Fastener Risk Mitigation System
Every day there are thousands of fasteners, nuts, bolts, and washers laying around the maintenance hangar in paint cups and plastic bags, waiting to be lost and unaccounted for. To put the impact of fasteners into perspective; a phone is held together with 75 fasteners, a car with 3,500 fasteners, and an aircraft with 1,500,000 fasteners (Kruszelnicki, 1997). These risks become incidents and mishaps that account for millions of dollars in repairs, thousands of man-hours in preventable maintenance, a failure to meet mission capability rates, and missed scheduling.
The Skyplate is a tool that organizes and maintains fasteners and complementary hardware used in the maintenance of weapon systems (aircraft, tanks, ships, drones, etc.) and components. The Skyplate increases efficiency; speeding up maintenance operations and returning weapon systems to service sooner. The Skyplate introduces an efficient maintenance process that boost productivity, minimizes vehicle downtime, maintains scheduling, and controls cost.
The Skyplate is applicable for the following maintenance operations:
Phase maintenance
Depot maintenance
Flight-line maintenance
Isochronal maintenance
Reset
Intermediate maintenance
Scheduled maintenance
Unscheduled maintenance
Field-level maintenance
Preventive maintenance checks (PMCS)
Motor Pool Maintenance
