Part Manager

The Part Manager tells us whether the part information in our schematic is consistent with the part information in the database. As an example, we will change the value of the 1.5k resistor to 1.8k  

The part listed in the database is part number pl.5ketr-nd, which is a 1.5k resistor. In the schematic, the value is 1.8k, so the schematic information is inconsistent with the database information. If we create a BOM with this schematic, it will be incorrect. Capture CIS provides a facility for detecting these inconsistencies. 

We must return to the tree view of the project to check for inconsistencies. Type CTRL-F4 to close the schematic  

Select Tools, Part Manager, and then Open

We see that all parts have a green part status except for the resistor, which has a red part status. This shows that all parts except for the resistors have consistent information in the schematic and the database. In the next section we will show how to correct this problem with the resistor. Type CTRL-F4 to close the Part Manager window. 

If you now close the schematic, open the Part Manager, and then update the status as shown in section 10.C.3, you will see that all parts are displayed with green part status, indicating that the schematic is consistent with the database ...

There are a number of issues that must be addressed in the maintenance basics arena in order for a pharmaceutical plant to achieve excellence in maintenance. They are performance measures, work order controls, preventive maintenance, spare parts management, operations/maintenance relations, training/continuing education, and the CMMS. 

At each site the warehouse uses a reorder policy for maximum and minimum stock levels with a reorder threshold level established for each item stocked. The maximum, minimum, and reorder levels are based on the initial experience of spare parts management from JACADS with modifications based on ongoing continued operating experience at active facilities. One site had a goal of 98 percent parts availability, and that goal is currently being met. 

The process of operation of the supply chain is as follows. When aircrafts generate demand for replacements, also called service parts. These service parts are supplied from the local inventory at air stations. This inventory is replenished by the central warehouse facility at Elizabeth City. In 2001, the total number of individual parts managed at the central facility exceeded 60,000 parts, and the total value of the inventory exceeded 70 million. When working parts are shipped from the warehouse to the air station to satisfy aircraft demand, the salvageable broken components, from all air stations, are shipped back to the warehouse for repair and reuse. The aircraft from all air stations also come for periodic overhaul (depot maintenance) to the Elizabeth City facility, and thus generate demand for parts. Of the total parts in the system, about 6,000 are repaired both internally and by outside commercial vendors. The total annual budget for parts purchases, parts repair, and depot-level maintenance exceeds 140 million. 

With 4 X 50%, the single components are smaller and less expensive. Therefore the costs related to the spare parts management are also reduced.

Figure 16.12 depicts an obstacle, or win-lose perspective, that I come across all too often. The "we-they" attitude spun off by traditional management-labor differences often makes for a dysfunctional "family." It seems some unions attempt to justify their existence by focusing on disagreement, conflict, and mistrust between management and labor. For its part, management supports this "we-they" split with an alienating communications style that asserts its ultimate power and control.
