Q

Changes in weight or moment which significantly affect intact or damaged stability. Although each case is unique due to different limiting factors, changes which create more than a 0.001 foot change in KG or add/delete more than 1/20 of 1% of the full load displacement, require a Platform Engineering Change.

Q

Define Class “A” Engineering Change

A

Class A Engineering Changes shall be considered to be equivalent to urgent repairs and shall be accomplished at the first opportunity, but in no case later than one full availability cycle after the Engineering Change is issued.

Q

Define Class “B” Engineering Change

A

Class B Engineering Changes are less urgent than Class A Engineering Changes, but are of importance by reason of the resultant improvement in the service characteristics of the cutter, the health and comfort of its personnel, or notable improvements in efficiency and economy of operations and upkeep. Class B Engineering Changes shall be accomplished within two availability cycles from the time the Engineering Change is issued.

17
Q

Define Class “C” Engineering Change

A
Class C Engineering Changes are to be accomplished upon the occurrence of a specific event. This class of change describes a future configuration such as the
use of an improved joiner bulkhead panel or renewal of a reliable but obsolete pump. These changes are either impossible or undesirable to accomplish quickly on all vessels of a class. Delay in accomplishing this class of Engineering Change will not impact operational capability. The Engineering Change will identify the contingency. Once the contingent aspect of the Engineering Change has occurred, the Engineering Change becomes mandatory and must be completed within two years.
18
Q

According to the SFLC_SFCC_Process Guide, what does Phase 1 approval provide?

A

An approved Phase 1 authorizes development, installation,
and evaluation of a prototype by the applicable Product Line Manager (PLM) at the Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC).

19
Q

According to the SFLC_SFCC_Process Guide, what does Phase 2 approval provide?

A

Phase 2 is the evaluation on whether to go forward with fleet-wide implementation.

20
Q

SFCCB Phase 1 is required for the following proposed configuration changes:

A
  • Changes to an asset’s mission characteristics or capability.
  • Changes in weight or moment that significantly affect intact or damaged stability.
  • Changes to hull structure, space allocation, watertight integrity, or compartmentation.
  • Changes to an approved fluid or paint system.
  • Changes involving prototype installation and evaluation.
  • Changes that require Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) or TEMPEST testing.
  • Configuration changes in cross Product Line equipment.
21
Q

SFCCB Phase 1 is not required for the following:

A
  • Any change that modifies the Damage Control classification of a fitting.
  • Fleet-wide time sensitive inspections or changes.
  • Administrative revisions to previously approved TCTOs.
22
Q

Where SFCCB Phase 1 is required for changes in weight or moment that significantly affect intact or damaged stability. Although each case is unique due to different limiting factors, what is the general criteria that applies?

A
  • Non-Self-Righting Small Boats (less than 65 feet in length): Changes that create more than a 0.002 ft change in the center of gravity in any direction or net weight changes of more than 1/5 of 1% of the full load displacement.
  • All Other Vessels: Changes that create more than a 0.001 ft change in the center of
    gravity in any direction or net weight changes of more than 1/20 of 1% of the full
    load displacement.
23
Q

The SFCCB shall screen each proposal for configuration changes to ensure the change is required for one of the following reasons:

A
  • Operational Necessity: Identification of a Coast Guard Mission, which cannot be accomplished satisfactorily without modifying an asset.
  • Safety: Documented requirement based on a history of failure, personnel injuries, or engineering analysis.
  • Logistic Necessity: Projected maintenance or supportability problem which affects operational
    effectiveness or readiness.
  • Laws, Regulations, or Executive Orders: Configuration changes required to comply with laws,
    regulations, or executive orders.
  • Life-Cycle Cost Reduction: Modifications that reduce asset total cost of ownership.
