Description
Currently you cannot annotate and track the type of Labor Hours that the technicians operating under using, i.e. normal, training or overtime.
Recommended
Add a "Training Box" and "Overtime box" on the Sub Work Order Labor Tab, that can be easily check. We have attached a screen shot of where the Training Box can be on the screen. The box would only be check if a technician is assisted by a someone in upgrade training. For example: Technician 1 is fully trained on the job however and he has a new airman (Technician 2) performing the job with him for the first time. Technician 1 would simply input his time for the job as usual, Technician 2 would also input his time as normal but would also check the Training Box to indicate that he/she was being trained during this time. These fields/boxes will also be searchable during any work-order and labor inquiries and would also passed over to the GCSS warehouse during ETL run.
Mission Critical
Mandated. To be differentiate between a technician doing work they are qualified on or work they are being trained on. Annotating training time is beneficial in several areas for us. One it provides another avenue to properly track individual and maintenance facilities training programs. Two it provides an ability to view work that was done by an individual in training in case of an incident investigation and third it allows us to meet contract requirement for one of our weapon system contracts. We're obligated to identify any work and time charged against the 25K Halverson and 60K Tunner aircraft loaders that was performed by technicians in training status. These labor hours will not be charged to the vendor.
Benefits
Benefits will be the proper accounting of hours taken by technicians.
Users
All Air Force fleet managers/maintenance controllers will be effected by this.
