Abstract

The present invention is directed to a system and process for monitoring jet fuel quality control procedural compliance. One system of the current invention includes a portable computer in communication with a server over network, an equipment database, and a report module. In exemplary process, jet fuel equipment is input into the system and stored in the equipment database, along with the process for its inspection. Inspector profiles are input into the system. The system facilitates notification of required inspections for a facility. The system presents an interface guiding an inspector through inspection of jet fuel and jet fuel equipment inspections. The input is stored by the system, whereby the report module generate reports based on inspection reports, equipment, and facilities.

Claims

1. A system for monitoring jet fuel quality control procedural compliance, said system comprising:

an equipment module having an equipment database and causing a processor and memory to carry out instructions;

an equipment database operable to store jet fuel equipment data and jet fuel equipment inspection reports;

the equipment module storing said inspection reports processes, each inspection report customized to a particular type of j et fuel equipment;

said inspection reports including inspection steps, one or more tests, and input to document said test, and a test result;

the system presenting an interactive interface for receiving input, storage, and processing of jet fuel and jet fuel equipment said inspections reports;

wherein said jet fuel equipment data includes a facility location and a time zone.

2. A system for monitoring jet fuel quality control procedural compliance, said system comprising:

an equipment module having an equipment database and causing a processor and memory to carry out instructions;

an equipment database operable to store jet fuel equipment data and jet fuel equipment inspection reports;

the equipment module storing said inspection reports processes, each inspection report customized to a particular type of jet fuel equipment;

said inspection reports including inspection steps, one or more tests, and input to document said test, and a test result;

the system presenting an interactive interface for receiving input, storage, and processing of jet fuel and jet fuel equipment said inspections reports;

further comprising a spot audit module, said spot audit module receiving a remote inspection request for selected jet fuel equipment at a location, sending an alert to inspectors at said location to initiate an inspection of said jet fuel equipment, receiving an inspection report input from said inspector and transmitting said inspection report input to said auditor in real-time.

5. The system of claim 2, wherein said inspection input includes camera input.

3. A process for monitoring jet fuel quality control procedural compliance, said process comprising:

providing an equipment module having an equipment database and causing a processor and memory to carry out instructions;

an equipment database operable to store jet fuel equipment data and jet fuel equipment inspection reports;

the equipment module storing said inspection reports processes, each inspection report customized to a particular type of jet fuel equipment;

said inspection reports including inspection steps, one or more tests, and input to document said test, and a test result;

the system presenting an interactive interface for receiving input, storage, and processing of jet fuel and jet fuel equipment said inspection reports;

wherein said jet fuel equipment data includes a facility location and a time zone.

4. A process for monitoring jet fuel quality control procedural compliance, said process comprising:

providing an equipment module having an equipment database and causing a processor and memory to carry out instructions;

an equipment database operable to store jet fuel equipment data and jet fuel equipment inspection reports;

the equipment module storing said inspection reports processes, each inspection report customized to a particular type of j et fuel equipment;

said inspection reports including inspection steps, one or more tests, and input to document said test, and a test result;

the system presenting an interactive interface for receiving input, storage, and processing of jet fuel and jet fuel equipment said inspections reports;

further comprising a spot audit module, said spot audit module receiving a remote inspection request for selected jet fuel equipment at a location, sending an alert to inspectors at said location to initiate an inspection of said jet fuel equipment, receiving an inspection report input from said inspector and transmitting said inspection report input to said auditor in real-time.

6. The process of claim 4, wherein said spot audit module receives an amount of time for completion of the spot audit by the inspector and monitors whether said inspection report is completed within said amount of time.
