Maintenance Operations

1. Maintenance Operations

2. Principles of Maintenance • Maintenance performed at level best qualified, responsive & cost effective • IAW MAC chart • Repairs beyond organic capability delivered to next level • Unit level performed before evacuated • Controlled exchange used to support maintenance

3. Levels of Maintenance • Unit Maintenance: Maintenance which an organization has authorization & responsibility to perform on its own equipment. • Subdivided into: • first level (operator) • second level (trained maint. personnel)

4. Levels of Maintenance (cont) • Direct support: performed by TOE or TDA units responsible for DS • “return to user basis” • Technical assistance to unit maintenance elements • Repairable exchange of serviceable items for unserviceable

5. Levels of Maintenance (cont) • General support: maintenance support provided on an area basis • Overhaul at this level • Equipment repaired returned to supply system • “return to user” beyond DS • Repair part stocked for GS maint

6. Levels of Maintenance (cont) • Depot: performed by TDA industrial activities or Commercial contracts • Rebuild beyond GS capability • Workload programmed & budgeted annually by wholesale level • Rebuilt materiel returned to wholesale supply system

7. Evacuation & Repair Eligibility of Materiel • Maintenance beyond units capability evacuated to next higher level • TI done before evacuation: • to determine extent of repairs • classify item as economically uneconomically repairable • detemine if condition was from other than normal wear or combat damage.

8. Evacuation & Repair Eligibility of Materiel (cont) • Estimate the cost of repair: • Direct labor • Direct materials • Indirect or overhead costs • Contractual services • shipping costs

9. Evacuation & Repair Eligibility of Materiel (cont) • Condition codes used to classify equipment: • A - serviceable (without qualifications) • B - serviceable (with qualifications) • F - unserviceable (repairable) • G - unserviceable (incomplete) • H - unserviceable (condemned)

10. PLL Definitions • PLL: list of authorized repair parts to be on-hand or on order • support daily maint operations for a prescribed number of days • demand supported, non-demand supported, and initial stocked items • managed by AR 40-61, DA PAM 710-2-1

11. PLL Definitions (cont) • Initial Fielding List (IFL): support kits developed and fielded concurrently with DEPMEDS • managed individually by TAMMIS or DA Form 3318, Record of Demands • retention for 2 years without being demand support (can be extended by authorization from USAMMA)

12. PLL Definitions (cont) • Combat PLL: parts stocked for unit maint in combat/prescribed # of days • Mandatory Parts List (MPL): minimum stockage essential for use during wartime • published in TB 8-6500-MPL • TOE units with organic maintenance must stock MPL • D & D+60 Guard & Reserve also

13. Items Authorized for PLL/Combat PLL Stockage • PLL consists of: • items & quantities designated as initial stockage • demand supported items control period • Active - 180 days, USAR - 360 days • Other non-demanded supported items when authorized by 1st general officer in chain of command

14. Items Authorized for PLL & Combat PLL Stockage (cont) • PLL consists of: (cont) • parts for commercially designed equipment based on local experience • if authorized to perform next level maintenance may contain those • Basic Issue Items (BII) parts packed with equipment

15. Items Authorized for PLL & Combat PLL Stockage (cont) • Combat PLL consist of items & quantities prescribed by MPLs • Items consumed in maintenance (bench stock): • ordered & stocked on usage basis • stocked 7 days supply • no PLL records required unless part of PLL basic load

16. Initial Stockage of PLL • Initial stockage level determined by • U.S. Army Materiel Readiness Support Activity (USAMRSA) • U.S. Army Medical Materiel Agency (USAMMA) • Guidance for requesting assistance in paragraph 8-5, Chapter 8, of DA Pam 710-2-1

17. Initial Stockage of PLL (cont) • Upon receipt of PLL data: • prepare & process DA Form 2063-R • prepare a DA Form 3318 for each line authorized for stockage. Use stockage code “MS” • request initial stockage of PLL

