Enhanced Repair Process - Related Parts

There may be instances during the repair process where the defect can be repaired by repairing a related part.  The process for repairing the defect on the related part may differ from the process for the original part to which the defect was assigned.

Both the normal repair process and the enhanced repair process are outlined in the chart below:

A Do you wish to override defect part? message box will be displayed.  Press Yes.

If No is selected, the normal repair process will follow.

A list of applicable parts will be displayed. Select the desired related part.

Only parts with repair types matching the concern of the defect and have not already been added as a related part will be displayed.

The operator will be prompted to select the location if it has been configured.

The normal repair process is followed until the repair is completed.  The operator is returned to the Related Parts tab. Press Close.
