R} 3.3.4 Planning Maintenance
3.3.4.1 MMP. The purpose of the MMP is to provide scheduled control of the predictable maintenance workload, for example, inspections, transfer or receipt of aircraft, and compliance with TDs. By scheduling predictable maintenance, the capability for accomplishing unscheduled work can be determined. In addition, requirements for SE, material, manpower, and other factors affecting the maintenance operation can be determined in advance of actual need.
3.3.4.1.1 The O-level MMP shall contain the following minimum information:
a. Projected known operational commitments, including number of flights, flight hours, and aircraft use. (This information may be obtained from the Operations Officer.)
b. Aircraft scheduled inspection due dates.
c. Schedule of phase or PMI inspection planning meetings.
e. PME calibration requirements, to include both a list of PME due for calibration and a list of PME not yet returned from calibration. (MEASURE format 800, if verified as accurate, may be used to determine these requirements, but publication of both PME lists shall be included in the MMP.)
f. Schedule of technical training. (A separate Monthly Maintenance Training Plan may be prepared and distributed with the MMP as an alternative (Chapter 10, paragraph 10.1)).
g. Forced removal items, such as, high time components. h. TD compliance requirements.
i. Current list of QA personnel; QARs, CDQARs, and CDIs. j. List of QA audited programs and program managers/monitors.
k. Schedule of personnel due ejection seat safety checkout. A} The schedule shall include all personnel assigned TAD to duties outside the command and the date TAD commenced.
l. SE scheduled inspection due dates. m. Scheduled NDI requirements. n. Current designated plane captains.
o. A narrative or visual assessment from service unique maintenance personnel metric which demonstrates the organization’s ability to perform expected maintenance with current level of qualified personnel.
NOTE: These minimum information requirements may be enclosures produced by current information technology reports. Current information technology databases are also optional. In such a case, the database locator sheet shall be included in the MMP. If this option is used, strict security safeguards shall be enforced for appropriate administrator and read-only access levels.
3.3.4.1.2 The I-level MMP shall contain the following minimum information:
a. Projected schedule of items to be inducted for check and test from supported squadrons, weapons departments, air departments, and supply activities (as applicable).
b. Projected NDI requirements.
c. Anticipated changes in the workload due to operational commitments of supported activities.
d. Schedule of technical training. (A separate Monthly Maintenance Training Plan may be prepared and distributed with the MMP as an alternative (Chapter 10, paragraph 10.1)).
e. Schedule of maintenance requirements for shop installed SE, for example, NF 27T-10, tire breakdown equipment, and engine test cells, whether requirements are by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM or local MRCs.
f. TD compliance requirements.
g. Current list of QA personnel; QARs, CDQARs, and CDIs. h. Forced removal items, for example, high time.
i. Listing of QA audited programs and program managers/monitors. j. Other known or anticipated factors affecting the production effort.
NOTE: These minimum information requirements may be enclosures produced by current information technology reports. Current information technology databases are also optional. In such a case, the database locator sheet shall be included in the MMP. If this option is used, strict security safeguards shall be enforced for appropriate administrator and read-only access levels.
3.3.4.1.3 MMP shall be distributed to key maintenance personnel within the activity.
a. The O-level MMP shall be distributed by the 25th of the month prior to the month to which it applies, for example, the MMP for April would be published by the 25th of March. The supporting I-level shall be in the distribution.
b. The I-level/MALS MMP shall be distributed by the last day of the month prior to the month to which it applies.
NOTE: Distribution may be accomplished by current information technologies. For example, e-mail attachment, server-based, and web-based. If this option is used, strict security safeguards shall be enforced for appropriate administrator and read-only access levels.
3.3.4.2 Monthly Planning Meeting. A monthly maintenance planning meeting will be convened by the I-level MO to coordinate and improve the overall maintenance program. Maintenance and supply representatives from all supported activities on board including weapons departments shall attend.
3.3.4.3 The work center workload report provides a listing of all outstanding MAFs/WOs. The work center supervisor shall maintain the most current workload report in the work center. The notes and job status codes shall be kept updated to keep track of the work center maintenance/production workload
