21-556; 2.
-
What is the simplest security measure to liit access to IMDS?
Keep the remote terminal in your work area off-line from the base computer.
-
How can you record your maintenance data if the IMDS system is down?
Use a manual backup system, such as the AFTO Form 349.
-
Entering inaccurate data into IMDS can cause what long-term difficulties?
Supply shortages, ineffective support contracts, and insufficient inventories.
-

Scheduled maintenance.
-
A change in a job's status due to a maintenance delay.
Deferred maintenance.
-
Generated automatically by IMDS.
Event number and WCE.
-
List the three parts of a basic event number.
The first two digits represent the year, the middle three represent the Julian day, and the last four are sequentially assigned throughout the 24-hour day.
-
What is a WCE?
A three-digit numeric code added at the end of an event ID to differentiate between different maintenance actions required to complete a particular job.
-
What can be assigned to a specific equipment item for recurring maintenance or inspections?
A JST.
-
Which IMDS tool (screen) provides you with a list of deferred, unscheduled, and schedule events by equipment ID, work center, or part/serial number?

-
Your shift supervisor might use screen 380 for what?
To keep track of open jobs and assign those jobs to personnel.
-
Explain what "taking time" means.
Entering into IMDS the number of hours spent by each technician on the specific jobs performed that day.
-
What is "event maintenance: and why is it important?
Maintaining data and status on Event IDs and WCEs; ensures real-time information is presented in IMDS and helps maintain error-free histories on all job record data.
-
