A Place For Everything, And Everything In Its Place<\/h2>\n

Basic tools and parts control procedures are critical for the FOD environment. Working in aviation is similar to working in a hospital. Your <\/em>operating room is the hangar floor or the airfield-parking ramp. Before you begin work, you undergo similar preparation to a surgical team because you\u2019re doing the same kind of things to a machine that a surgeon does to a human body.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t

Basic Tools and Parts Control Established Procedures<\/h3>\n

All work procedures on aircraft must be standardized. This means everyone doing a specific task will do it the same way, every time.<\/p>\n

At top levels of the US Air Force guidance of a general nature is given: \u201cYou\u00a0must control your tools, parts and equipment.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>This is coupled with the manufacturer\u2019s guidance for the aircraft or aircraft system involved:\u00a0\u201cIf you are working on our product, you will do these things\u2026.\u201d <\/em>Localized procedures are added to ensure that individual processes involving tool control methods are addressed for that particular installation: \u201cWe at Location X will adhere to the following specific guidelines when handling tools and equipment\u2026.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"NutsCorporations are no different. Top-down leadership directs aircraft maintenance tool control all the way to the technician. These include procedures for security, control and accountability of all tools, parts and equipment \u2014 even to include expendable items such as rags, caps and safety wire.<\/span><\/p>\n

Losing a part or tool activates established policy too: \u201cWhen\u00a0a tool room item cannot be immediately accounted for, the following guidelines are to be adhered to in order to achieve the maximum recovery effort before said item causes any damage<\/em>\u2026\u201d Follow the book, and it will be all right in the end.<\/p>\n

One of the greatest mistakes any organization can make is to\u00a0fail to listen\u00a0<\/em>to the workers. You can have the best managers, scientists and engineers but everything might come down to an individual working the floor who may have six months of experience on the job.<\/p>\n

If they are unsure of what to do, including how to use and account for their equipment, then the aircraft they are handling could be in peril. If they find a flaw in the system, you owe it to the floor workers to hear \u2014 and resolve \u2014 their concerns.<\/p>\n

Pre-Assembled Basic Tools and Parts Control<\/h3>\n

As in routine repetitive surgery,\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>tool or parts kit can be set up ahead of time.\u00a0Assembly TREYs\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0should be \u201cpre-kitted\u201d meaning the items are counted ahead of time, arranged or assembled for easy pick up, and organized to follow the work flow.<\/p>\n

These kit trays can also be used for routine dis-assembly projects. Some operations bubble-wrap tool kits and have vending machines for aviation tools and equipment that record the worker\u2019s ID when a tool or kit is signed out. FOD bags and FOD cans are encouraged at your workstation so everything is contained in a \u201cClean-As-You-Go\u201d process.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Right Tools for the Job<\/h3>\n

Ensure the parts tray or CTK (Consolidated Tool Kit) is clean and every tool is functional. CTKs should be arranged for quick inventory and accountability of tools. Each tool removed must be identified so if it is lost, whoever finds it will know exactly where it belongs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nothing should touch an aircraft or aircraft part that isn\u2019t properly checked out and marked<\/em>, including test equipment and accessories. Marking is commonly done through mechanical or laser etching.<\/p>\n

A widely accepted method of tool inventory is to \u201cshadow\u201d the tools. Tool control methods like tool shadowing is done several ways but a preferred method is to use two thin layers of foam. The top layer is one solid color and each tool shape is cut all the way through it. This layer is firmly glued to a bottom layer of a contrasting color.<\/p>\n

What you get is a well-shadowed toolbox, with instant visibility every time any tool is removed. Re-foam tool kits to change the design or remove unused tools when it gets too crowded.<\/p>\n

Each CTK should contain a MIL (Master Inventory List) and a removed-tool form to tell the user the status and location of every tool. Consumable items mixed with tools are permissible provided they are itemized on the MIL. No personal tools should be allowed in CTK kits.<\/p>\n

Larger \u201ccommon\u201d toolboxes can cut down the need for smaller hand-carried items. Standardize multiple CTKs or TREYs\u00ae that will be used for the same purpose to maximize efficiency and insure control.<\/p>\n

Speaking of control; in the best aviation tool control programs, technicians have a go-between person responsible for checking out their tools, and a tracking system using bar codes or tool chit system established to ensure positive control at all times.<\/p>\n

The Team Assembles<\/h3>\n

Technicians can\u2019t arrive at the work site unless they have the proper procedural guidance and on-the-job training. They must wear the right clothing; have no loose change or stuff in their pockets and, in certain places such as aircraft engines, be wearing pocket-less, button-less coveralls. They should have the time to thoroughly check their aviation tools and equipment over, to receive a good \u201cpass-on\u201d from the earlier shift before starting to work.<\/p>\n

The smart guys and gals touch and lift tools in their CTK to see what else is in the box before they accept it. (The tool room folks should check the CTK kits as well when the tools and parts come back for check in.) Now they\u2019re ready to commence\u2026<\/p>\n

Then the Work Really Begins<\/h3>\n

The work area may have to be cleaned and prepared. This means things have to be FOD free in much the same way as the operating room has to be germ-free. Usually there are access panels to open along with tools and equipment to assemble.<\/p>\n

Collecting hardware and fasteners in marked bags or trays and setting them safely aside goes along with a good job site tool chit system. Accountability is the key.

Finally, you get to work and do what you are trained to do. Whatever it is, stay the course, follow the procedures, and \u201cClean-As-You-Go.\u201d On completion, all tools, including automated tool control systems, equipment and work-generated debris are to be accounted for before the aircraft is sealed up.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":289,"featured_media":5199,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[100,101,102,99],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-airports","category-operations","category-manufacturing","category-training"],"yoast_head":"\nAviation Tool Control Programs, Methods, and Chit Systems<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover key aviation tool control program methods for safer operations.
