• Each bag will be attached to the component or will contain a tag that identifies the aircraft tail number and component that the hardware was removed from and will be sorted in designated aircraft parts bins.
• Unserviceable hardware will be discarded in FO containers immediately upon removal.
• During component installation or maintenance repair actions, employees will only transport aboard the aircraft the amount of hardware necessary to accomplish the job/task.
• Bench stock hardware maintained in maintenance areas will be controlled and stocked in approved cabinets and containers (i.e., spring load covers, etc.).
• Expendable tools and consumable supplies (i.e., sanding disc, brushes, etc.) are issued by Production Control Hub to Work area Foreman and stored by Foreman in appropriate cabinets in maintenance area. Area foreman are issued consumables to support daily operational requirements for their section. Expendable tools and consumable supplies will be discarded in FO containers when no longer useable.
• Employees will use “clean-as-you-go” techniques. i.e., clean the immediate area during work in progress, after work is complete and prior to inspection.
• Task removal and installation work instructions will be used to assist in tracking parts and hardware.
• Anytime an item (i.e., hardware) is lost during assembly or a maintenance task, cease activity in the affected area and initiate a search for the item. Continue the search until the item is found. If the item cannot be located follow the procedures in lost tool procedures.
Tool Control and Accountability
• The primary objective of the tool control program is to eliminate accidents/incidents and loss of life or equipment due to tool FOD. For this program to be effective, the cooperation, indoctrination and education of all personnel who work directly with tools are essential. Our tool control program:
• Provides tool room storage, issue and accountability procedures for company-owned tools
• Identifies the owner of personal tools by a unique marking system
• Requires tool boxes to be “shadow boxed” to easily identify missing tools
• Requires each employee tool box to have a current inventory sheet
• Requires tool box inventories to be conducted by the employee at the beginning and end of each shift and requires employees to account for all tools at the completion of the job task
• Requires a mandatory sign-off by a supervisor or quality control inspector on each completed work instruction used in support of a production process that tool accountability has been completed.
• Provides for immediate notification upon discovery of a lost tool and search reporting procedures.
