The basic function of a manufacturer's production support engineering
unit is to identify, document, and dispose of hardware that does not conform
to drawing requirements. CAMRAD, a program designed for rapid input
and retrieval of all data used in engineering-to-manufacturing support operations,
aids the engineer by automating the material review disposition
process.
Before CAMRAD, material review record searches were manual. The
time spent searching through old documents precluded the timely disposition
of new material reviews. CAMRAD facilitates the research of material
review histories and provides for the efficient processing of material review
documents.
Three SmartWare project files control the operation of CAMRAD. The
project file CAMRAD initializes variables for the other project files and
specifies the pathing of the CAMRAD program, database files, and document
files. The project file DATARAD controls all data management functions.
The database consists of individual files containing all records of specific
hardware discrepancies for a given part number. There are four basic
avenues for records searches:
- part serial number,
- feature,
- Material Review (MR) number,
- and non-conformance.
WORDRAD is the project file which controls
the management of document files created when processing a material
review disposition. Given a material review report identifying a defective
hardware item, the production support engineer can use CAMRAD to quickly
search the database for any history of the same problem, find out how well
the problem has been documented, and create appropriate documentation for
this latest occurrence.
CAMRAD carries the NASA case number MFS-29525. It was originally released as part of the NASA COSMIC collection.
