Maintenance Ops at the CO level Flashcards
Define fully mission capable
systems and equipment that are safe and have all mission-essential subsystems installed and operating as designated by applicable Army regulation. Equipment is on-hand and able to perform it’s combat missions
Define non-mission capable
a material condition indicating that equipment cannot perform any one of its combat missions. Can be NMC maintenance or NMC supply
What are the two categories in the army maintenance system?
Field and sustainment
What are the 3 characteristics of the two level maintenance system?
- less maintenance echelon
- Returns equipment to the fight faster
- Reduces the logistics footprint in the battlefield
Functions and characteristics of sustainment maintenance (7 total)
- commodity oriented repair of components and end-items
- structured echelons above BCTs
- Tactical, installation, depot, and contractor activities
- Troubleshooting components, repair and return to the supply system
- Job shop bay/production line operations
- Depot maintenance is a subset of sustainment maintenance
- utilizes logistics management program to track maintenance
Functions and characteristics of the field maintenance system (5 total)
- repair and return equipment to user
- operator/crew maintenance is the most critical operation of the AMS
- operators perform PMCS and assist in services
- mechanics conduct troubleshooting, replace components, technical inspections, apply modified work notifications, utilize technical manuals
- tracked via GCSS Army
sustainment maintenance actions
- off-system
- disassemble/reassemble
- repair to national standard
- requires wide variety of tools
- typical rebuild tasks: starter, electronic module, engine, transmission
field maintenance actions
- on or near system
- use of line replaceable units (LRUs)
- fewer actions requiring tools
- crew level maintenance tasks: perform PMCS, identify and annotate corrosion and take corrective actions within the operator’s capabilities; lubricating, preserving, cleaning, tightening, replacement, and minor adjustments
- typical replace tasks: starter, winch, electronic module
Define GCSS Army
a fully integrated, web-based, logistics information system; it is a tactical sustainment ERP
Describe the functions of GCSS Army
- presents unparalleled potential for logistics superiority on 21st century battlefield
- supports JOINT operations
- addresses age old automated logistics short-falls
- proven efficient, effective, and economical
- will serve as major combat multiplier
What does ERP stand for
Enterprise resource planning
What does ERP do?
- introduces new business capabilities
- introduces new ways of doing old business
- transforms business operations - revolutionary vs. evolutionary
How are ERP and GCSS Army related?
- Using AKO, GCSS provides user with access from anywhere in the world through a web browser which provides interfaces to national level systems, best business practices, integration across all tactical business areas
- army logistics systems are becoming more integrated by using the same ERP software which provides “one version of the truth.”
- one version of the truth exists through enterprise in the following systems: general fund enterprise business system (GERBS), logistics modernization program (LMP), army enterprise system integration program (AESIP), global combat support system (GCSS-Army)
What does ESR stand for?
equipment situation report
Which processes are available management from the ESR?
- inbound delivery monitor
- usage report
- dispatch
- order
- notification
- fault management
- material movement
Define open/closed notification and open/closed work orders
provides the ability to view all open or closed notifications by serial number, end item, LIN, NIIN, or work center level
Define inbound delivery monitor
Provides the ability to view what materials are awaiting pick-up at the supporting SSA by UIC
