Introduction to McParts

Mechanical development Part system.

A database providing engine and component history,
component failures, test data, build numbers and a
common system for users.
Users are Engineers.
The engineers may be test engineer, assembly
engineer, disassembly engineer, reliability engineer.
Pre production testing.

 Engine Life Cycle
To track component information, failures and test
data, an engine must be set up.
The engine record contains specific information
about the engine such as: the test type, the engine
owner, duration of the test, where the engine will be
assembled, approximately when the test is expected
to start and a short test description.
The build engineer sets up an engine.
Engine Assembly: The technician is able to get all the
necessary instructions for assembling the engine from
the database. The instructions include: torque
requirements, inspection requirements (the technician is
responsible to make sure all the necessary components
are taken to inspection and are measured before
assembling the engine), assembly instructions
(measurements made while assembling the engine), and
the approved parts list.
Engine Test: After the engine is assembled, the engine
is ready to be set up in the database for testing.
Engine/Component Failures: Failures may be loaded
for any component on the parts list for the engine.
 Engine Disassembly: After the testing has been
completed the build engineer should put the engine on
disassembly. The technician assigned to the
disassembly of the engine will be notified when the
engine is ready for disassembly. From McParts, the
technician can get disassembly instructions and the
final inspection instructions. The parts are then laid
out for a teardown review.
Engine Disposition: After the tear down review, all
the engineers must dispose of their special parts and
the build engineer has the responsibility to dispose
all of the parts of the engine that are not declared
special (the standard parts).
Driving Forces: The engine life cycle is driven by the
internal message system of McParts. The messages
are referred to as action items.
 Build Type Definitions
Standard
Test only
Parts only
Partial Parts List
McQuik
Standard: Most builds are defined in McParts to be
built from the master parts lists, then tested, data
entered for a full build history, these builds are called
Standard.
Test only: The test only engine does not have a parts list
and thus can not track incidents. It does not send out
any messages to the engineers in regard to the engine
declaration, assembly, disassembly, and disposal.
Parts only: This build does not allow the test cell to be
initialized and thus no test data may be entered.
Partial Parts List: The full parts list may be added just
prior to assembly in order to be more accurate.
McQuik: A McQuik build is a type of rebuild; all the
components are automatically reused from the previous
build for the new build. It has minimal or no part
changes from one build to the next.
Engine Form
 Assembly assignment: To notify the assembly
engineers the engine is ready for assembly.
Disassembly assignment: To notify the disassembly
engineers the engine is ready for disassembly.
Special parts: The engineers are assigned for a
particular part of the engine.
