What systems are used to schedule aircraft into maintenance

[Blacksheep]

In the Cold War days, whiteboard pen manufacturers (e.g. Chinagraph) were Soviet "First Strike" targets!!

Back to the question, our organization uses specialised OTS software - Cimber's AMICOS system. Its almost as ancient as the chinagraph and doesn't work any better than a white board. More up to date are AMICOS II and Trax, both OTS maintenance planning, record keeping and inventory control software systems. We are working with Boeing and their partners on the "Enterprise One" system, which should be up and running sometime in October. This is similar to the Trax and Cimber offerings, but its much better at integrating both Boeing's Portable Maintenance Aid (aka PMA) and Airbus's AirNAv digital documentation data into the manufacturer's task cards. It also handles digitised Airworthiness Directives and Service Bulletins better. Enterprise One will also be marketed by Boeing as an OTS package.
