SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING ELECTRONIC LOGBOOK OBSERVED DEFECT FIX EFFECTIVENESS
First Claim
1. A method for automating tracking of an effectiveness of fault repairs, comprising:
- defining a unique fault code for each one of a plurality of different faults;
cataloging faults that are repaired according to their respective said fault codes and storing each said cataloged fault in a fix effectiveness subsystem;
placing said fix effectiveness subsystem in communication with an electronic logbook (ELB) system that is able to populate said fix effectiveness subsystem with additional fault information;
providing a user interface to enable a user to access said ELB system to obtain information on a specific fault condition that was previously stored on said fix effectiveness subsystem; and
presenting a fault history to said user from information stored in said fix effectiveness subsystem that enables said user to select a repair procedure for correcting said specific fault condition.

Abstract
A method for automating tracking of an effectiveness of fault repairs. The method may involve defining a unique fault code for each one of a plurality of different faults; cataloging faults that are repaired according to their respective fault codes and storing each cataloged fault in a fix effectiveness subsystem; placing the fix effectiveness subsystem in communication with an electronic logbook (ELB) system that is able to populate the fix effectiveness subsystem with additional fault information; providing a user interface to enable a user to access said ELB system to obtain information on a specific fault condition that was previously stored on the fix effectiveness subsystem; and presenting a fault history to the user from information stored in the fix effectiveness subsystem that enables the user to select a repair procedure for correcting the specific fault condition.

12. A method for automating tracking of an effectiveness of fault repairs, comprising:
-
defining a unique fault code for each one of a plurality of different fault conditions; cataloging faults that are repaired according to their respective said fault codes and storing each said cataloged fault in a fix effectiveness database; placing said fix effectiveness database in communication with an electronic logbook (ELB) system that is able to populate said fix effectiveness database with additional fault information from at least one external source; providing a user interface to enable a user to access said ELB system to obtain information on a specific fault condition that was previously stored on said fix effectiveness database; presenting a fault history to said user from information stored in said fix effectiveness database that enables said user to select a repair procedure for correcting said specific fault condition; using said user interface to enable said user to input information concerning a repair procedure performed and parts removed and replaced by said user to remove said specific fault condition, into a fix effectiveness tracking tool in communication with said fix effectiveness database, and storing said inputted information in said fix effectiveness database as a codified defect report for future access. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for automating tracking of an effectiveness of fault repairs, comprising:
-
an electronic logbook (ELB) system for generating fault repair information; a fix effectiveness subsystem in communication with said ELB system for cataloging faults that are repaired according to specific fault codes, and storing each said cataloged fault as a codified defect report, said ELB system being able to populate said fix effectiveness subsystem; a user interface that enables a user to access said ELB system to obtain information on a specific fault condition that was previously stored on said fix effectiveness subsystem; and said user interface including a visual display that presents a fault history report comprised of a plurality of previously stored codified defect reports to said user from information stored in said fix effectiveness subsystem that enables said user to select a repair procedure for ameliorating said specific fault condition. - View Dependent Claims (20)
