Abstract

A method for temporarily closing openings in an aircraft part during a manufacturing process by providing a first part that has a first opening and positioning a temporary closure member inside that first opening. The temporary closure member has an RFID tag that has stored on it a unique identification. At a later stage in the aircraft manufacturing process, a scanning device is used to scan for the RFID tag based on the identification. The temporary closure member is removed from the first opening and subsequently replaced by a permanent member.
