Tracking The Costs Of Owning A Plane

Conklin & de Decker has released the latest version of its maintenance management software, MxManager®. Version 5.5 incorporates a number of changes and improvements for its users including the expanded capabilities of its unique Aircraft Maintenance Analysis System (AMAS).

AMAS® allows the maintenance director to compile and analyze historical cost data associated with work orders for individual and multiple aircraft. The report module allows analysis of parts and labor costs by ATA chapters, individual work orders, task codes and by year. For additional flexibility and analytical capabilities, the maintenance director can export the same information into Excel spreadsheets. 

Inventory Management

MxManager® 5.5 allows maintenance personnel to query and retrieve important inventory, bulletin and log book information more quickly with the improved Search and Find feature. Accounting also benefits from the new version as maintenance personnel can assign account codes to individual line items on work orders, purchase orders, and service orders.

Listening To Customers

Conklin & DeDecker said in their release, "Version 5.5 is the second release in 2003 for MxManager® and represents our continued commitment to customer service and product improvement for the maintenance organization. Many of our changes and improvements were a result of direct feedback from our customers.

MxManager® customers say that the software is the same as having a personal assistant in the maintenance department, an assistant that decreases their daily workload. Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, the maintenance management software assists in the areas of maintenance tracking, purchasing, inventory, work orders, and maintenance cost analysis. Most significantly, MxManager® offers the maintenance organization a quick and accurate means of answering important management questions."
