  23. What is IMDS?
    An on-line computer system for collection, storage, and retrieval of maintenance data.
  24. What is the main objective of IMDS?
    To provide the maintenance community  with instant access to a database of information about maintenance resources.
  25. About what types of maintenance resources does IMDS provide information?
    Aircraft, aircraft subsystems, support equipment, supplies, and personnel.

  27. Which IMDS subsystem provides automatic reporting of inventory, status, utilization, and assigned test station production?
    ATERS.
  28. What is IMDS information used for at the base level?
    The more effectively utilize maintenance, personnel and equipment resources.
  29. In which AFCSM and volume can you find an introduction to IMDS?
    21-556; 2.
  30. 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.
  31. How can you record your maintenance data if the IMDS system is down?
    Use a manual backup system, such as the AFTO Form 349.
  32. Entering inaccurate data into IMDS can cause what long-term difficulties?
    Supply shortages, ineffective support contracts, and insufficient inventories.
  33. Differentiates between maintenance actions required to complete a job.
    WCE.
  34. Actions that do not contribute directly to equipment maintenance.
    Indirect labor.
  35. Found in an -06 manual.
    MDD codes.
  36. Unpredictable maintenance requirements that require prompt attention.
    Unscheduled maintenance.
  37. Used to report, control, and identify each maintenance action.
    Event number.
  38. Known or predictable maintenance requirements.
    Scheduled maintenance.
  39. A change in a job's status due to a maintenance delay.
    Deferred maintenance.
  40. Generated automatically by IMDS.
    Event number and WCE.
  41. 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.
  42. 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.
  43. What can be assigned to a specific equipment item for recurring maintenance or inspections?
    A JST.
  44. Which IMDS tool (screen) provides you with a list of deferred, unscheduled, and schedule events by equipment ID, work center, or part/serial number?
    Documented maintenance inquiry (screen 380).
  45. Your shift supervisor might use screen 380 for what?
    To keep track of open jobs and assign those jobs to personnel.
  46. Explain what "taking time" means.
    Entering into IMDS the number of hours spent by each technician on the specific jobs performed that day.
  47. 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.
  48. Describe the inquiry capability of screen 122.
    Displays all maintenance data performed against a particular Event ID, regardless of whether the work action is completed.
  49. What feedback do you get when you use IMDS to request an item from supply?
    A management notice that assigns a document number and indicates either a FILL or a KILL status.
  50. What is a "KILL notice" and how should you respond to one?
