End-to-end maintenance workflow

Overview

A complete maintenance workflow in MaintSpace follows a structured process:

Maintenance schedule → Work package → Work order → Production → Completion

Each step ensures maintenance is planned, executed, and documented correctly.

Step 1: Identify maintenance requirements

Maintenance starts with identifying what needs to be done.

This typically comes from:

• Maintenance schedules (recurring tasks)

• Defects (unexpected issues)

• Operational needs

Review upcoming or due maintenance in the Maintenance Planning dashboard.

Step 2: Plan the work

Once maintenance is identified, plan how it will be performed.

You can:

• Create a work package to group tasks

• Define scope and timing

• Prepare for execution

Planning helps reduce downtime and ensures efficient execution.

Step 3: Prepare parts and resources

Before starting work, make sure everything is ready.

• Check Inventory for required parts

• Reserve parts for the work

• Order missing items through Purchasing

Proper preparation avoids delays during execution.

Step 4: Create work orders

Work orders define the actual work to be performed.

• Create one or more work orders

• Link them to the aircraft and tasks

• Include descriptions and required actions

Work orders are the foundation for execution and documentation.

Step 5: Execute the work

Maintenance work is carried out in Production.

• Open the work order

• Perform the tasks

• Use parts and tools as needed

• Log time and activities

This ensures all work is properly tracked.

Step 6: Complete and document the work

Once work is finished:

• Review all tasks and entries

• Ensure all work is completed

• Close the work order

All actions are recorded for traceability and compliance.

Step 7: Maintain records and follow up

After completion:

• Maintenance history is stored

• Components and status are updated

• Future maintenance is tracked automatically

This ensures ongoing airworthiness and compliance.

How everything connects

MaintSpace connects your entire operation:

• Maintenance Planning defines what needs to be done

• Inventory ensures parts are available

• Purchasing supports missing parts

• Production executes the work

This creates one complete operational flow.
