2MoRO announces the release of the new Aero-Webb® version (v6.0), compatible with SAP NetWeaver 7.3.
This one significantly improves the functional scope of the Maintenance Forecaster & Optimizer (MFO) and the Master Configuration Hub (MCH) modules. It also adds two new modules: Human Resources and Material Management.
Aero-Webb® is now compatible with SAP NetWeaver 7.3 and benefits from the new functionalities of this SAP Web Application Server version: new ergonomics, new portal functionalities, and new user interface capabilities (Drag and Drop, Graphics,…).
On the functional side, one of the main improvements is on the objects workflow management of Aero-Webb and, in particular, Master Configuration Hub (MCH) building block. It becomes possible to set dynamically the application with the real customer business context (with better data traceability and status tracking). The user interface has been improved to help customers easily define the Referential data (IPC-Illustrated Parts Catalog), Part configuration, Service Bulletins (SB), and Airworthiness Directives (AD).
The maintenance scheduling (MFO) module has been enhanced with new ergonomics and also an intelligent optimizer algorithm. The optimizer takes into account the complex ‘network’ of resources, logistics, and aircraft capabilities to deliver capacity planning functionalities. Thanks to the optimizer, MFO can plan automatically the list of tasks to be performed with Aircraft status (Line slots, Scheduled visits, etc…) and the capacities of the resources. Work packages and Word orders can be generated, planned, and ‘pushed’ for execution, through the AirM module (Aircraft Maintenance execution module of Aero-Webb) to propose an end-to-end maintenance process, from long-term planning to shop/line maintenance execution.
In addition, two new Building Blocks have been integrated into the functional panel of Aero-Webb®.
Human Resources (HR) allows managing people, their qualifications, their training program, and activity planning. These data can be exploited by existing core modules of Aero-Webb® : (1) @MFO to automatically get qualifications that are available per MRO center and day/week when a maintenance scheduling is performed. (2) @FM to identify pilot and crew availability to plan flights et associated teams.
The second new module, Material Management (MM) enables inventory management. MM offers basic inventory transactions (good receipt, transfer, issues, etc…), and it gives accurate visibility of inventory levels (including bin management) based on real-time and planned requirements. Thus, this module is integrated with the @AirM module for execution purposes (Parts, ingredients, and tools requirements) and with @MFO to check and manage inventory levels in accordance with scheduled maintenance.