18. Non-Stocked Item Demand File • Definition: separate file of DA Form 3318s used to record demands for parts not part of unit’s PLL to determine if parts should be stocked • Items must meet stockage criteria: • 3 demands in most recent 180 days • 3 demands in most recent 360 days

19. Non-Stocked Item Demand File (cont) • Items meet criteria can be moved DS • Unit commander decides to stock • if added, use ACWT for stockage level • prepare DA Form 3318 • file 3318 in PLL file, at to 2063-R, order • if not added, write “Commander does not desire to stock this item” continue to track

20. Non-Stocked Item Demand File (cont) • Maintenance of 3318: • 1st demand prepare 3318, post demand, order item & record request on 2063-R, file in NIIN sequence • 2nd & subsequent demands, post demand to 3318, line out demands out side of control period, review to see if item qualifies for DS

21. Authorized Stockage List (ASL) • MEDLOG Battalions operating under AR 40-61 as SSAs will provide Class VIII to all TOE units in their area • Re-supply of Class VIII will sustain essential maint operations • ASL shows items that are proven to be sufficiently active to warrant stockage regardless of demand

22. Authorized Stockage List (ASL) • ASL managed in a stock record account to show receipt, issue, and asset status of materiel • Repair parts stocked to re-supply unit level requirements & for MEDLOG’s organizational mission

23. Function, Concept, and Objective of TAMMS • Function: provide DA & commanders with info - effectiveness of maint policies, procedures and actions • Concept: record essential data concerning equipment operations • Objective: record minimum data, but essential data for control, operation & maint at each level of command

24. Basic Types of Records used in DA PAM 738-750 • Operational records: provide for control of operators & equipment, Examples: • Motor Vehicle Utilization Record (DD Form 1970) control use of equip • Organizational Control Record for Equipment (DA Form 2401) identify where equip is • Instructions found in Chapter 2, DA PAM 738-750

25. Basic Types of Records used in DA PAM 738-750 (cont) • Maintenance Records: used to control maintenance Example: • Exchange tag (DA Form 2402) identify warranty claims & equip improvement • Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet (DA Form 2404) identify equip faults during operator maint • Preventive Maintenance Schedule and Record (DD Form 314) • Chapter 5, DA PAM 738-750

26. Equipment Historical Record • Permanent record with info on receipt, operation, maint, modification, transfer & disposal of equipment • Examples: • Log Book Binder-consolidate historical records • Equipment Record Folder-appropriate TAMMS forms • DA Form 2408 Series-historical record • DA Form 2407-Maintenance Request

27. Mission Capability • FMC: can perform combat mission • NMC: cannot perform combat mission - faults in NOT AVAILABLE/ READY if column of PMCS checklist, outstanding Urgent or limited urgent MWO, Unit commander judges equip not to be safe or able to perform combat mission

28. Mission Capability (cont) • NMCM: NMC because of maint is being performed: • 2406 broken into organic or support • NMCM time recorded on back of 314 • NMCS: NMC because of supply • 2406 broken into organic or support • NMCS time recorded on back of 314

29. Mission Capability (cont) • Available Time: # of days that equip is on hand in FMC condition • Possible Time: # of days equip is on hand during reporting period • day item is gained is counted as day • day item is lost is not counted as day

30. Mission Capability (cont) • Deficiency: defect that makes item, system, subsystem inoperable(NMC) • Shortcoming: fault requires maint supply action, does not make (NMC)

31. Purpose of Readiness Reporting • Readiness determined by reporting actual status to established standard • Deficiences identified to detemine MC & time frame to achieve • Deficiences corrected by repair, redistribution, substitution, replenishment, or modernization within budget constraints

32. Individual Responsibilities for Readiness Reporting • Operator PMCS: operator responsible to notify maint activity of repairs identified • Repairer: maintain 314 • DA 2406: definitions, reportable equipment, responsibilities, distribution, and procedures listed in AR 700-138
