Maintenance Operations

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
 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)
 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
 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
 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
 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.
Evacuation & Repair Eligibility
of Materiel (cont)
◆ Estimate the cost of repair:
– Direct labor
– Direct materials
– Indirect or overhead costs
– Contractual services
– shipping costs
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)
 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
 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)
 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
 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
 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
 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
 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
 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
 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
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
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
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
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
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
 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
 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
 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
 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
 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
 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
 Mission Capability (cont)
◆ Deficiency: defect that makes item,
system, subsystem inoperable(NMC)
◆ Shortcoming: fault requires maint
supply action, does not make (NMC)
 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
 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
