Narrative:
Aircraft X was in ZZZ when they discovered a dent on #1 slat. Their evaluation of the dent was accomplished with what appears to be tape? [Engineering department] was notified and an [engineering order] was issued and item was placed on dip to be repaired in 1 fc. Once in ZZZ1 the dent was re-evaluated prior to permanent repair being performed and pulled fasteners and a crease was noted not allowing us to perform permanent repair per [engineering order]. [Engineering order] part 1 step 2 clearly states ensure dent is smooth and no creases or loose or pulled fasteners. The picture on page 4 of the [engineering order] you can see the 'well defined line' where there is underlying structure. [Engineering order] was not signed at time of release either. Slat is being repaired at ZZZ1 with another repair scheme outside the srm.[I suggest to] train our maintenance personnel better for damage evaluation and provide them with the tools necessary.
