CORRIDOR®

WebsiteContinuum Applied Technologies, Inc.Started in 1996, first use of CORRIDOR® in 1997Now 96 companies listed as using (partial li t)list)


CORRIDOR®

Integrates all functions of a maintenance/flight f ilit i t ft li tifacility into one software application– Labor, parts, accounting, shipping, receiving, flight

ops over-the-counter sales etcops, over-the-counter sales, etc.Software resides at Continuum or on local server with client workstationswith client workstationsAutomatically saves all Work Orders every 5 seconds and all data is on server not clients


CORRIDOR®

Based on Modules– Work Order and others to customize to individual

company needsW h C D t b C t t M t– We have Company Database, Contact Management, Work Order, Inventory, Part/Service Order, Shipping, and Receiving

– Students can only see Work Order– Permissions controlled by Administrator

How LCC Uses it

Student is UserM t id tif t d t U d t bli h– Must identify student as User and establish permissions so can access Work Orders and make some changes (like mechanic in real world)g ( )

Can set up as many User categories as needed and save permission setsWe have Students and Admin (for instructors)We have Students and Admin (for instructors)

Student is also CompanyId tif i di id l C t ll W k O d– Identify as individual Company to allow a Work Order to be associated with an individual student

Use Company Database to set up students asUse Company Database to set up students as companies– Open database page and fill in all Yellow boxesp p g


Company Database

How LCC Uses it


How LCC Uses it

Each Class is Department All i ti W k O d ith ti l– Allows associating a Work Order with a particular class and semester

i.e. AVPP257F09

– And can narrowly sort all Work Orders when searching for a particular oneU M i t i (M i t i /S t /D t t )– Use Maintain menu (Maintain/System/Departments) to set up classes as departments

Printout of S k d StSquawks and Step Barcodes for each student for eachstudent for each class– Each Work OrderEach Work Order

has a unique set of barcodes

How LCC Uses it

Access is via wireless laptop– We have COW (Computer

on Wheelson WheelsIs charging rack of 25 wireless laptopsStudents can check out laptop for class useHas access to CORRIDOR®,

How LCC Uses it

Work Order– Has Work Order Number, Department, and Company

(student) info area

How LCC Uses it


How LCC Uses it

Work Order– Has Work Detail area containing Items, Squawks,

Steps, and Sub-steps (“directory” structure hierarchy)Items (at least one is required):– Items (at least one is required):

AttendanceMakeupLabs

– Each Item requires a Squawk (Attendance, Makeup, Labs)

23

Labs)– Each Squawk may have one or more Steps with Sub-

steps as necessary

How LCC Uses it


How LCC Uses it

Work Order– Labs Squawk steps are individual Labs

Same as original hard copyCan cut and paste from Microsoft WordCan cut and paste from Microsoft WordCan include “sign off” requirement for Oral Checkouts, student demos, etc.C i l d t d b t d dCan include as many steps and sub-steps as needed


How LCC Uses it


How LCC Uses it

Work Order Daily Use by StudentsU b d t b i i f h d t l– Use barcode scanner at beginning of each day to log into Attendance squawk of that classes’ Work Order

Scan badgeScan badgeScan Squawk barcodeScan Labor barcode (i.e. Start Regular Labor)

– Do not have to open work order to do above


How LCC Uses it

Work Order Daily Use by StudentsWh ki i di id l l b ( t ) d f i t– When working on individual lab (step) = do same for appropriate squawk/step

Will automatically end Attendance labor and start new labor– Note open labor is indicated by a red ball, closed labor by a

blue ball– If student has put some labor on a particular Squawk/Step =

Status is now “In Progress” instead of “Open”Status is now In Progress instead of Open


How LCC Uses it

Work Order Daily Use by Students– Can print out report of each student showing daily labor


How LCC Uses it

Work Order Daily Use by Students– Student enters data into Descriptions or

Comments/Notes areas availableAnswers questions enters aircraft/engine data etcAnswers questions, enters aircraft/engine data, etc.


How LCC Uses it

Work Order Daily Use by Students– Student also makes practice logbook entry in

Comments/Notes area for each Lab (step)Has to simulate signatureHas to simulate signature


How LCC Uses it

Work Order Daily Use by Students– When all info entered = student clicks “Sign-off”

buttonStatus changes to “Waiting Inspection”Status changes to Waiting InspectionKey to instructor to grade that lab


How LCC Uses it

Work Order Daily Use by Students– When all info is correct and lab is graded = instructor

signs-off and status changes to “Completed”Student goal to get all “Completed” (all Labs– Student goal to get all Completed (all Labs completed)


How LCC Uses it

Work Order Daily Use by Students– If need to redo = instructor can remove sign-off and

status returns to “In Progress”


How LCC Uses it


How LCC Uses it

Work Order Daily Use by Students– If appropriate, student can search inventory and add

a part to a Squawk/step


How LCC Uses it

Work Order Daily Use by Students– When done with one Step (Lab) student can log back

into Attendance or into another stepAt end of day student must scan badge and Labor– At end of day, student must scan badge and Labor barcode of “End All Labor”

Logs student out of CORRIDOR® for that day


How LCC Uses it

Work Order Daily Use by Students– If doing Makeup for missed time = scan into and out

of Makeup Squawk


How LCC Uses it

Work Order Daily Use by Studentsy y– Instructors (administrators) can view and change any

student’s Work Order at any time by logging into that W k O dWork Order

– Other students can also view all Work OrdersStudents told is cheating just same as “borrowing”Students told is cheating just same as borrowing someone’s hard copy lab sheet


Work Order creation

Use Work Paks to set up squawk steps (Labs)( )Work Paks– Maintain/System/Work Order Tools/Work

Paks/Authoring Tool– Enter name and description

Make consistent system for names = easier to search andMake consistent system for names = easier to search and find what you want

– Add Steps, as many as necessary

April 19, 2009 ATEC 2009 Conference61– Paste lab info into each step

Work Order creation

Work Paks– Can require 0-3 sign-offs on any step

2 = student and instructor separatelyRecommend only one on checkouts as 2 requires instructorRecommend only one on checkouts as 2 requires instructor to log into student’s Work Order to sign offShould use 2 on each main Step to give instructor control

– Must “Approve” the Work Pak before you can use it in– Must Approve the Work Pak before you can use it in a Work Order


Work Order creation

Work Paks– We do separate Work Pak for each Lab then combine

into one large Work PakCan change individual Work Pak lab easier than if all in oneCan change individual Work Pak lab easier than if all in onei.e. 257Labs Work Pak = highest level to be inserted into Work Orders257Lab1 (etc ) = individual Labs to be inserted into 257Labs257Lab1 (etc.) = individual Labs to be inserted into 257Labs 257checkout = generic checkout Work Pak to be inserted into individual Lab Work Paks as necessary3 l hi h


3 layer hierarchy

Work Order creation

Work Paks– Once completed and approved = put into Lab Squawk

Enter Work Pak id in appropriate boxClose (save) and it puts it all in for youClose (save) and it puts it all in for you

– At beginning of semester = need to make all Work Orders individually

Prepare Work Paks in advance and later modify as neededIf make change = will automatically update all instances of that Work Pak on all active Work Orders
