially frequencies, tolerances, thresholds and amendment level.

- The user must have the access rights to Operation management (refer to Work with, Work
with roles menu, Work with users).
- Building of maintenance program requires prior definition of effectivity and protocol of involved
aircraft and their link created (refer to Common A/C Effectivity & A/C).

Title Title of the operation, issued from the A.M.M. or C.M.M. Mandatory
alphanumeric field of 40 characters.
A/C zone A/C main zone of work. The zone is defined in the Background data.
(refer to Effectivities & A/C §INFO-AC-P11 doc). This information
can be one of the criteria of operation sequencing in the work
package.
Work station The work station notion mainly serves to identify intervention zones,
not necessarily described in the manufacturer documentation. It must
be defined in the Background data. This information is principally
used to group the maintenance operation by work station, as it is used
for operation sequencing in the work package.

Production code Selection list used to define a production code related to company
(configurable in the Background data (refer to Documents doc)
Maintenance level Selection list used to define the maintenance action level (can be
parameterized in List miscellaneous settings of SB/AD or
Scheduled Maintenance accessible in Common Background data
Miscellaneous) related to user.
Out of Phase Check box indicating that the maintenance operation is part of a
maintenance protocol or not; Out of Phase operations are mainly
operations which frequency does not correspond to any check
frequency.
An Out of Phase operation cannot be linked to a check but can be integrated to an existing Work
Package or generate a Work Order through its linked card.
Check:
Code of initial check type (example: repetitiveness every check A).
If the only introduced value is ‘check’ field; we recommend you to
describe performance cycle (or loop) and step (interval between two
checks) in protocolar check management.
Optional alphanumeric field, which possible values are previously
defined in the Background data (refer to Documents §INFO-DOC-
CHK doc)
Page 10/36
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
OPERATION MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
Flight hours:
Frequency of the operation expressed in airborne flight hours.
Optional integer numeric field.
Cycles:
Frequency of the operation expressed in cell cycles. Optional integer
numeric field.
Calendar:
Frequency expressed in calendar duration. This duration must be
expressed in time unit, which coding is determined by calendar code
management in the Background data (refer to Effectivities & A/C
§INFO-AC-P6 doc) (example: 10 MO for 10 months).
Field including two parts, the first one is an optional integer numeric
field, and the second one is a mandatory alphanumeric field, if the first
one is introduced.
Other ageing 1, 2, 3:
Frequency expressed in a unit known as ‘non-standard’ (e.g.: APU
hours, engine cycles ...). These units must be defined in the
Background data (refer to Effectivities & A/C §INFO-AC-P5 doc)
and it is possible to combine up to three simultaneous non-standard
frequencies. Field including two parts, the first one is an integer
numerical field indicating quantity, and the second one is an
alphanumeric field indicating ageing unit.
All these criteria can be combined, triggering of schedule is made by default by the first deadline
reached in a unit. Should this not be the case, the following field will be used:
Last deadline For operations with multiple frequency (in hours AND cycles, or in
calendar AND hours …) only, this field is used to trigger schedule with
the last value reached. This quite rare case has been introduced to
answer SB constraints which can have this sort of characteristics
(case of SB integrated to protocol). The default value of this field is
No, triggering occurs with the first deadline reached.
Threshold Value from which the operation application starts, (threshold) in the
indicated unit (type). The threshold is an integer numerical value,
whereas the type is one of the ageing types defined in the
Background data
Period:
Numeric integer value associated to unit.
From date
Validity start date, used for calendar thresholds only (e.g.: thresholds:
1 MO from 30/11/11 -> operation schedule will be triggered the
30/12/11 only).

For operations linked to cards also linked to checks, the frequencies are indicated for
information only. Launching of card is linked to check one.
If no frequency is indicated, AMASIS considers that operation has a unique application and
schedule is automatically closed at the first performance.
Numbers
Cost:
Theoretical cost of operation performance. It is the sum of manpower
cost and material cost (list of used consumables and rotables).
Graphics documents:
Synthesis of the number of graphics documents (scanned documents,
pdf formats, images or other electronic documents) linked to this
operation via Graphics Documents module.
E.g.: Job Instruction Card, Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Illustrated
Part Catalog.
Cards:
Number of cards links to this operation.
Manufacturer:
Duration indicated by the manufacturer and necessary for operation
performance. This duration is the sum of the times defined on the
operations linked to the card for:
- performance of operations by each mechanics
- opening/closing of access panels.
Company:
Duration of operation performance in the company. This duration is
based on the manufacturer time weighted by coefficients defined in
table 30 . These coefficients are the result of statistical records
used to compare real performance times with time defined by the
manufacturer. A tool can be used if necessary to update these
coefficients on all the operations.

This tab is used to link reference documents with an operation. For this, various types of link exist
(simple or multiple links). It will be possible to link these operations between themselves, with
maintenance cards, SB/AD documents or miscellaneous documents not defined in the system.
This type of link concerns all the documents for information purposes of source document:
a production document, a report template, an image, etc.
Equal link:
The « source » document and the « linked » document are combined.
Any action on one of the two documents will systematically be carried over the other.
Each document has its own schedule, but they are synchronous.
This type of link is particularly recommended when the user does not want to give priority to one of the
two linked documents.
Piloting link:
The « source » document controls the linked document.
Any action on the « source » document will systematically be carried over the « linked » document.

This type of link is particularly recommended when a «Regulatory» document (JC, SB, AD etc.) is
applied via a « Production » document (Engineering Order, etc…). It enables to have an Airworthiness
status without requiring that the source document serves as the application document.
This type of link is particularly recommended in case of provisory follow-up. It facilitates the transition
of a follow-up to another (change of contents, frequency, etc.).
This tab is used to create and manage links with regulatory documents concerning card performance.
The linked documents will be called during work package report through the linked tasks.

This type of link is particularly recommended in case of conditional follow-up. It facilitates the transition
of a follow-up to another (change of contents, frequency, etc.).
This type of link is particularly recommended in case the user wants performance of a document to be

Some cards have a frequency different from check one, thus linked cards and operations; their
schedule is also different from protocolar check, card and operation one. These cards are called Out
Of Phase cards.
These cards, known as OOP are made of OOP or not operations.
These out of phase operations can however be integrated to a Work Package or be performed
through a Work Order linked to out of phase card.
We recommend you to initialize out of phase card schedule once they have been build (out of phase
operations linked to out of phase cards) because AMASIS automatically initializes the schedules of all
the linked out of phase operations.
