ATR 72-500 P2F LCDT kitting process:
The IPRC P2F LCDT kit contains some 1,834 individual part numbered items and in total, over 30,000 individual parts. Kitting is therefore a detailed exercise requiring accuracy and attention to detail.
Preparation of kit:
The IPRC LCDT kit is compiled by instruction procedures, called Task Cards. Every Task Card includes a Part List showing the required Parts to perform the works, packed into sealed bags together with the applicable EASA Form 1. Multiple sequentially ordered Task Cards and related parts generate a Work Order. Every Work Order is packed in a Box with a total of 52 Boxes for a full kit, which is prepared in approximately 4 to 6 weeks, then shipped to end user upon acceptance.
Please refer to the sample ‘Task Card 1052’ and sample ‘Parts Listing 1052’.
Each task card is associated with its applicable parts listing which contains the exact list of parts detailing, for example the Part Number, the Quantity and any appropriate alternates if applicable. Each Parts List is recorded using a Pick Ticket, detailing the parts to be packed into sealed bags, together with the respective certificates. The sealed bags are placed into numbered boxes + the respective parts list reference (e.g. P2F-00090-PL1052-S01-R01 pictured). IPRC and AATC provides adequate time and space to the Customer and MRO in Toulouse in order to perform a satisfactory audit inspection and acceptance of an LCDT kit.
Once the entire kit has been accepted, packed and shipped to the MRO, the MRO store will only need to manage 52 references (being the total quantity of Tasks and Part Lists under the IPRC LCDT Service Bulletin). The MRO records these 52 boxes into their information system, to trace the parts listings and normally opens 52 Work Orders in their internal stores systems (being 1 work order per task) and attaches to each work order the requested parts from each box.
