Question 1

ALMIS is not a new system: rather, it is an evolution of two legacy systems, _______ and _________

Answer 1

1. Asset Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS) 2. Asset Maintenance Management Information System (AMMIS)

Question 2

The ACMS program is comprised of several smaller subsystems dedicated to the tracking and reporting of all aspects of asset maintenance and logistics. What systems collectively comprise ACMS?

Answer 2

1. ACMS Maintenance Reporting and Tracking 2. Mandatory Special Requirements (MSR) 3. Special Requirements

Question 3

Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) program

Answer 3

Used to monitor and control the inherent reliability of fixed and rotary wing aircraft and surface vessels. The program monitors the performance of asset components continuously, and brings problems and deteriorating trends to the attention of Coast Guard management.

Question 4

ACMS Processing Cycle

Answer 4

When the operating activity performs a maintenance task, the action is reported via MPC. Each maintenance action report includes: 1. Date 2. Zulu Time 3. CMSCODE 4. Component or asset ID 5. Total asset hours (recorded to the tenth of an hour)

Question 5

ACMS Reports

Answer 5

1. Operational Reports - used daily by the operating units in support of maintenance. 2. Management Reports - Managerial reports provide statistical information regarding fleet readiness and data for performance and reliability analysis. Additional reports address MSR (including the status of deployed Search and Rescue(SAR) equipment and SR status. 3. System Reports - Reserved for support of ACMS database management, and therefore are not pertinent (or accessible) to most users.

Question 6

ACMS Support Asset maintenance analysts have an average of how many years of Coast Guard aviation experience and provide real world maintenance expertise to ACMS?

Answer 6

25 Years.

Question 7

ACMS Keyboard Commands

Answer 7

Tab - Used to move from one screen entry to the next

Backspace - Moves the cursor backwards and erases characters

Enter - Clear to end of line before moving to next field

F1 - Moves the cursor to the command line and scrolls to show additional commands

F2 - Provides additional HELP information (if available)

F3 - Exit to previous screen

F6 - Moves cursor to the next page on multi page screens

F7 - Clears the screen

F10 - Executes screen selection

Alt + 8 - Saves data

Ctrl/P - Back tab
