Here's an example of how the CaseBank solutions can save time and money. An airliner was ready to take off when a problem was discovered: there was no airflow in the cabin. Although it was obvious that something was wrong, the aircraft's built-in test systems showed everything to be working correctly. The flight had to be canceled while repair technicians investigated the problem. Three hours later, a technician found the source of the fault - a loose pipe fitting in the tail of the aircraft. Once the fault was located, it was repaired in a matter of minutes and the aircraft was released for service.
In the next few months, at that same airline, the same problem occurred three more times on different aircraft at different locations. In each case it was necessary to cancel the flight. None of the technicians assigned to find the problem knew that it had occurred before. If CaseBank solutions had been available, the guided diagnostic troubleshooting would have alerted them to the findings of the technician who solved the original problem, and the last three cancellations could have been avoided, with a significant saving in cost and customer satisfaction for the airline.
The aircraft guided diagnostic service is ideal for users at all levels of expertise. Experienced technicians unfamiliar with an aircraft can be fully up to speed in very little time. It's as if they have an expert on their shoulder asking discriminating questions.
You can free your resident experts from solving routine problems that can be handled by others, allowing your most experienced people to focus on the never-before-seen problems that can best use their knowledge and expertise. And of course, once a new problem gets solved, it is seamlessly added to the knowledgebase where everyone has access to the new knowledge.
CaseBank has made it easy for your technicians to work with the aircraft guided diagnostic service. First of all, it's intuitive. A technician simply enters one or two visible symptoms, and then a dialogue begins with point-and-click ease. The software presents a series of discriminating questions that lead the troubleshooter directly to the most relevant situations.
With its Hybrid Reasoning engine, you are able to work around areas where knowledge is incomplete and, using Fuzzy Logic, can find all relevant solutions even where the information provided is similar to but not exactly the same as what is in the stored knowledgebase.
The aircraft guided diagnostic service's unique ability to discriminate between multiple configurations of aircraft, from fleet down to an individual aircraft, ensures that a troubleshooter is presented with relevant information only. SpotLight - your own private expert guide to solving problems.
